Two incredible eagle putts on the 13th and 18th holes of the U.S. Open put him in the lead going into the final 18 holes on Sunday, all while playing with a knee problem that would put any mortal golfer on the sidelines.
Next came the opening round of the College World Series with my beloved #8 ranked University of Georgia Bulldogs, taking on the #1 ranked Miami Hurricanes.
In a game that was a nail biter until the very end my Bulldogs upset the #1 ranked team in the country due to some timely hitting and some even more timely errors on the part of the canes. It made me very happy.
Then came Father's day Sunday. I got up wished my dad a happy father's day, ate some breakfast, and watched as Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally win a NASCAR race after 76 tries.
It was at Michigan which is normally a pretty boring race, but this year turned out to be pretty interesting. What made it even more special was the knowledge that my big brother was there to see it. He is a huge Dale Jr. fan.
Finally the creme de la creme. It was time for Tiger to work his magic again. After an absolutely atrocious round of golf, by his standards, he found himself on the 18th green needing to sink a birdie putt to force an 18 hole playoff against Rocco Mediate today. The putt was about an 8 footer with a slight drop to the left. Not a particularly difficult putt for a man with Tiger's skill but clearly not a gimme. It was at this moment that I realized that Tiger Woods does not need the help of the Golfing gods in his rounds, HE IS ONE!
Needless to say he nailed it!
Well that's it for this post. I hope those of you who read it enjoy it as much as I enjoyed watching the things that inspired it.
Til we meet again,
Paul

I watched Tiger and was completely in awe. I couldn't believe some of the things I saw that look impossible for anyone else, but looks easy for him. I was glued to the TV just waiting for him to do something amazing, and he delivered over and over again. Never seen anything quite like that, and he did it all in terrible pain. He is the man!
