Tiger Woods?
Tiger is a great putter, has excellent distance control with his Irons, and can get it up-and-down from the ball washer. But a great swing? Hardly. The guy barely finds 50% of the fairways, and often has to fall back on Irons or a 5 Wood to keep it on the short grass (Hoylake, Southern Hills, etc., etc.).
Adam Scott? Good grief!
