Tiger ROARS!!!

The only shame of another day of Tiger Woods in the U.S. Open is that it's on a Monday and who really can afford the time to sit and watch it?

I didn't, but as soon as I got home from a hospital visit, I clicked on ESPN News to get the highlights and to catch Tiger's post-tournament interview. The guy finally defeated Rocco Mediate in a sudden-death playoff hole after both were tied after 18 holes today.

There was more drama in the U.S. Open this weekend than probably any sporting event I've watched in my entire life (except maybe the 2007 Fiesta Bowl between Boise State and Oklahoma). The last six holes on Saturday were maybe the best sports TV ever. When Tiger eagled 18 to take the lead, it was magical.

Some people root against Tiger Woods, simply because he wins so often. I cheer for him every time he plays, simply because I love seeing the best do what they do best. I enjoy watching athletic excellence. It's not as though golf has teams you support. I like seeing this once-in-a-lifetime athlete come up with once-in-a-lifetime performances.
