Guys face these "tough" conditions all the time and still do fine. These guys faced them and shot 72's, 73's and 75's. They choked. Not sure how people can argue that at all.
I don't understand how 72 is a "choke" when, as someone else mentioned above, only 8 out of 77 players managed to break 70. 69 out of 77 of the guys shot 70 or above. So 69 players (or basically 90% of the tournament field) are "choking" to give Tiger the win? You said it yourself - these guys aren't hacks. So how is it possible that 90% of them couldn't break 70 and were therefore all simultaneously choking?

Those shooting above 75... okay maybe that's getting into choke territory. But 72, 73... ?? Come on now.
