TIGER

Bob Ryan talks about the significance of Tiger Woods playing this week's US Open on Father's Day weekend. Woods father passed away May 3rd.

``Father's Day was actually a very cool day because I would always try and beat my dad on the golf course, then come back home and catch the back nine of the US Open," Tiger was telling us yesterday. ``That's usually how it worked when I was growing up."

Keep in mind, of course, that Tiger first beat Earl Woods at 18 holes when he was 11. ``I shot a 71 to his 72 at the Navy golf course," Tiger recalls. ``I birdied 16 and 18, and made about a 15-footer, a little right-to-left. I gave it the fist-pump walking off the green and everything. It went in, and we celebrated."
