Afterwards Tiger referred to the 30 foot putt that could have tied it on the last hole as "a triple break." With the greens that tough, no wonder the best golfers in the world were all above par.

Par in itself was a distorted concept in this tournament. They tricked the course out to be as nasty as possible, then called it a par 70. Including two par 4's of 500 yards or more.
