07:31 AM ET 04.02 | Greg Norman thinks Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are equal in every category, except when it comes to Woods' ability to sink long putts under pressure. "Tiger Woods, to me, is the best clutch putter I've ever seen in the game of golf," said Norman, who's playing in this week's Shell Houston Open. "I think Tiger's got him on the mental edge and Tiger has got him outside nine feet. That would be my assessment of the two." Woods sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole at Bay Hill last Sunday to beat Sean O'Hair. Norman, the world's No. 1 player for 331 weeks between 1986-98, said only Jack Nicklaus rivals Woods when it comes to sinking putts when they matter most. "I think he and Nicklaus are equal inside 6 feet," Norman said. "Outside 9 feet, Woods is by far the best you've ever seen play the game." Norman shared a dais with Fred Couples in a wide-ranging interview session at Redstone on Wednesday. The two will captain the opposing teams in the Presidents' Cup in October.
