Ok, Tiger isn't Soft!

What I saw yesterday at the US OPEN was ridiculous. The shots that Tiger Woods were making weren't real, they were right out of Tiger Woods 08' collectors addition. For those of you that aren't avid golfers or rarely play the game the chances of these putts and chips going in, are about as common as Danica Patrick winning on the IRL circuit. I mean these 60 foot bombs breaking 6 feet down a hill just don't go in for most of us. Not to build Tiger up so much, I don't think he is as hurt as he is acting on the course. Yes I am aware he is hurt and when you swing 130mph it cant feel good on your surgically repaired left knee but all the grimacing for the cameras is getting old fast. I feel like he is truly just trying to build his mystic. Like Ben Hogan has about hitting balls till his hands bleed, or Bobby Jones barely being able to walk up the 18th because of heat exhaustion. WHEN TIGER WINS TODAY, people will talk about the US Open Tiger won on 1 knee for hundreds of years. As for me I am Northwest , Arkansas playing 3 hooters tour events in a row. 71-73 this week just wasn't good enough. Go Celtics!

  I agree about Tiger's knee injury and building his mystic. He's becoming a premadonna in my opinion.
  He only grimaced after a bad shot (an excuse), didn't appear to hurt much coming down the stretch.

  It's amazing how people can be so dismissive about one of the greatest golfers of all time. How many people could've made that putt today?
  
  Everytime someone has an injury that they can't see visibly with their eyes, it immediately becomes invalid or played up. I can only attribute it to displaced anger.

  I like Rocco - he is all class - I loved how he said that it wasn't in him to root for a golfer to miss a putt - you can't be any more of a gentleman than that. Having said that, I'm rooting for the man who makes me want to watch golf.

  Tiger is just to good. I like Rocco, he is a classy guy and not to shabby with the sticks either but unless he catches Tiger on an off day I think it is over.

  We are all watching history in the making. Like him or loathe him, you can't deny the talent that is Tiger. Just when you think that maybe, just maybe there is a chink in the armour, Tiger summons up the intestional fortitude and does something incredible. The problem, however, is he does it on such a regular basis, we expect it. Lee Westwood, an incredible golfer in his own right had all he could do to hang on for dear life the last 3 holes. He made a good up and down from the bunker on the 17th hole to stay in the hunt. As he walked off that green, he was patting his chest as his Heart was racing. Does Tiger's Heart race? If it does, you would never know. The guy is always in the moment.
  Rocco would be a nice feel good story, but, witnessing the writing of the record books truly wets my appetite. I will route hard today for some good golf and the best man to win. When the 2008 US Open is complete, we the viewers will be the real winners. This is as good as it gets!
