What did we uncover after Tiger's win at the Memorial? For one, that the world's No. 1 player loves to silence his critics.
Woods hit all 14 fairways, something the world's No. 1 player had not done in six years and now has accomplished just six times in his PGA Tour career. He saw Woods hit 13 of 18 greens. He watched him somehow gouge a flop shot out of the deep rough that trundled into the hole for an eagle.
Woods hit approach shots stiff at the 17th and 18th holes that set up birdies to cap a final-round 65 and a 1-stroke victory over Jim Furyk.
"I tried not to watch him, but it's hard not to," said Letzig, who began the day tied with Woods, 4 shots back, and ended up tied for 14th. "Some of the shots are just unreal. He's a lot better than everybody else. It's tough because it's golf to us. The way he plays, the way he hits his irons ... it's unreal."
Woods made seven birdies, an eagle and two bogeys and won for the second time this year since coming back from knee surgery.
"It was just a matter of time," Woods said. "It came together this week."
"My practice sessions started getting longer at home," he said. "Hit more balls, play more golf, all these things. People don't realize you need to do that. You need to have that ability. You can't just think about your swing and how to be great the next day. I needed to do the reps and do some good practice sessions the past couple of weeks.
"I knew I could do this. It's just a matter of give me a little bit of time. I just came off a pretty extended break, and I was close to winning, but the game wasn't quite there when I really needed it on Sunday. I rectified that."
But his indifferent play at all three of those tournaments left him vulnerable to the critics. His game was second-guessed .
"I wish you'd all quit ticking him off," said Furyk, laughing, after a final-hole birdie left him 1 shot short of Woods. "Wish you'd quit chapping him so much and make him come back and keep proving stuff. Tiger Woods is always Tiger Woods. He can't be 100 percent every week, but I'm sure he answered a lot of questions today."
If you're keeping track, that's two victories in seven starts this year for Woods. He now trails tournament host Jack Nicklaus by six for second place on the all-time PGA Tour victory list.

KOBE BRYANT - NOT A NICE GUY
Kobe Bryant is not a nice guy.
Rather, he is "a killer, a gunslinger, a guy who will take the weak and have no mercy on them. That's one of the things about Kobe. He's a tough character, but he's got a real nice demeanor and carries himself very well."
Those were the words Saturday of his coach, Phil Jackson, the guy who has sat on the sidelines and guided Bryant through nine of his 13 NBA seasons.
To Jackson, Bryant is nowhere near the same mystery he is to the rest of the world, a player whose mood throughout this postseason has been scrutinized closely.
In Game 1 of this series, it immediately jumped out at colleague J.A. Adande that Kobe brought his game face to the center circle for the opening tip, the first guy out there, "bad man" written all over his focused features. He scored his 40 without yapping, looking as unstoppable as he ever has.
Afterward, he kept up his recent habit of being borderline morose in his news conference -- he said his daughters had been calling him "Grumpy," a reference to one of the Seven Dwarfs in the Snow White fairy tale, because of his mood lately) -- and observers were struck by how it was such a far cry from the loose Kobe we saw during last season's Finals against Boston.
His checkered history, his mood swings, and his successes and failures have all fed into the accurate and inaccurate perceptions of Bryant, but the latter was the topic Jackson was asked about on the eve of Game 2 of the NBA Finals:
"What is the biggest misperception people have of Kobe?"
Jackson's answer actually had two parts, the second being that people have the mistaken impression that Bryant is a selfish player: "All of us have a certain amount of ego in this game. But he understands what the mood and the temperament of the game is a lot of time, reads the game, knows when he has to carry the thrust of our team a lot and then knows a lot of times if he's got to pull back or sit back and let some other people do what they can do best on the team."
Bryant's Olympic teammates undoubtedly developed a new level of respect for Bryant from witnessing his dedication to his craft, and the workout time he put in.
Dwight Howard had this to say about Kobe, “He is a nice guy, a very nice guy. He's a great team player, one of the hardest-working people you'll ever meet.”
"Sometimes he goes crazy. He starts making unbelievable shots, he plays great defense," Howard said. "When he has that killer-instinct look, you probably saw it last game, it is a sight to see."
"Just because you're focused on something doesn't mean you don't enjoy something," Bryant replied when asked whether he was enjoying this, since it appears to the untrained eye that he is not. "That's part of the fun is just figuring out how to focus and how to get ready to play game after game. You can still do your job and still have a good time."

DRE BLY - LEADERSHIP
49ers' Dre Bly: “Championship teams start with a great leader, a great guy at the top. You need somebody great to lead you.”
KOBE BRYANT - ATTACKING & LEADING
Rafer Alston talking about Kobe after Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs: “Kobe just attacks, attacks, attacks. LeBron will dominate, then ease back. Kobe just keeps coming. It’s relentless.”
Rick Fox on Kobe's early career: "He was perceived as the little brother. He wanted to be the big brother. He had the desire to lead."

KOBE - PRESSURE RELIEVER
Magic Johnson had his magnetic smile. Michael Jordan soared to the basket with his tongue hanging out. Kobe Bryant is baring his teeth and scowling in these NBA finals.
Bryant makes no apologies for his no-fun demeanor.
"I just think it's been building," he said Friday. "I've been pacing myself all year waiting for these playoffs to come around. The table is set."
The Lakers exhaled a day after routing the Orlando Magic 100-75 in Game 1 of the NBA finals.
Much of Bryant's laser focus is the result of the Lakers losing to Detroit and Boston in their previous finals appearances in 2004 and last year. He detests losing, and at 30, he is more conscious that winning championships is the bedrock in building the legacy of a player who wants to be among the greatest.
"I just want it so bad," he said. "This time around we're just really locked in."
Coach Phil Jackson said that behind closed doors Bryant is just as quiet and focused.
"You have to stay driven and motivated, and I think it's really important that he takes that leadership role for this team," he said.
Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy has seen Bryant's willful side emerge before.
"When he's playing as well as he did last night, there's really no pressure on anybody else. You shoot the ball freely, you play freely because if you hit a bad stretch, you'll just go back to him and he'll take care of everything," Van Gundy said. "What the great players do to make their teammates better is they take the pressure off of them."

VINCE LOMBARDI
There was a marvelous book that came out in 2001 titled: What It Take To Be #1. A lot of people write books on the topic of being #1 but this particular book is about Vince Lombardi, one of the great coaches and leaders of our time. It is written by someone who knew Coach Lombardi at a very deep level -- his son, Vince Lombardi, Jr. It is an inside look at the way Vince Lombardi lived his life and coached his teams. One of the better chapters deal with seven elements of success in the Lombardi philosophy.
COURAGE
Courage is the habit of mind that allows us to meet danger, opposition, or hopelessly long odds with poise and resolution. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage means experiencing fear.
"The important thought is that the Packers thrived on
tough competition. We welcomed it; the team had always
welcomed it. The adrenaline flowed a little quicker when
we were player the tougher team."
-Vince Lombardi-
PASSION
Passion and enthusiasm are the seeds of achievement. Enthusiasm is like an ocean tide. There's a certain inevitability about it. Passion sweeps obstacles away. It's tough to be a leader if you can't energize your people and tap into their emotional energy.
"To be successful, a man must exert an effective influence
upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree
in which he accomplishes this depends on the personality
of the man. The incandescence of which he is capable.
The flame of the fire that burns inside him. The magnetism
which draws the hearts of men to him."
-Vince Lombardi-
SACRIFICE
Character takes sacrifice: the giving up of one thing for the sake of another.
"I think you've got to pay a price for anything that's
worthwhile, and success is paying the price. You've got to
pay the price to win, you've got to pay the price to stay
on top, and you've got to pay the price to get there."
-Vince Lombardi-
TOTAL COMMITMENT
Closely related to the habit of sacrifice is the habit of total commitment. Total commitment means no loafing, idling, standing around, goofing off or phoning in sick. The essence of commitment is the act of making a decision.
"The quality of each man is the measure of that man's personal
commitment to excellence and to victory -- whether it be football,
whether it be business, whether it be politics or government."
-Vince Lombardi-
HARD WORK
Jim Howell, then head coach of the New York Giants where Lombardi was an assistant would comment: "When other coaches -- the rest of us -- would leave the Giant offices, there was always one light still burning, the one in Vince Lombardi's office."
"If you really want something , you can have it if you're
willing to pay the price. And the price means you have to
work better and harder than the next guy."
-Vince Lombardi-
DISCIPLINE
Hard work is also discipline: the kind of focused training that develops self-control. Discipline helps you make the hard decisions. In leading a team or organization, discipline leads to freedom.
"A good leader must be harder on himself than anyone else.
He must first discipline himself before he can discipline another.
A man should not ask others to do things he would not have
asked himself to do at one time or another in his life."
-Vince Lombardi-
MENTAL TOUGHNESS
Mental toughness was one of my father's favorite topics. He believe it was the single most important skill leaders could develop in themselves and the people around them. Mental toughness is the ability to hold onto your goals in the face of the pressure and stress of current reality. It's the ability to hold on, and hold on , and hold onto what you want in the face of what you're not. Mental toughness is the glue that holds a team together when the heat is on and helps that team persevere just a little bit longer, which in many cases is just enough to outlast the opposition.
"Mental toughness is many things, and rather
difficult to explain. It's qualities are sacrifice and self-denial.
Also, most importantly, it is combined with the perfectly
discipline will, which refuses to give in. It's a state of mind --
you could call it 'character in action.'"
-Vince Lombardi-
"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender."
-Vince Lombardi-

DAILY TO DO'S FOR LEADERS
Below is the list of 12 Simple "Daily To Do's For Leaders"
1. Be the hardest worker at practice today
Without fail, one of the quickest ways to impact a team is with your own work ethic. Choose to be one of the hardest workers on your team. Not only does it set the tone for the work ethic of your program, it is also one of the best and quickest ways to enhance your leadership credibility with your teammates and coaches.
2. Be a spark of energy and enthusiasm
Let your passion for the sport shine through. Spread a contagious energy and enthusiasm amongst your teammates. Think about how lucky you are to be able to play and compete.
3. Model mental toughness today
Because your teammates will look to you under pressure, adversity, and stress, be sure to model mental toughness. Bounce back quickly after errors to show your teammates how to respond to negative situations. Maintain your poise and optimism despite any mistakes you might make so that your teammates can trust and rely on you to get them through the tough times.
4. Connect with a teammate today
Leadership is all about relationships. Invest the time to build and strengthen the relationships you have with each of your teammates. Inquire about their day, challenges, and goals. Make a special and ongoing effort to get to know every athlete on your team, not just your friends. The relationship building you do each day will pay off immeasurably down the road.
5. Compliment a teammate today
Be on the lookout for teammates who are contributing to your team. Call out a teammate for making a hustle play, pushing through a weight workout, recovering quickly from a mistake, etc. Praise the actions and attitudes you want to see repeated. As Mother Teresa once said, "Kind words are short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless."
6. Challenge a teammate today
Challenge at least one of your teammates today. Positively push them and yourself to make the most of your workout. Make a friendly wager. See if you both can improve your times in conditioning. Offer to stay after to help if there is anything they want to work on. Good leaders consistently invite, inspire, and sometimes implore others to greatness.
7. Support a teammate today
Odds are, at least one of your teammates is struggling with something today - it could be a performance slump, a rocky romantic relationship, a disagreement with a coach, an unglamorous role, struggling with a class, or a sick family member. Good leaders are consistently on the lookout for teammates who might be struggling and are ready to offer an ear to listen, an encouraging word, a pat on the back, or a shoulder to cry on.
8. Constructively confront negativity, pessimism, and laziness today
As a leader, have the courage to constructively confront the negativity, pessimism, and laziness that will crop up on your team from time to time. Instead of fueling the fire by joining in or silently standing by, be sure to refocus your teammates on solutions rather than dwelling on and complaining about the problems. Left unchecked, these problems can quickly grow to distract, divide, and destroy your team.
9. Build and bond your team today
Team chemistry naturally ebbs and flows throughout the course of the season. Take the time to monitor and maintain your team's chemistry. Let your reserves and support staff know how much you appreciate them. Stay connected and current with each of the natural sub-groups on your team. Douse any brush fires that might be occurring and continually remind team members about your common goal and common bond.
10. Check in with your coach today
Invest the time to check in with your coach today. Ask what you can do to best help the team this week. Find out what your coach wants to accomplish with today's practice. Also discuss if there is anything your coach is concerned about regarding your team. Discuss your collective insights on your team's chemistry, focus, and mindset. Work together to effectively co-lead your team.
11. Remind your team how today's work leads to tomorrow's dreams
It's easy to get bogged down during your season with monotonous drills, tiring conditioning, and demanding workouts. Remind your teammates how all the quality work you do today gives you a distinct advantage over your opponents. Help them see and even get excited about how today's hard work is a long-term investment in your team's goals, rather than just a short-term hardship or sacrifice.
12. Represent yourself and team with class and pride
Leaders have the awesome privilege and responsibility of representing their teams. Take advantage of this opportunity by representing your team with class and pride. Hold a door open for someone, sit in the front rows of class and actively engage in the discussion, say please and thank you, dress in respectful attire, etc. These tiny pushes represent you and your team with class and distinction. And they ultimately set you up for a lifetime of respect and success.
