Same here. I've got Tiger Woods 06, 07 and 08 on my xbox 360!!!

I fell out of love with golf for a while though.

About 5 or 6 years ago I was playing golf with my younger brother and I was having a nightmare round. I was losing balls in the trees, water and even in the deep rough! I was getting angrier and angrier and this was making me play even worse.

On the 17th I lost the last ball I had and I lost it. I threw my club down and screamed "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh". At that exact moment a bird took a dump on my head and my brother found this hysterical. I stormed off the course and didn't play again for over a year

The US Open starts tomorrow.

Tiger hasn't played for 2 months because of a knee operation. He should play in Torrey Pines but the other golfers may just have a chance!

Tiger has been paired with Phil Mickelson so the crowds following them around will be huge.

Yeah, it's one of those 'in a few years time you'll look back at this and laugh' moments but I wouldn't have believed it at the time!

Not much interest in the US Open then!

Surprise, surprise Tiger emerged victorious. Although Rocco Mediate took him to an 18 hole play off and England's Lee Westwood finished a commendable 3rd.

I liked very much this 19-hole US-Open play-off!! There were some decent shots and the whole atmosphere around it was just superb.
I'm glad Tiger Woods overcame his pain and managed to win it at the end...

I didn't explain that very well did I?

It was an 18 hole playoff but the scores were tied so they had to play an extra hole. I don't remember seeing a play off where they have to play a whole round before - it's usually a few holes or whoever wins the next hole.

I was surprised to see so many people there on the Monday too. I wonder how many people rang in sick to work so they could watch Tiger?

Yeah..something like: Hey, boss. I'm very ill at the moment, but I promise I'll be fully recovered by Tuesday!

The most amazing tournament for me was..I think..British Open several years ago, where French player called..something like Vandevelde has about 4 shots to a credit before the very last hole of the tournament. And he managed to lost all 4 shots on a single hole and then he lost the 4-round play-off.

Truly remarkable game!

Holy Smoke. Tiger is THE best sportsman in the World. He has to be..
2 months after knee surgery...and in obvious pain, he fought like never before
and prevailed....Im not usually mad about golf but Woods is a genius.
