How come Tiger's knee got less sore as the round went on?
He got that question in the NBC post-round interview. He said he "took some things to kinda relieve that".

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..........
