CARY - Matching or breaking the record for career Major titles might just be a bridge too far for Tiger Woods, said his former mentor Mark O'Meara, who nevertheless hoped Woods will prove him wrong.

"Do I think he's going to catch Jack's record? Personally, I don't, but I'd love to see it happen, love to see him win another Major, get to 16. But three more Majors, with the competition as stiff and as good as these players are, it's going to be very difficult," O'Meara told Reuters recently. O'Meara, whose career overlapped with that of both Nicklaus and Woods, said the two had several traits in common, not least that they hit the ball further in their prime than pretty much all of their rivals.

"The length that Jack had was a big advantage. Now there are 40-50 guys who hit it past Tiger, so he doesn't have that advantage anymore. He's still powerful but everyone's powerful out there."
