Goodbye, Tiger

June
22

For moment there on the 14th hole, as Tiger Woods rolled in a 5-footer for birdie, you thought the worlds best player was about to make a charge at the U.S. Open. But a bogey on No. 15 and a missed birdie attempt on 16 has pretty much kept Tiger out of contention.

He’s even par entering the final two holes, five strokes back of the lead and in a tie for seventh. There’s almost no way the six golfers ahead of him all collapse, especially not with Mike Weir and Mickelson in the discussion.

No Tiger defense of the title.
