Doctors are amazed by the performance of Tiger Woods in last week’s U.S. Open, given the extent of his injuries. Retief Goosen, who finished 14th however, hinted that Tiger exaggerated his injuries, only feeling the pain after bad shots.

First of all, there were plenty of occasions when Tiger winced in pain after drives tha hit the fairway, prompting the announcers to mention that you can’t judge where the shot is going based on Tiger’s reaction.

Second, where did Retief study medicine?

Question:
How do you take all of the suspense out of a major sporting event and irritate your fans - those who have invested 4 days of their time and interest in your sport?

Answer:
An 18-hole playoff at the U.S. Open.

There’s no reason to play another 18 holes that allow 2 participants to separate after you’ve already played 72. The common defense of the 18-hole playoff is “One hole shouldn’t decide the tournament.” That’s lame. It’s not one hole that decides an open in sudden death, it’s 73 or 74 holes. What if we’re tied after 71 holes - does the 72nd hole decide the tournament? Nonsense.

I hope the playoff is a blowout. Maybe they’ll re-evaluate.

You start to run out of adjectives. Why not call the U.S. Open a day early and let the boys gome home for Father’s Day.

Looks like the Tiger faithful will get one more look at Alec Box stadium. Momentum should be in the Tigers’ favor. It will be tough for UC Irvine to regroup and win a game they feel they shouldn’t have allowed themselves to get extended to.
