Tiger does it again........

If I could be Tiger Woods for ONE round of golf in my life (hell, for one HOLE of golf) I would be utterly amazed.  He went into the final hole of the U.S. Championship today NEEDING to birdie in order to force a tie.  His tee shot was right into a bunker, his second shot was right into the rough, but then he laid down a nice third shot and sunk a moderately lengthed putt for birdie to tie it.  Amazing. 

I LOVE golfing and spend more hours on that sport than just about anything else in life, yet I am not even a pube in the yes of Tiger with regards to talent.  Simply stunning.

I don't play golf. I will watch tourney's on TV though. Today was a great tournament. What a crazy day for Tiger.

So they have to play 18 holes tomorrow? That is a big playoff...crazy

RTSDaddy2:
...and if you missed it there's no way to describe what you missed, though these two folk have done a good job.  Here's this pro wincing through every shot off the tee, so much so that he's holding his side by holes 17 and 18....and yet he drops that birdie putt to force a playoff.

Credit where it's due though - Rocco Mediate was the picture of grace, humor, and good sportsmanship (even though he may have felt totally differently) in front of the camera as the reporters asked ridiculous question after question about how he felt watching this play out.  I knew nothing about Mediate before today...and the reactions at 18 told me plenty about both men.  Rather pointedly, they're in a league all their own.



Donkey_Kong:
What gets me is how excited Tiger is about going another 18 HOLES with the pain...  ???

Whatever it takes to win i guess. Pretty cool!

Saturday was even more amazing.  Those eagles he made were out of this world.  Tiger seemed as surprised as anyone when the chip on 17 hit the pin and dropped.

Rocco has been pretty impressive.  Even his comments Saturday about Tiger were very respectful.  I really like that he did not lie down after Tiger's performance Saturday.  I'm rooting for Tiger but will be happy for Rocco if he ends up winning.
