U.S. Open

The 2008 U.S. Open was, in my opinion, the most remarkable golf tournament in my life. ESPN highlights last year's major in the video below.






I don't think there is any way that we will see this kind of drama again this year, but I would love to be suprised. Tiger is the clear favorite to win again this year, coming off of an impressive victory at The Memorial. He comes into this Open as the defending U.S. Open champion and the definding U.S. Open at Bethpage Black champion (2002). I am looking forward to the fireworks.

Tiger Woods

It's official. Tiger Woods has made his much anticipated return to professional golf...and an earlier than expected exit. Now, people are starting to ask questions. Is he the same Tiger as before? Is his knee really healed? Can he still play at the same level as before? In my opinion, all of these questions are complete nonsense. They guy takes 8 months off to rehab a restructured leg, and the golf world still expects flawless performances. We had to expect some rust in his first appearance. And, he ran into the only guy who didn't made a bogey in the first two days of play! Tiger's swing looks great, and I don't think it is too optimistic to expect an entertaining show at the Masters this April.

All of the good Tiger talk said, if I have to hear him say something about how it feels good "not to have [his] bones moving around" when he swings, I am going to do something serious. Like, blog about how annoyed I am. Tiger, we all know that you are great, nobody else in the world could do what you did 8 months ago, and we can't imagine swinging on a broken leg. Now, quit talking about it and just come back to the PGA and win some more majors.
