Like most of us, we have jobs. For those of us who are lucky enough to have talent, and “work” at a job that utilizes that talent, is a true blessing.

John Daly’s job (same as Tiger’s) is to play golf and compete in tournaments. We all know Tiger’s attitude towards the game, he is out to WIN, every time he plays.

John on the other had, has talent (he has won Two Majors, British Open in 95, and PGA Championship in 91), but he doesn’t work hard at his job.

My dislike of John is his un-professional attitude towards his job!!

As for Tiger, risking injury and plying in the 2008 US Open. There are many, many comments and opinions on this topic. My view of it is this.
1. Torrey Pines, like Beth Page Black, are unique US OPEN venues because they are Public golf courses.
2. Beth Page has held US Open in the past; this is the FIRST time for Torrey Pines.
3. Tiger’s first “real golf course” experience when he was 10, was at Torrey Pines with his Father.
4. The U.S. Open is not scheduled to return to Torrey Pines, at least not before 2015.
5. This is his first US OPEN as a father, as we know US OPEN ends (supposed to) on Father’s Day Sundays.

All these “reasons”, I believe, is why Mr. Woods risked it all, and put on the BEST performance of a US OPEN win. As most professional Athletes would tell you, no matter how Super Bowls, World Series, Grand Prix, Tour De France they have won in their life time, there is one, and ONLY one, that they will remember the most.

Tiger “chose” to make 2008 US Open his best memory (for now), at the risk of not playing the rest of the year (or maybe even longer). I believe he made the right choice.

By the way, this is not the first time John Daly finished a tournament dead last.
