Re: US Open
You guys are too much. He had his knee scoped, which means they took out torn cartlidge, it's a same day surgery. They poke 4 tiny holes in your knee and take out the cartlidge and you stop limping after 2 weeks. The only thing funnier is hearing the commentators say he had reconstructive knee surgery. If he had that he would been out for a year minimum. I've had it done 3 times as well as repairing a completely torn ACL on that same knee. Expected time of recovery 3 to 4 weeks and MAXIMUM 6 weeks for someone who would be much older than Tiger and in alot worse shape. In fact many pro athletes in other sports have come back after 3 weeks and we're talking football and hockey players where the strain on your knee is much worse. And you're right I wasn't golfing 8 weeks after, it was hockey 4 weeks after.
The only, and I repeat ONLY after effect of this surgery is swelling and some randon throbbing pain, nothing you do physically could cause it to make you wince in pain because you are not straining anything, nothing has been repaired. You are taking out torn cartilidge. The long term effects are worse in that bone is rubbing against bone in your knee which could cause arthritis when you are older.
If his knee was swollen to the point where it would cause him to wince when he shot, he would be limping the whole time and he would be wincing after every single shot because I doubt the swelling would go up and down from hole to hole. Wincing on the odd shot makes no sense that's why I was skeptical. I initially thought he had a torn ligament repaired but when i read it was a simple scope that's a 45 minute surgery then you get skeptical when you've rested for 8 weeks.
How many shots do you think he took in practice before he played the US open. I would think quite a few, at least in the hundreds, and if he was in that much pain due to swelling there is no way he could walk around the course for 5 days. The funniest part is that Tiger saying that the doctors told him he shouldn't be playing because I like to hear them explain how he is harming his knee further from getting cartlidge removed by playing golf.
You're telling me this "courageous effort" doesn't make for a great story decades from now to cement his reputation. Hell I would ham it up the same way. You win either way. If he loses, it's because of the knee and if he wins then he looks like the bravest athlete on earth. Paul Pierce did the same thing, it's nothing new.
