O’Hair Psychs Himself Out

Tiger Woods entered the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a five shot deficit to make up again 54 hole leader Sean O’Hair.  To that point in the tournament, O’Hair had played almost flawless golf among a field that was struggling to corral the Bay Hill layout.  Even if it were played at [...]
