Four!

He didn't win the PGA.

He didn't play in it!

So blame his agent!

They played the PGA and the British at almost the same time that year!

Which only goes to show how many people cared about the Grand Slam then. Today, winning the Slam would come with so much pressure and attention you wouldn't wish it on the DMV. Sorry, winning the Slam can't be done.

Which is exactly what they said about somebody winning three straight U.S. Juniors, three consecutive U.S. Amateurs and five tournaments in his first nine months on the Tour. Listen, this kid is like nobody who's come along. His insides are galvanized steel. In the last six years he has won his season's biggest USGA championship, and in each one of those six he was behind in the final match. Is that XXL stones or what? And each year they said he wouldn't do it the next year. It's like Butch says: "The biggest strength of Tiger Woods you can't see. It's his mind." What makes you think he can't make it seven in a row?

Just the normal allotment of brain cells and a sense of history. Something Tiger has no sense of yet.

History is what the kid is making! Where have you been, Reykjavik? Here's how his last four starts have gone: first, first, fourth and...

...barely made the cut at Memorial.

Even Wolfgang Puck burns a soufflé once in a while. The important thing is, this kid knows what he's trying to achieve. He's constantly down at the Golf Channel in Orlando, bugging the folks there for tapes of old tournaments. Right now he's got all their Congressional tapes. The other night he was on the Internet, checking out Nicklaus's record in the majors. When he saw it, it blew him away. He called Butch and said. "Can you believe it. Nineteen seconds! Nine thirds! Seventy-two top 10s!" And Butch said. "See? You got a long way to go, don't you?"
