That's pushing it a bit. I've hit the 150 yard marker with a perfect drive down the fairway, only to see the ball go 90 degrees into the rough. I'm a long hitter, and when I'm playing regularily I'll stripe it down the fairway as consitently as anyone, but hitting a 2 inch wide stake in the center of a fairway is nothing to do with skill, it's dumb luck (in this case bad dumb luck).
While Tiger's "skill" allowed him to get close to the pin, it's dumb luck that it happened to go right where it did (especially considering the lie), and let's face it Tiger
knew it was dumb luck, just look at his reaction. He was practically embarrassed by it.
