It wasn't always pretty, but what took place at TPC Sawgrass this weekend was definitely entertaining, contends Paul Azinger.

Regarding the errant shot, Azinger discusses why Tiger's subsequent drop seemed good to him. However, Azinger doesn't give Tiger a pass for his part in the spat with Sergio Garcia.
