What a HUGE day for sports in my world. Well, in a lot of people's world I guess. Oh my gosh, I seriously have not left my couch since 1pm...its a wonder my muscles haven't started to atrophy. I woke up this morning in a glorious mood knowing that I had a full day of great golf ahead of me. I called my dad and wished him a happy day, I was sad that I couldn't be there, but the funds just weren't allowing me to spend 4 dollars a gallon on gas to get home, but he is going to help Keaton move down soon so I should see him in the next few weeks. Happy Father's Day Dad!!!
Then I got myself breakfast and played with Lexi and did a little showering and cleaning all while just waiting for the golf tournament to start. I thought 2pm was never going to get here. I hurried and went to Chuy's to get my favorite queso to-go so I would be fed all day while sitting on my glorious couch. And then came home to start the show. I had tivoed the celebrity golf tournament that was on an hour before the actual 4th round started because I wanted to see two of my favorite people try to break 100 on the course at Torrey Pines - Justin Timberlake and Tony Romo. And they did not disappoint. Not at all. Plus it was touching because the contest winner who got to play with them was battling lung cancer and it was a dream of his and so it made me cry every time they showed him swinging the golf club. I am a sucker for sob stories. With the celebrities out of the way and my belly full of queso, it was time to get serious and watch Sunday of the US Open!!
I was so excited about today's round because Tiger just killed it yesterday to end the day in first place and I just knew he was going to come out with a bang today. With his record being unbeatable when he is leading after 54 holes, it wasn't even really a question as to if he was going to win, but really just by how many strokes. I should have known better. He double bogeyed the first hole and bogeyed the second. I was just staring at the TV in complete disbelief. My dad and I are frantically texting back forth about what in the world was going on. We were analyzing everything from the pressure of being in first to his knee hurting. His knee was definitely bothering him, but then he took some pain pills and it was obvious that they helped a lot. Anyway, it was a VERY exciting game and I really thought it was over there towards the end...Tiger just couldn't catch a break and he wasn't playing like his usual self and I thought Rocco Mediate was gonna take it home. And although I enjoy Rocco's smile and attitude on the course, I really really wanted Tiger to win. Dad and I are furiously texting and both thinking that its a lost cause and then comes the 18th hole. Oh my...I was holding my breath and was so nervous and I really didn't think it was going to go in and then...IT DID!!! I literally jumped off my couch and was screaming I was so excited. I immediately called me dad and we celebrated and it was AMAZING!! Tiger did it again!!! He is unbelievable!! I was so happy...I think it is the most important tournament for him to win because of his relationship with his dad and this being Tiger's first Father's Day...awww, it just makes my heart really happy. And the best part is that I have the entire day off tomorrow so I can sit on my couch yet again and watch the incredible playoff and only hope that Tiger has a better game tomorrow than he did today. So exciting!!! I would give anything to be in San Diego right now and be able to be there.
Then I flipped over to the Lakers game and what looked like a blowout in the beginning with the Lakers having a 19 point lead at one point became a down to the wire finish. I really thought the Celtics were gonna come back and take the series, but the Lakers managed to get their second win at home. Now they go back to Boston, but I am pretty sure that the Celtics will take the series at home which is exciting for them I guess. Not so exciting for all Lakers fans. And speaking of Lakers fan...the picture is of the littlest Lakers fan...my 3 year old patient Sara. My little Lakers Girl in her cheerleading uniform. So cute.
So tomorrow I am gonna do lunch with Sarah and Kat - which is going to be hard for me because it is going to be right when Rocco and Tiger tee off, but luckily since it is on the West Coast, it lasts well into the evening and I will be able to come back and catch the back 9 at least. I cannot wait to watch this playoff...its should be so exciting.
Ahhhh...what a great, great Sunday. Seriously.
