Re: US Open

Like Tiger was going to lose today. Give me a break. Who knows how badly his knee is hurting. It could be bull****.

You're right, Tiger probably faked it.

Re: US Open

Thats a unusal statement. Should he have dropped the baby????

Not because of Tiger carrying his baby around, but because his baby wants to be by him, which tells me his baby loves him very much. Or it could possibly be Tiger's baby has Tiger's blood in it, where she loves the spotlight.

Re: US Open

That was great. I really feel for Rocco but there's no shame in losing to the greatest player of all time.

Re: US Open

Wow. I left my desk with Tiger down one going to 18 and came back to see the final result. I can't believe Rocco hung in there like that for 5 rounds in a US Open. I would have never believed it if someone told me that last Thursday. Major props to him. If it wasn't Tiger he was going against, I would have rooted hard for him. Tiger is just amazing.

Tiger just always comes up with a way to amaze me. I seriously believe that 99% of us couldn't even swing a golf club with full power if our knee was hurting like his, let alone win a US Open...

Re: US Open

Sorry but I gotta comment on this knee thing. Tiger had his knee scoped 8 weeks ago, something that I have had done several times and in 6 weeks any pain was gone, what remains is swelling if you stay on it too long and any pain I had in the meantime was throbbing random pain that would have nothing to do with physical exertion. While I'm sure he was in discomfort he wouldn't be wincing after a shot because I don't see how it's possible, his knee would be a little swollen, that's it. He got cartilidge taken out it's not like it was a torn ligament. There was an instance where he was in the bunker on Sunday and put all his weight on his left knee to look a the green and no wince at all.

If his knee was as sore as his face showed it to be after, coincedentally, only bad shots there would have been a noticeable limp simply because his knee would have been swollen. If anything Mediate was probably as in much discomfort because he's had terrible back problems.

I don't hate Tiger but he has an ego and it makes for great TV and his ego that he makes it look like he's playing on one leg because it adds to his legend. Similar to Michael Jordan in the finals against Utah where he had the flu but acted like he had the bird flu. If he was as bad as he acted you are not playing more than 10 minutes before you are flat on your back. We have all had a bad flu and you can barely get off the coach and lift your arms yet Jordan plays 40 minutes and is leading scorer. It's embellishing for the camera.

So based on your experiences you've concluded that Tiger's knee should heal exactly like yours? So he was just acting all of those rounds to make it more entertaining? Lol Give me a break. The man is already the greatest golfer of all time, he doesn't need theatrics to secure his legend status.

What a joke. Also how many knee surgery's have you had? Tigers had 3.

Re: US Open

Hahaha... I love how jealous people get of greatness. Some of you are so transparent it's ridiculous.

At any rate, go Tiger!!!

Oh, and HELL YAH he has an ego... Why wouldn't he??? There are almost 7 BILLION people in the world, and he is better than EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM at golf...

You'd have an ego too.

Ummm, no. He had that look on his face a few times after shots that ended up in the fairway.

Re: US Open

I actually dont think Tiger has that big of an ego at all for what he has accomplished. I really think he is the best roll model (sports wise) for todays youth. Also about the knee, the dude just walked, not ride around in a cart, but walked for what? 4 days? You know how long a golf round is and how big a course is?

Re: US Open

I was lucky enough to be there on Sunday and was squeezed underneath the giant scoreboard on 18 when Tiger made his putt. Unbelievable atmosphere.

Seriously. There was a shot on the 18th that went right down the middle of the fairway and he was wincing more than any of those "bad shots." If you're going to try and argue that he was faking, do not say he only winced after bad shots because that just proves you didn't watch a single second of the Open.

I completely agree.
