The self-fulfilling prophecy component of golf

I pretty much watched all of this year's Masters.

No complaints about anything, it had everything you could ask for.

Charl Swartzel played probably the best final round in the history of the tournament. He finished with 4 birdies in a row to win the whole thing. That's incredible.

Tiger said on Saturday that he need a good front nine, which he accomplished. He was 5-under through the front nine on Sunday, but he was even on the back 9.

So, getting to my self-fulfilling prophecy component, Tiger probably should have said I need to shoot a 63, or something to that effect. Because, at the end of the day, it wasn't enough to say, "I need to have a good front 9." He had a good front 9, and it wasn't enough.

But, then again, no one ever said Tiger Woods has to win every tournament.
