When you've been through what Tiger Woods and Chris DiMarco have been through the last few months, and you play your heart out to win something that few will ever win, and then you're able to keep your composure, you can tell me to "lighten up". Until then, you shouldn't be commenting on things you don't understand.

I understand totally. I was glad to see someone win who showed some emotion, because we can empathize with them. They're just regular people like us. I was so pulling for Dimarco with his recent tragedy, and after he made that monster on 14, I really thought he had it.

In hind site, Dimarco in the last group and Tiger seeing what he was doing, probably would have got into his head. I gaurantee that had Dimaroc been making those shots in front of Tiger it would of rattled him. But Sergio. Don't even get me started on him. He made it SO much easier for Tiger.

Seeing Tiger fall into Elin's arms crying was one of the most touching and emotional moments I've ever witnessed during a sporting event. It almost had be going for a minute and I'm not even a fan of the guy. You could really empathize with the rush of emotions that had to be flooding through Tiger at that moment. I know he doesn't usually like to share that side of himself, but I thought it was great that the world got to see him as the vulnerable, sensitive human being that he is instead of the Superman, take-no-prisoners guy we see inside the ropes.

It was very REAL... his outpouring of emotion. It definitely got me choked up.

It wasn't that contrived running onto the green like Phil's family lol

I can't go there with you, though. I don't think that there is anything contrived about Phil's love for his family or theirs for him.

that was over the top and a silly thing to say.
have you ever lost a parent?, they brought you up, been there for you through the good and bad, then suddenly they arent there anymore, is it hard for you to understand why people get emotional?
i take it you have never lost someone close to make a sarcastic comment like that?

Oh, I certainly don't question his love for his family.

I just wonder about their running on the green to greet him...It just seems to me like he and Amy working hard to maintain his smiling, good guy reputation. But, I could be reading too much into it.
