Did you watch the U.S. Open this weekend? If you did, ,then you saw the spectacular battle between Rocco and Tiger! 91 holes of golf later and Tiger is the 2008 U.S. Open Champion. It was phenomenal.
I just can't believe he did it all on a bad knee, yet he never managed to show a wince of pain until he came up and over that bunker...
He seems invincible, he shows no fear, he makes golfing look like the easiest sport in the world...but this weekend I got to see a softer side of a man who frequently appears on the big screen in my house.
I admire Tiger Woods, I think he is a fantastic golfer and has really redefined what dedication looks like in an athlete. But even more then that, I admire how much of his heart is displayed for the world to see and how humble he is as a person and a golfer.
His relationship with his father was priceless and heartwarming...his daughter not wanting anything but to be held by her father after his sweet U.S. Open victory....and his display that he is only human, that he feels pain, he hears lies saying "you'll never do it, you're knee won't make it, just quit, leave now..." Tiger Woods. God created him to be a great golfer, a fantastic competitor, and a display of where a strong mentality can take you and what it can help you overcome.

Definitely one of the greatest golf tournaments I've ever watched. I love Tiger Woods. Every time I watch him play golf I know that I could witness something special. That's a pretty cool aura to have about you.
Did you see the new Nike ad with him and his dad? You'd love it.
