Michael Wilbon

Tiger Woods was winning Doral.

and he was trying to finish it off, and he was up by two.

If you remember the 18th hole at Doral with the water all down the left, very difficult driving hole.

Grant stands on the right, very challenging par four to finish.

Tiger was ahead by two shots.

He pulled out an iron.

He pulled out another iron, and then he wedged it onto the green.

It's a par four.

Wedged it onto the green, two putt for five, wins by one.

I remember asking him afterwards, wow, that was wild strategy.

What made you think about doing it that way?

And he said succinctly, it doesn't matter how you win.

It matters that you win.

So with Rory only needing a five there with a two-shot lead, I didn't think Driver was the play.

And I think Rory McIlroy is one of the two or three best drivers of the golf ball on the planet.

But in that particular situation, all you have to do, it wasn't Van de Velde and like 99 at Carnoustie.

It wasn't anything like that.

But...

I thought, wow, you need a five here.

You're hitting the ball all over the place with your driver.
