Tiger’s done… and gone

June
22

Tiger Woods finished the U.S. Open today at even par. Following a quick interview session, he got into a car and left Bethpage Black.

Woods was clearly frustrated by the way his round went, especially since the leaders tripped over eachother and left an opening for him. Usually, he roars through. Today, though, not enough putts fell for him to make a run.

He also might not want to have witness Phil winning the Open. Yes, it’s going to happen. That second shot on the par-5 13th confirmed that this is simply his weekend. Given what’s gone on in his life of late, you can’t help but root for him. By the way, almost every single person here IS rooting for him.

So Tiger is gone. No Bethpage repeat, no back-to-back Open titles.
