US OPEN: Well Said, Sobel...

Found this in Jason Sobel's minute-by-minute live blog from the US Open after Round 3. I think he nailed it:

7:13 p.m.: Look, I'm not one to throw out superlatives and when it comes to overemphasizing a Tiger Woods accomplishment as compared with something else he's done in his career, I think we need to be very careful. But the last six holes of today's round may have been the most compelling six rounds of golf in Tiger Woods' career. Not as groundbreaking as the 1997 Masters, not as dominant as the 2000 U.S. Open, not as dramatic as the 2000 PGA Championship. But compelling? Absolutely.

Also can you find me in the picture on the right from #16? I'm wearing my red TW hat and shielding my eyes from the sun.

I think it's lock that "Woodsian", like "Ruthian", will enter the lexicon. I had been hoping for "Ianpoulterian".

hard to argue with that - the combination of amazing, clutch shots, obvious pain, and another guy on the course (Rocco) who has people chanting for him and not Tiger really made this weekend an all-timer.
