This is a picture of a practice putting green at the Westchase Country Club. I will get to the US Open but first about 14+ years ago I was driving a van for a temporary labor pool out of Ybor. One day I took some ladies to work in the kitchen of the club. I noticed some guys trying to put the golf ball on that green. They weren't having too much luck. There were also about 6 birds on the green, I went up to one of the golfers and said boy those birds know where it is safe. If looks could kill I wouldn't be writing this now. That guy had no sense of humor. Now to the open, I am not a big fan of Tiger. Granted it was a great finish. Rocco stayed with him. Here is a guy, 45 years old, giving the greatest player in the world a run for his money. Tiger Woods was in a win win situation, when he won he was supposed to. If he happened to lose, his knee was bothering him. Nice picture of him and his wife in the golf cart. I remember when first turned pro., He signed a 30 million contract with Nike now this is before he hit the first golf ball as a pro. Also the broadcasters keep talking about how much pain he was in, this was when he was behind on the Saturday round. When he made the birdie when the ball bounced once and flew into the hole. Stone luck, he is destined to win. Oh well, he sure is a hell of lot better than I was. I shot a 66 once, but that was on the first hole. UC157, Larry

Not much of a golf fan, but we are watching perhaps the most dominant athlete in any sport ever. he was counted out after first round and came back to win. Mentally, he may be the toughest athlete of all time. Give him his due. When it is all said and done he will have more majors than Jack!!!
