Despite missing playoff by one stroke, Brit leaves Torrey riding wave of confidence
Sorry, Westy,” Tiger Woods said to Lee Westwood, patting him on the back as they passed each other Sunday evening near the interview podium behind the 18th green at Torrey Pines. While Woods went off to prepare for his Monday playoff, Westwood was whisked away by his manager Chubby Chandler, who had a helicopter on standby to take him to the airport for his flight home to England.
“Tiger is amazing,” Westwood said. “He is obviously struggling with his knee, but he still finds a way to get it ’round.”
While Westwood matched Tiger on Sunday with a 73, he fell one shot short of the playoff with Woods and Rocco Mediate. That would be a potentially crushing disappointment for many golfers. But not for Westwood. The 35-year-old’s third-place Open finish is a major step forward in a remarkable comeback.
“I feel a bit sick not to make the playoff,” Westwood said Sunday, “but my performance this week shows me that I can win a major. And I am delighted with how my short game held up under pressure, and I am pleased with myself. I felt pretty calm out there, a little bit nervous, a few butterflies, but I thought I stuck in there well. It is just very fine margins. (more…)
It was ten seconds that shook the Open. That’s how long it took for an eagle putt by Tiger Woods to traverse the 75 feet or so from the back of the 13th green to the bottom of the cup. The eagle propelled Tiger back into red numbers — players roosting there were an endangered species Saturday at Torrey Pines — and announced what we already knew: Woods isn’t giving up his dance with destiny without a fight to the last.
That roar was one that may live forever in Torrey Pines history, at least if Woods goes on to win the U.S. Open. Then again, it was nearly matched within the hour when Woods lofted a high pitch from left of the 17th green and watched it one-bounce into the cup for birdie. As another thunderous roar erupted from an electrified gallery, Woods grinned with his head down. It may yet prove to be a significant shot in historical terms but it was a fortunate accident and Woods acknowledged that. “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” he said later. “I was thinking, don’t make a 6, and I made a 3.”
If that wasn’t enough, there was the little matter of a 40-foot eagle putt on the last green, a stroke of genius that gave Woods the lead by himself heading into the final round. Another stunning turn, another raucous ovation, another Tiger miracle. If you don’t believe in destiny after those three shots Saturday, you’d better reconsider.
Though Rocco Mediate held the Open lead for most of the third round, Saturday ultimately belonged to Woods, who flat-out hijacked the tournament over the last six holes with two eagles and a birdie for a one-under-par 70.
As if his play wasn’t dramatic enough, Woods added a human element to the drama, too. He struggled after that galvanizing eagle at the 13th hole, flinching on his surgically repaired left knee and flaring several tee shots down the stretch because of it. After a painful miss on the 17th tee, Woods hobbled in a small circle before limping down the fairway. (more…)
