TIGER MISSES CUT DUE TO INJURY

The back injury that forced Tiger to withdraw from the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational came back on Friday during the driving range session he tried to play through it but he could only shoot 3 over,15 shots behind leader Rory McIlroy. Which made him miss the cut for only the 4th time in a major championship as a pro and the 12th time ever. Woods double-bogeyed 6 and his tee shots went into the crowd on 7 and 10.”It was sore. No doubt about it,” Woods said “It went out on me on the range. Just had to play through it.” Wood’s PGA season as over because he only participated in 7 tournaments and will not be eligible for the Fedex cup Playoffs.

TIGER WITHDRAWS AFTER INJURY

Tiger woods hurt his back during the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday and withdrew during the 9th hole. The 14-time major champ said “It happened on the second hole when I hit my second shot, I fell back into the bunker, I just jarred it, and it’s been spasming ever since.” His stance was weird, he basically swung off his right foot and fell back into the bunker. Wood’s caddie said it bothered Woods the whole way. Woods had surgery on March 31st for his back. Wood’s playing partner, Bubba Watson knew something was wrong he said: “He hit some shots that we’re not used to seeing Tiger hit, even when he’s coming back from an injury like this, we don’t see shots like that. So obviously, something was bothering him, and so you could kind of tell something was going on, and then when he hit the shot [on the ninth hole], hit the draw, he probably wasn’t trying to play a draw on 9, and when he came over it like that, his back probably tightened up and caused the draw. Again, like I told him when I shook his hand, I said, ‘I’m praying for you. Hope everything turns out good. Hope to see you next week.”

MY PICK TO WIN TH US OPEN

Phil Mickelson. Mickelson hasn’t won a US open ever even though he’s competed 26, it’s not like he hasn’t been close, he’s finished 2nd 6 times! I am inclined to believe this is his year. “Of those six second-place finishes, five of them, it rained,” he said “So I’m pulling for rain.”
