Urging Tiger Woods to win a major championship would seem laughably unnecessary, like telling Albert Pujols to get a big hit or Ari Gold to scorch Lloyd's earlobes on Entourage. Still, I would like to see him pocket one this week for the first time in 13 months. That way, he'll avoid any ticking-clock syndrome that might set in if, oh, he's in his mid-30s and remains five majors short of passing Jack Nicklaus.He wouldn't want anyone crying "SLUMP!!!" as a certain someone did earlier this decade, when 10 events and 2 1/2 years passed without a major victory. I even began calling him Eldrick, figuring he wasn't Tiger anymore.
