I just saw one of the most spectacular performances by an athlete earlier this evening. Tiger Woods recently had a knee surgery. He was visibly in pain when he struck the ball. He is not at his best at all. It looked like he was about to drop out of the US Open.
But just when you think that Tiger Woods is out, the world’s top player finds a way to outdo himself. Despite troublesome knee pain, Tiger made an astonishing eagle on his final hole. This reminds me of Willis Reed’s most famous performance which took place on May 8, 1970, during Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in Madison Square Garden.
Tiger now holds the lead after the third round of the U.S. Open. Absolutely amazing!
I was at Torey Pines but I was at the 16th hole. I missed it.
Willis Reed really didn’t perform that game…just walked on and got a few rebounds and walked off. His teammates got inspired though. Tiger is actually performing with his injury. Big difference.

big deal 😉
Does Susan really remember Willis Reed in 1970. Maybe Kirk Gibson in the ’88 World Series was pretty heroic.

When you pick an example it’s best to have it make some sense.
