UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – For nostalgic types, today is an anniversary worth noting.
Seven years ago today, Tiger Woods beat a guy named Rocco to win his 14th major and third U.S. Open title. Maybe it’s more compelling that Tiger’s one-legged effort at Torrey Pines was also the last time he hoisted Grand Slam glory, as well as the last time the U.S. Golf Association held its national championship on a seaside West Coast municipal layout.
Not that Woods was in a nostalgic mood when he spoke with the media on Tuesday at Chambers Bay.
