Who's Your Daddy?

Guess who just picked up their first PGA tour victory as a dad? Tiger Woods was one shot behind Rory Sabbatini (who probably got his ass kicked every day in high school with a name like that) entering the final round of Bridgestone Invitational. After two holes El Tigre was tied for the lead, then went on to bury the rest of the field and finished 8 strokes ahead of 2nd place Chris DiMarco. That's right fellas ... who's your daddy?

A bit of history for those readers that only watch baseball, basketball and football. Rory Blabbatini lost a one stroke lead to Tiger in the Wachovia Championship then had the balls to say Tiger looked "beatable as ever". Not a good idea there Champ. Tiger must have remembered and turned in the only bogey-free round of the day.

In the process of his meltdown, Rory got some well deserved love from the fans. After he finished butchering the 9th hole with a double bogey a fan asked, "Hey Rory, still think Tiger is beatable?" Sticking with his classless performance on the course, Rory talked to a police officer and the fan was removed. Ernie Els (The Big Easy) was probably waiting on Rory to finish his round and get to the clubhouse so he could kick his ass for giving South Africans a bad name.

Back to Tiger, a few numbers:

• 6: This is Tiger's sixth win at Bridgestone. A double triple since this is the second time he's won the event three times in a row.


• 14: Number of wins in 25 starts at World Golf Championship events. That's a win 56% of the time he enters a WGC event, which just so happen to include the top golfers from around the world based on Official World Golf Rankings.


• 58: Number of PGA tour victories. At 32 Tiger is already 5th on the all-time PGA tour victories list (Arnold Palmer, 62; Ben Hogan, 64; Jack Nicklaus, 73; Sam Snead, 82). The next closest active players are tied at 15th with 31 wins (Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh).


• 12: Number of major championships. Tiger is already second on this list behind only Nicklaus with 18.

On the last number, Tiger may increase it to 13 with the PGA Championship at Southern Hills starting next Thursday. Not that Tiger needed today's win to get any more confidence, but just in case the rest of the field was starting to lose their fear. Even if Tiger doesn't win the PGA and finishes 0 for 4 in the majors this year he's not exactly in a slump. Since 2005 he has gone no longer than 5 starts on the tour without winning an event. That rivals The Peoples Champ statistics on entering and winning poker tournaments.

And by the way, Tiger hit the ball 272 times and took home$1.35 million (that's $4,963 per stroke for the math challenged). What did you do this weekend?
