Tiger Woods~US Open 2008

What can be said about Tiger Woods? The man is a machine. This past weekend was the US Open in ...... Tiger was on fire even though he has suffering from a painful knee injury. But watching his game it didn't seem to effect his type of play. On so many days of the tournament he would end it in Tiger style. Always exciting, and always when he needed it.
True to form, he came into Sunday in the hunt. And on the 18 hole he sunk a 12 putt to put the tournament into sudden death. Rocky .... and he played the sudden death round on Monday, and this was one to go the distance. After 18 the score was still even up. The way the rules are after the 18 hole sudden death is to play hole by hole until there is a winner. So on the first hole it seemed to be what was going to be a longer afternoon. But Rocky... was starting to show some cracks in his game, and ended the hole with a boogie. Tiger was able to complete the hole true to form, and par the hole. And once again, the Tiger Factor seemed to much for the competition. So this makes Tigers 14 major, 4 behind his hero Jack Nichols most major wins of 18. If Tiger can stay healthy, it will be exciting to watch history in the making. Tiger is a class act, it couldn't happen to a better guy. Go Tiger.
