In the beyond
Tigers back 9 (holes 1-9) friday.
Tigers back 9 saturday.
In a US Open.
Post-surgery, with a really sore knee.
Not having competed for 10 weeks.
Playing like that and making putts like THAT!
Beyond amazing.

Bob Toski said it best years ago about Tiger- "He's a freak!" |

How come Tiger's knee got less sore as the round went on?
I don't think he fancied the win to begin with but managed to hang on in there.
He's favourite now but I would love to see Rocco beat him by 3 (instead of Tiger winning by ten!) What is the spread?

He got that question in the NBC post-round interview. He said he "took some things to kinda relieve that".

Tiger's knee
I wonder if Tiger has considered turning the left foot out to take some pressure off (torque)? I severely injured my left knee in high school football and have had to play around that injury all of my life. I turn the left foot in varying degrees to take the pressure off the left knee and have been able for the most part to avoid pain.

tough call on this one---I really like both of these guys--Tiger because of what he is doing for the game of golf and how amazing he is, and Rocco because he is a western PA guy. Tiger will get more majors and this is probably Rocco's only chance---so I would like to see Rocco pull it out, but this is David vs Goliath. Then again didn't David..........

Through 8 holes theres only 1 shot in it.
Rocco doing a Trevino and talking non stop seems to be getting on Tiger's nerves - good tactic!!!
I'm supporting the Irishman in this playoff - Rock O'Mediate!!!!!
