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.

I think he was more embarrassed by the shot, than it going in tbh. Unless someone has an interview we're both just guessing. Either way, the % chance of any of these "random" things happening in real spots is far far under 1%, and don't really compare to the randomness that is *intentionally* added to WoW.
