There is probably not a soul in India, who is not aware of Tendulkar's celebrated 100 hundreds, and now on the eve of the 76th Masters at the other end of the globe, the golfing fraternity begins to await Tiger's century.

Indians know all about the crawl and the 370 days it took Tendulkar to move from 99 to 100. Impeccable as he is, Tendulkar had no problems on the personal front, but on the cricket field a century seemed to elude him.

He came close on many times, but was thwarted when in sight of it more than a few times over a period of a little more than a year.

 

Well it's not been easy for Tiger either. In the golf world, where tournaments are held every week, Tiger, who won almost as a matter of right, too, has had his crawl.

His title No. 97 came in November 2009 and then title No. 98 came in December 2011. Win no. 99 happened last week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay hill and today he will tee off for the first time in his quest for Title No. 100. MORE PTI Cor ATK
