The Tiger Woods Magic Show at the U.S. Open
The morning after, I am still marveling at the performance Tiger Woods put on yesterday. The best description I have is that it was sort of like magic.
Who can believe that, within 1 hour, the same golfer (who was hobbling up the fairway with his driver as a cane) would proceed to eagle 2 holes -- with miraculous bombs of 65 + 35 plus feet, with side winding, downhill breaks of some 10 and 5 feet!! Houdini.
The first eagle came on the same hole that Phil Mickelson took a quadruple bogey and Ernie Els took a bogey.
And then, to top it all off, Tiger throws in a birdie chip in from the rough on 17, which even he admitted he hit too hard and was just lucky to go in on the bounce!
Had Tiger made just 1 of those shots or putts yesterday, it would have been spectacular. The fact that he made all 3 of those incredible shots within the span of about 1 hour is testament to how amazing the guy is. He never ceases to amaze.

Mulligan, you captured it all quite eloquently in your post, so not much to say.
Any thoughts on what all the stress and wear will do to Tiger's knee after the US Open? Is it just irritated, or will this have lasting consequences??
I'm hoping for at least another 5-7 years of Tiger on tour (healthy).
For anyone who has not viewed him at a tournament in person, you are selling yourself short. He is history being written in front of us and I take every opportunity to see him live.
There are no words. Wishing him all the best...
