So I guess it's true after all, anything is possible. I refer of course to the comments that Stephen Ames made prior to his World Match Play match earlier this year against Tiger Woods, a match in which he was most definitely trounced. Ames won the Players Championship today and one would have to admit that this indicates he was able to bounce back from the "lesson" that the much younger Woods was able to teach him.
Honestly, I thought that whole thing was silly when it happened and, as they are known to do (especially when Tiger is involved), the media managed to make a bit of a mountain out of a mole hill. While he probably didn't put things as eloquently as some of the more seasoned members of the media tent, the fact is Ames was right. Anything can happen, especially in the game of golf, and even more especially in match play. Sure, Ames' comments lit a fire under Tiger the likes of which probably haven't been seen before or since, but it's also a fact that Tiger got knocked out of the Match Play a couple of days later. Anything is possible. UConn got beat by George Mason. Anything is possible. In sports and in life, anything is possible.
