Tiger Woods won the Memorial in Ohio this weekend.

Lots of good candidates this weekend for the Grape Nuts Got it Done Award. Roger Federer, Tony Stewart, Kent Desormeaux, US soccer, the Lakers and our own Patrick "Seton" O'Connor were in the mix.
But Dan had to go with Tiger Woods, who won his first tournament since coming back from knee surgery. Dan thinks Tiger proving he's back was more than enough to secure him the honor.
Here's how it went down in Dublin, Ohio:
No one ever doubted Tiger Woods' heart or his head, although there were some lingering whispers about his rebuilt knee.
Now even those have evaporated.
Adding to his lore with birdies on three of the last four holes - not to mention a highlight-reel chip-in for eagle a few holes earlier - Woods climbed out of a four-way tie with a 7-under 65 to win the Memorial Tournament on Sunday. It was a record fourth time he had won the event created by his idol and measuring stick, Jack Nicklaus.
``Tiger Woods is always Tiger Woods,'' said runner-up Jim Furyk, who finished alone in second, a shot back. ``He can't be 100 percent every week. But I'm sure he answered a lot of questions today.'' |
