Adam ScottAt 8:06 a.m. local time, the worlds top three golfers will tee off in the 108th U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. That would be Eldrick Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott.
And these elite golf warriors are playing hurt.
In case youve just returned from another galaxy, Tiger is recovering from surgery No. 3 on his left knee. Despite more knee speculation than Ping has putters, Woods says hes ready to rumble.
I'm good to go, Tiger said on Tuesday. I plan on playing competitive. Come game time on Thursday I'll be ready.
Not to be outdone, Adam Scott also has an injury. The Australian star broke his right pinkie finger several weeks ago. No worries, mate. Adam is up to this weeks task.
Broken finger wont stop Adam Scott, announced The Sydney Morning Herald. (But hell have to lay off pinkie wrestling for a while.)
And Phil? Hes an inch taller, in case you havent heard. Its all that stretching hes been doing. I know, I know - its not an injury. But the unplanned growth did cause Lefty to go to a 37-inch putter.
How does that factor into Mickelson's game and U.S. Open chances? I havent a clue.
