HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – The comparisons have been predictably bold in the days following Tiger Woods’ victory at the Masters.
Was this triumph better than his 1997 Masters victory? Better than his 2008 U.S. Open victory on one leg at Torrey Pines? And could it have even been better than Jack Nicklaus’ historic breakthrough at the 1986 Masters?
“I heard him asked where does this major stack up with all of them. And you certainly think of his first one there, and you think of '08, Torrey. But I think this was the biggest in the sense that kind of the unknown,” Webb Simpson said on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
