CBS Sports put this on their site earlier today.  I think it was like this for at least two hours before they changed it.  Ernie Els was the actual winner as Adam Scott bogied the last four holes.  Think they jumped the gun a little?

I'm thinking "Second Wind" has more meaning than one for CBS Sports.

How do you make that mistake? especially by specifically stating that Woods was six shots off?

I think these news writers try to write as much as they can before they go live.  I think they try to predict final results, then change them just before they "print".  Maybe they have 5 versions of the same story and when final results are in they go live.  This person obviously had a lot of things wrong with this version of the story.  It's not like it went to print or anything, only a few of us online saw the mistake.
