Posted: June 18th, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: Sports | CommentsI promise this will be my last post about Tiger Woods for a while - today Tiger Woods announced he will have season-ending knee surgery to repair a ruptured left ACL. He hurt it jogging after the British Open last year. Since the injury, he hasn’t done too bad:

Sweet Jesus. Oh yeah, and that last one, the U.S. Open? He had a double fracture in his tibia as well. You couldn’t write this. And people ask why I am such a big fan of Tiger Woods…

Just Do It

Tiger Woods never ceases to amaze me. Overall, he played poorly today, and not just because of his bum knee. He made both physical and mental mistakes that he normally doesn’t make. But once again, it didn’t matter. Tiger is Tiger because when he absolutely has to make it happen, he WILLS IT IN. Wow. An hour later, I am still in awe. As much as I like Rocco Mediate, I hope Tiger trounces him tomorrow. Win or lose, Tiger’s back nine yesterday and the final hole today will go down in history. What a Father’s Day!
