Injured Woods out for the season

Woods played through the pain at Torrey Pines
US Open champion Tiger Woods will miss the rest of the season to undergo surgery on his injured left knee.

That means Woods is ruled out of the Open at Royal Birkdale, the Ryder Cup and USPGA Championship.

"It was important to me that I disclose my condition publicly at an appropriate time," Woods said on his website.

"Now, it is clear that the right thing to do is listen to my doctors, follow though with this surgery, and focus my attention on rehabilitating my knee."

The website also stated that Woods needed time to recover from a double stress fracture in his leg which were "attributed to Woods' intense rehabilitation and preparations for the US Open".

So basically he won the open with 1 leg.

No I watched it (apart from the very last hole), he definately had two legs.

You know what I meant.

I read somewhere today that Retief Goosen has accused Tiger of feigning injury. Apparently, he only winced in pain on his bad shots although Tiger pulling out of this years Open due to surgery hasn't helped Goosens claims.

Booooooo.

Shame for the golfing world for the rest of the year, double shame for me as i'm off to my first Open at Birkdale and was hoping to catch a glimpse of Tiger. Guess i'll have to just enjoy Monty winning his first Ope..............whooosh.........flying pigs, now that doesn't happen very often........
