Hi, hi, Well he wins when he's well, and he wins when he is in pain. At the U. S. Open, this past weekend, Tiger Woods won again. Tiger is just an amazing sportsman, he is on a track by himself, he doesn't give up, and it didn't matter if his
knee was giving him pain all day, he just kept going forward, making shots that seem impossible sometimes. Out of bunkers, out of the rough, from between trees, you name it he figures it out. The match on Sunday, and the 18 hole playoff
on Monday, were something to watch. It should be said, that Rocco Mediate gave Tiger a tough run for his money. Rocco had a chance during the game on Sunday to win, but Tiger pulled out his magic talent and tied Rocco, to take the tournament into an 18 hole playoff, on Monday.
Rocco was three strokes down at one point during the playoff, and it appeared as if it was over.
Tiger stumbled, missing some shots, making bad shots, and allowed Rocco, to tie him, after being 3 strokes up. In the end it came down to Tiger making his shot to extend the playoff to the next hole, he made it, but Rocco missed his putt and Tiger won the game, in suddden death.
Tiger is only 4 away from tieing Jack Nicklaus'
record for the most wins on the PGA tournament.
They played at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California for the first time. It was an excellently played match by both men, for the championship. The real capoff after the game, for the championship, occurred when Tiger's wife bought their little girl, out on the course to see him, he hugged his daughter, and gave her back to her mother, but the little girl pulled away from her mother's arms and reached for her father, she wanted to go with him. It was a great scene, being that Father's day was on Sunday. Tiger had the biggest smile on his face.
It is clear that, he is in a good place. Go Tiger, go.
