Tiger's Silver Two-Iron

Tiger Woods won his third Open Championship and 11th major title with a breathtaking display of precision and control at Hoylake, beating Chris DiMarco by two shots. His strategy of short - but straight - drives with his deadly two-iron and longer shots to the greens paid off, and his superb ball-striking should silence critics of his swing changes, most notably another three-time champion, Nick Faldo.

	Elin’s beautiful, always very dutiful, watching Tiger play, This is his big day, an eleventh major-or-or. Stay short off the tee, that’s his Hoylake strategy, keep on the fairway, While the others hack from the rough and sa-a-a-and. And though DiMarco nearly caught up, he sticks to his game plan. Thwack! Thwack! Tiger’s silver two-iron swung down and sealed their fate. Smack! Smack! Tiger’s silver two-iron made sure that he stayed straight. Standing by the tee, Tiger says to his caddie, "Man, I promise you, The big stick won’t come out of the bag, no-o-o-o. If I hit a drive, that’s the sure way to take five, so we won’t do that. Maybe hit three-wood, if the wind should blow-ow-ow-ow". So when he steps up onto the tee, Steve hands him the iron. Thwack! Thwack! Tiger’s silver two-iron swung down and sealed their fate. Smack! Smack! Tiger’s silver two-iron made sure that he stayed straight. He gets a wifely hug, ‘cos he’s won the Claret Jug And proved Faldo wrong. Coach Hank gets an embrace from Tiger too-oo-oo-oo. "Twice I’ve changed my swing, distance isn’t everything, you must have control, "Be sure the ball won’t roll into bunkers, phew-ew-ew-ew". By letting others make all the slips, he never falls behind. Thwack! Thwack! Tiger’s silver two-iron swung down and sealed their fate. Smack! Smack! Tiger’s silver two-iron made sure that he stayed straight. Silver two-iron man.
