Coral.co.uk has great odds for all UK sportsbetting including some international events like golf and many others, you could even bet on melbourne cup in Australia!He may not have broken Jack Nicklaus’ major wins record yet but over the weekend Tiger Woods proved why he is the best player ever to play the game of Golf.
His 14th major title was probably his best ever. Granted he has won by more shots and played better in the past but his sheer relentlessness was alone staggering. But over all that the factor that makes this a truly great victory was the fact he’d hardly picked up a club in nearly two months. www.coral.co.uk
It was surgery to his knee that prevented a proper preparation to this event, an interruption that would have seen most pro golfers come into the event struggling to make it to the weekend. Tiger’s face was often contorted with pain but some how he managed to continue and score well.
It will be a tournament long remembered for other reason’s too. Namely his unlikely rival Rocco Mediate, who took the word’s best golfer to a 19 hole playoff. The likeable 45-year-old won a lot of heart’s as his relaxed attitude and general warm persona radiated around Torre Pines as he laughed and joked with fans has he went round. He even managed a joke as the title slipped away from his grasp.
Lee Westwood will have fond memories of the US Open 2008 as well. The Englishman just one shot away from being part of the playoff. But the event belonged to the Tiger who can break Jack’s coral.co.uk record in the next twelve months.
