David vs Goliath
June 27, 2008 – 2:25 pm
I imagine the conversation went something like this as Tiger called Elin, his supermodel wife.
“Honey, I’m in a playoff tomorrow with Rocco. “Who?” ya know Rocco Mediate. Ive never heard of him but please be home by dinner .
When Tiger Woods goes up against the field there is usually one who hangs in there till the end. The legend was of course started when woods came back to beat Steve Scott to claim his 3rd straight U.S am, followed by Bob May, and countless others.
This one however, was different. Nobody expected a hobbled David to win this one.
Tiger has been a consistent even money choice against the field his entire pro career. At 5/1 David was a longshot. The only reason he wasn’t 100/1 was the stupidity of the public who actually thought David could walk on a golf course for the 1st time in months and win the most treacherous event of all.
I am the degenerate sports gambler. I always have “action” Usually I bet the underdog , but I always bet. My choice for the 08 Open championship didn’t make the cut. Although my rooting interest may have been thwarted, this tournament reminded me that I actually do LOVE sports.
