US Masters champion Tiger Woods is ready for a run at the Grand Slam after the sensational golfer captured his third Masters crown in impressive fashion. Woods matched both Jack Nicklaus and England's Nick Faldo as the only back-to-back winner of the Masters and is now set for run at the "Tiger Slam", named after his four-major wins last year.
"Well, I have done four in a row before, but it would be nice to do four in a row in the same year. It would be different than how I did it the last time", said Woods. "It would be nice to win as many majors as Jack did. That would be great. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen", added the American.
Woods won the US Open at Pebble Beach last year by 15 strokes, the biggest margin in major golf history, then captured the British Open by eight strokes at St. Andrews and won a PGA Championship playoff to become the first man to hold all four Slam titles at once.
South African Retief Goosen, who finished runner-up to Woods, said besides Jack Nichlaus, Tiger is the best player. "Give him a couple more years and I think Tiger will be even greater than Jack Nicklaus. It's just a matter of time. He's hitting the ball so well and with great imagination", said Goosen.
