ARMCHAIR GOLF recently caught up with Tigers Left Knee during a break between practice sessions.
Q: In Mondays conference call, Tiger said, I feel like I'm getting there. Hopefully, it'll be close to 100%. If not, no big deal.
LEFT KNEE: Yeah, I know. I was there.
Q: Is there anything you would like to add?
LEFT KNEE: Nope.
Q: Do you agree with the no big deal part?
LEFT KNEE: Next question, please.
Q: What do you think of Torrey Pines?
LEFT KNEE: Love Torrey. Love it. Tiger and I have played there since he was a tyke. Absolutely gorgeous place. Of course, it looks different to me.
Q: How so?
LEFT KNEE: Im a lot closer to the ground. Its a whole different vantage point.
Q: Got it.
LEFT KNEE: Still, a great place for me. The terrain is not real up and down, so thats good, especially coming off surgery.
Q: Whats your biggest concern going into next week?
LEFT KNEE: I want Tiger to play well, of course. Were so due to win a U.S. Open, and I dont want anyone to think Im holding him back from his goals.
Q: Anything else?
LEFT KNEE: I hope we can stay out of that insane U.S. Open rough. Thats probably my biggest personal fear. I mean, when Tiger goes after it in the rough, hide the women and children.
Q: Does it hurt?
LEFT KNEE: Does Titleist make golf balls?
Q: Understand.
LEFT KNEE: Anyway, maybe Stevie will encourage Tiger to keep the driver in the bag a little more than usual so we can keep our dimpled friend on the short grass most of the time.
Q: How are we on time?
LEFT KNEE: I gotta go. Were working on the short game this afternoon, which I enjoy much more than those 124 M.P.H. swings on the practice tee. Lot less stress on me, if you know what I mean.
Q: Thanks, and best of luck next week.
LEFT KNEE: Yep. Well see what happens.
