SAVOY — Brad Underwood wanted to golf Monday. But his balky knee, the one that needs arthroscopic surgery, wouldn't allow it.

"I'm having some (work) done," Underwood said. "We'll have to tough it out and get through it. I've got some cartilage damage, bone on bone. We'll try to prolong a knee replacement."

The injury goes back to his time on the court.

"That just means we're getting old," Underwood said.

Underwood is dealing with the pain. He has the knee treated a couple of times a day.

"Walking is not the most comfortable thing in the world," Underwood said.
