It looks like Byron Nelson's streak is still safe for now. Geoff Ogilvy ended Tiger Woods win streak this morning with 11 pars in 11 holes. Ogilvy didn't have a single bogey until the seventh hole of the final round, whereas Tiger struggled a bit on the greens, and just couldn't find the rhythm he wanted, though he still managed to stay near the front of the pack for the entire tournament.

Though Tiger Woods may not have his perfect season that the media was hyping so much (after only three official events, and five total starts), the way he is playing is absolutely phenomenal. In five starts this season, he has four wins and one fifth place finish. Phil Mickelson, second in FedEx Cup points, on the other hand has seven starts, only one of which is a win, one second place, one sixth place, three top 25 finishes and one 128th.

I doubt that this will affect Tiger's confidence at the Masters and he is still favored to win there in a couple weeks. I am still looking to Tiger to put together a season for the record books.
