The 72 holes of the US Open playoff set the whole world on fire, as Tiger Woods was not sure he could make it. This happened due to his left knee injury which gave him troubles. Nevertheless, he managed sinking a birdie putt on the 18th green, thus forcing a playoff against Rocco Mediate during the fourth round of the US Open championship which is ongoing these days. Earl Woods, Tiger’s father said he was so proud of his son’s toughness of mind. It is not so easy to overcome pain, you know.

This birdie of Tiger Woodws concluded the difficult week in which he played the first two rounds with Phil Mickelson, shot 30 on his back nine Friday to get into contention, took the 54-hole lead Saturday with two eagle putts totaling 100 feet, and wobbled on his surgically repaired knee which hurt him a lot every now and then, especially on the most important moments of the game, when concentration would have been the crucial thing to do in order to manage to execute those difficult putts.

Well, I suppose that at 45 years of age, Woods has nothing more to lose, so we expect him to force a victory in this US Open playoff. For those of you who may not know, Tiger Woods was about to go for retirement not very long ago, due to health issues. He’s changed his mind, but I think we should enjoy his performance as we see it now, because tomorrow it may be gone, with his retirement.
