U.S. Open and Tiger Woods

[Vezna31]

Is there any doubt that the greatest golfer of all time is Tiger Woods?  I saw the entire playoff round Monday morning/afternoon and was riveted to the TV.  Just the simple fact that he came back to tie it on Sunday to force the playoff after coming back from recovering from surgery is incredible and then you have this article today:

To be that injured and still win 5 out of 7 tournaments just goes to show how awesome he is.  It is so cool to see these kinds of athletes in sports today.  They look almost super-human.

I just heard that he is done for the rest of the year.

from ESPN:

Tiger Woods has decided to have surgery on his left knee, which will end his 2008 season. 
Woods said on his Web site that he will have surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament. He also wrote that he needs time to rehabilitate a double stress fracture of his left tibia, which he said was discovered just before the Memorial Tournament in late May.

And he revealed that he originally ruptured the ACL in 2007 while running at his home in Orlando after the British Open. He said he decided not to have surgery at that point, and he went on to win five of the next six events he entered (through his Target World Challenge in December).

Woods said no date has been determined for the surgery.

Maybe it was the stress fracture that was hurting more than the ACL.
