He's done it again folks! When Tiger made that 15 foot put on 18 during the final round of the US Open to take the Open into playoffs, I literally jumped out of my sofa and screamed with joy (no one was home). He was still recovering from his knee surgery, and this was his first time playing since his surgery. He faced Rocco Mediate in an 18-hole playoff that went on for an additional sudden death hole... Tiger pulled through with clutch shots and extraordinary putts. Down by 1 stroke moving onto the 18th hole of the playoff, Tiger clinches the birdie for the second day in a row to take Rocco for one more hole... Sudden Death! And "suddenly" Rocco couldn't hold his ground and hit two bad shots. Tiger kept focus and parred out, while Rocco bogeyd.
Is Tiger Woods the greatest athlete of our time? My opinion: YES. There is no match for his ability as a golfer... and there is no match for the clutchness of any sport. Just as Michael Phelps was born to be a swimmer, Tiger Woods was born to be the greatest golfer to ever walk on grass... and possibly the greatest athlete to ever compete.
Congrats Tiger!
