Tiger Woods holding the Accenture Match Play Championship trophy

Tiger, tiger burning bright!
Its the time for celebration for all the Tiger fans! Yes, Tiger Woods is back in action with a bang. Woods overcame a front-nine wobble to win his first match at the Accenture Match Play Championship. Incidentally this was his first professional outing since last June when he won the US Open. Right after this victory Tiger Woods had to undergo a reconstructive knee surgery.

Thank God! The long hibernation did not leave any mark on his game. Woods had a whopping 3&2 victory over the young Australian golfer Brendan Jones and marched to the second round of Accenture Match Play Championship. Organized at the picturesque Ritz-Carlton Club Tiger Woods managed to live up to the expectations of the crowd and smashed a 460-yard par-four in the opening hole. Woods went on to bogey the four-par at the seventh and hit a birdie in the eighth hole. Tiger Woods went ahead of his opponent in 12th and 13th holes and soon took the control of the game in his favor by winning the 16th hole.

Though the spectators were quite happy with the victory but Tiger Woods himself admitted that he “had some loose irons in the middle part of the round”. According to him the saving grace to his play was the strong start that the world champion had. It was great news for the Tiger fans as the star himself admitted about his knee that “it felt good”.

There were more football and hockey at that time. Cricket wasn’t that popular and was considered the game of riches. But there was no golf, at least not in the news or in anything that common man has any association with.

But I know golf. I can name all the players who have been successful in this sport and have created their identities. Golf is also making headlines in news today. We know about the various tours and the Master’s tournaments. We know how Jeev Milkha Singh, Arjun Atwal and Jyoti Randhawa are doing at the various tournaments. And there are television commercials endorsed by the golfers!

The Sophisticated Game of Golf

The Sophisticated Game of Golf

More people are now interested in golf since there are fame and money attached to the sport just like they are with any other sports. It is common to find many youngsters gathering at the open fields on weekends with the hope of becoming another Jeev Milkha Singh in their heart. It is also heartening to see that golf is receiving so much support from the business communities as well.

My father often regrets for not getting the same football or hockey nowadays. I hope my pride will be alive for many more years when more Indians will come forward to rule the international golf courses.
