I'm in Tiger's head
Rory Sabbatini's play this season was overshadowed by his mouth. Before the final round of the Wachovia in May, Sabbatini said he wanted to play with Woods, who went on to shoot 69 to Sabbatini's 74 and win the tournament. The next week at the Players, Sabbatini kept talking, saying he still thought Woods looked "as beatable as ever." Those words came back to haunt him in August when he led Woods by a shot heading into the final round at the Bridgestone Invitational. Woods shot 65 to Sabbatini's 74 and won the tournament by eight shots.

Sabbatini was one of six players mathematically able to win the FedEx Cup heading into the Tour Championship, but once again Woods took the victory. Sabbatini finished fourth in the standings.
