He always shows up to play

An excellent column from John Feinstein about Tiger Woods and the U.S. Open.

Feinstein gets off a couple of great lines and some valid criticisms, too — among them, you DON’T throw clubs.

Thanks to Jill for the pointer.

  2. What I said about the ending at my blog:

    Sudden-death playoff. Woods wins.

    But everyone gained an immense amount of respect for Mediate. The 158th-ranked player in the world stood toe to toe to Woods for 18 holes Monday. Sure, Woods’ knee was aching and obviously troubling him — but this is the man with 13 majors. He is undeniably the best golfer in the planet and well on his way to being undeniably the best golfer ever.

    And Mediate played next to him and, unlike so many others, never blinked. In the end, he just wasn’t as good as Tiger Woods. But Mediate shouldn’t feel bad — no one else on the planet is either.
