Is this guy’s life scripted?

June

Tiger Woods did it again … even when he didnâ€™t have an overall good day.

I still can’t get over the birdie foot he curled in on the final hole to force a Monday playoff with Rocco Mediate (I liked the new double fist pump that drew as well). On top of that, did anyone notice the Nike commercial NBC showed right before he drained the putt? The one where his father, Earl, is narrating about how mentally tough Tiger is. Then they come back and he does that. It’s almost like the whole thing is staged. Absolutely incredible.

He clearly wasn’t sharp today, not even mentally with some of his club choices. But in the end, he still has a chance tomorrow. And for us golf nuts, we get another day of U.S. Open coverage and Johnny Miller commentary.

As for Andrew Svoboda, he didn’t have his best day. A 7-over 78 dropped him from a tie for 46th to a tie for 71st… Still, just making his first cut at a major should give him a big confidence boost.
