      Woods Wins US Open on 19th Hole

      (Newser) - With a throbbing knee and a pounding heart, Tiger Woods made one last improbable escape Monday and won the U.S. Open in a 19-hole playoff over Rocco Mediate, his 14th career major and maybe the most amazing of them all. One shot behind on the 18th hole after a collapse no one saw coming, Woods birdied the 18th hole to force sudden death at Torrey Pines against a 45-year-old with a creaky back who simply wouldn't go away.

      Gimp Can't Hold Tiger Back

      (Newser) - Phil Mickelson is out of the picture, and Rocco Mediate doesn't worry Tiger Woods much.
