Max throttle + no braking = fell asleep at the wheel, surely.

Sounds like it, unless Tiger 'remembers', we're not likely to hear anymore about it! Hope he can come back to at least play the game he loves in his retirement. Even at half his abilities he should still be competition in the clubhouse! Good Luck to him!

Should be able to do well on the Seniors tour. Didn't Monty make more cash out of that then he ever did on the normal tour?

I'm surprised that Bentley haven't tried to force a change to the logo.





It is kind of similar...

Aston Martin are just as guilty

And Morgan...

They been putting Bentley badges on Chrysler’s because they looked similar...

And Austin:

And Wolseley:

Max throttle would more likely indicate foot hard on the throttle in the mistaken belief that it is the brake pedal. Hard to believe, but a well established cause of accidents. Listen to the Gladwell podcast.

But why, on a very gentle bend, would he be doing a panic move for the brake? Animal, maybe?

would be interesting to see what speeds that 'corner' could be taken at, if I lived in LA i'd drive down it to try and understand what happened

As I understand it, you brake for whatever reason, however gently, but it obviously doesn't work, quite the opposite as you are pressing the accelerator.

Your brain refuses to contemplate that the wrong pedal is being pressed, so you press harder. The car starts going faster, but your brain jumps to the conclusion that the throttle is stuck. Basically your brain gets stuck in a loop. You probably stand a chance in a straight line, but on a corner, only one thing is going to happen.
