Brilliant to see Tiger make it through 72 holes, now wrap him in cotton wool until the open :)

How much damage has he done to himself though - he didn’t look right at all and just seemed to look worse as the four days went on - adrenaline got him over the cut line

TOC not a tough walk but I hope he can make it - might well be his last

Yep, some effort to complete 72 holes with a leg sponsored by Mecano. Hopefully he can recover some fitness and his pain eases and he is able to play some more events.

Do you think he'll play anymore until St Andrews? Looked to struggle big time. I guess if the tour has some easy walking courses he may play but I think he'll rest and look to the Open and then call it a day. Why put yourself through pain every event and not compete? He has nothing left to prove

Rory starting his usual last day charge to back door into a top 5 finish.
His driving is absolutely nuts. 343 carry on 2 and then drives the green on 3.
It's known as a McSunday and there are two types. The one where he is totally out of contention and storms up the leader board for a top ten finish, and the one where he starts in the lead but tumbles down the leaderboard for a top ten finish.
And he also wins occasionally.

I guess he is the same as many professional sports stars. The thought of finally calling it a day is scary as hell. Most have no choice but to give up, as they are so much worse than their peers. Pretty much any professional golfer at 47, who had been what Tiger has been through, would have had no choice but to call it a day a long time ago. His ability still allows him to compete (I.e. at least post good rounds and make cuts).

But, his leg may well be the best it will ever be. And the fact it hurts like hell as the rounds progress, may make it difficult for him to challenge for another win (but I hope not). So, maybe retirement could soon become a consideration. However, nice to hear him say he wants to play the Open, and St Andrews is his favourite course in the world.
