      Amateur Proves Her Place at US Open

Maria Jose Uribe, the 18-year-old reigning Amateur champion, finished the first day of the US Women's Open only two strokes off the lead in a tie for fourth place, the Washington Post reports.

      Wear and Tear Could Mean Early Arthritis for Tiger

      (Newser) - Doctors were impressed by Tiger Woods’ US Open win despite recent surgery and obvious pain—but they say the damage could lead to early arthritis that will eventually push him off the green, the AP reports. Next year, “he should be able to get back and compete at the same level," said one expert. "How well he holds up long-term over the next 5 to 10 years, that's what's in doubt.” More »

      Tiger's Absence Sure to Cripple Broadcasters

      (Newser) - It will be a brave new world for televised golf with Tiger Woods out of commission for the summer and fall, and it's not a future networks want to be living in, Golf.com notes. "Let's be realistic here: This news is a punch in the gut," says CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz. Other players get their chance at glory—but audiences will be limited. More »

      Knee Surgery to End Tiger's Season

      (AP) - Tiger Woods will miss the rest of the season because of surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left knee, AP reports—an injury he has dealt with the last 10 months despite winning nine of 12 tournaments. Woods said on his website today he suffered a double stress fracture of his left tibia while preparing to return to the PGA Tour last month, which forced him to miss the Memorial and was the source of his pain at Torrey Pines when he won the US Open.

      The Greatest US Open Ever?

      (Newser) - The 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines will go down as the epic tournament that Tiger Woods won on one leg, writes Pat Forde for ESPN, both because of the spellbinding golf and the characters who shaped the 5-day contest. The champ faced off with the 45-year-old chatterbox in myriad do-or-die situations in a battle that will go down in the history books. More »

      In Tiger's Pain, a More Human Face

      (Newser) - Tiger Woods' putt to force today's US Open playoff was epic, surely, but his 18th-hole heroics weren’t the amazing part about yesterday's performance, Thomas Boswell writes in the Washington Post. Where Jack Nicklaus once transformed before our eyes, Woods is limping, grimacing, and grinding his way into a place "even better than the relationship we had with him before." More »

      Gimp Can't Hold Tiger Back

      (Newser) - Phil Mickelson is out of the picture, and Rocco Mediate doesn't worry Tiger Woods much. For most of the US Open's third round yesterday, Tiger's biggest threat was his own left knee, Golf.com reports. The knee would send his tee shots flaring off the fairway, and then Woods would muster up a spectacular answering shot to secure eagle. More »

      The Real US Open Matchup Is Fan vs. Fan

      (Newser) - Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are as contrasting a pair as Coke and Pepsi, at least in terms of the following each draws, CBS Sportsline reports. The only sound that could drown out the "Mickelsonic boom" that has been following the San Diego native is the roar of excitement Tiger is accustomed to. Can the fan bases coexist this weekend?
