  1. I remember this…the quote Ames made went out over the news wires like wild fire. Before the match started, everyone was curious how Tiger would respond and…boy-o-boy did he did respond. Although this video is just a snippet of Tiger's career, it captures just who he was in his prime. Tiger was probably the fiercest competitor I've ever seen. Michael Jordan may have been his only equal in all of history of professional athletics. Besides being the best of their era, what set both of them apart from generations of athletes is how the higher the heat, the better they performed…and they did it over and over and over. In this case, even though Stephen Ames tried to walk back his words immediately after they came out, it lit a fire under Tiger and what did he do? Made 7 birdies in 10 holes and set a record that still stands. Simply amazing. Just another feather in the cap of the greatest competitor I've ever seen in my 64 years of watching pro sports.

  2. And Ames lost 7 and 6 to someone else the year before? I guess this beatdown wasn't that much of a surprise, even with the comment.

  3. I didn't actually hear his comment. So maybe it was just the tone. Because in reading it, it doesn't seem like he was trying to insult Tiger. I took it as more just a generic comment that wasn't really a big deal.
