DORAL, Florida \u2013 A golfer is never really satisfied, but to try and find fault with Tiger Woods\u2019 game at this point is difficult.<\/p>\n
Sure, Woods made a sloppy bogey at the final hole to win by two shots \u2013 the closest anyone got to him Sunday \u2013 and he could hit a few more fairways and maybe he needs to figure out a way to climb up the occasional tree when his ball comes to rest in one.<\/p>\n
But his performance at the Trump Doral Resort this week in winning the WGC-Cadillac Championship was simply his best since the fourth major overhaul of his swing began under Sean Foley in August of 2010.<\/p>\n
Woods already has two PGA Tour victories this season, and he has some improved iron play from 50-125 yards out to thank.<\/p>\n
His proximity to the hole on such shots this year is 14 feet, 1 inch, the ninth-best total on the PGA Tour \u2013 and significantly better than his previous two seasons.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t mean he will win the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks or the Masters next month; the game is too fickle, too unpredictable, too maddening to make those kinds of assumptions.<\/p>\n
His caddie, Joe LaCava, said this was Woods\u2019 best 72-hole performance since hooking up with him in October 2011.<\/p>\n
