Sudden Death!!!

What a CRAZY day for golf!! I thought yesterday was a little insane with the tying putt at 18 to send it into a playoff, but today was even crazier. Tiger held the lead for most of the day and then just let it slip away, but managed to birdie 18 and force Rocco to make a par and then it went into SUDDEN DEATH!! That is soooo crazy. I dont think I have ever watched a sudden death golf match, and I am not sure I ever want to again. I seriously could not breathe. I was way too nervous to ever have to watch that sort of thing again. I was so happy that Tiger won, but then of course I got girly and felt really bad for Rocco. He just seems so sweet and likable and just so jolly...so genuinely happy to be playing and so I felt bad that he went through all of that and then had to walk away with second place. I am sure he was thrilled regardless...his world ranking went from 158th to 47th just after this one tournament. Its probably a good thing that its finally over though because I have done absolutely nothing for the past 3 days while watching the US Open.

Well, that isn't true...I haven't been completely useless. I had a lunch date with Sarah and Kathryn, but I was having a hard time focusing because I kept hoping to be able to make it back to my house to see the end of the playoff round!! I was getting texts keeping me updated which was amazing, but almost worse because then I just knew that Tiger was up and then tied and then down and I wasn't sure what was going on and I needed to be watching it!!! Ahhh!! But lunch with my girls was great, per usual. I cannot believe that Sarah is moving on Monday. What are we going to do without her here?? I don't think it is going to set in for any of us until she is actually gone for a while. Stupid Alabama. After lunch we ran to Restoration Hardware because she needed to return something and then I drove like a maniac to get home so I could see what was happening with Tiger and Rocco. I made it home for the 17th hole and then was able to watch the rest of it until the trophy ceremony. Seriously...so happy.

But seriously...sooo good its over. I need to get off this couch and move on with my life. Tomorrow I am getting up and babysitting for Susan's kids for a couple of hours and then hitting the road to Ft. Worth. I am actually really excited to go there for the night. I am going to get to see my friend Adam from college who I haven't seen in years and who is so great, so I think that will be so fun. We are gonna grab dinner and then meet up with Lindsay and Allison and maybe go out for a little bit in Ft. Worth. I am excited to see Lindsay too, I am disappointed we didn't get to spend the weekend together at Bonnaroo, so it will be fun to hang out for a little bit in person. Plus...I get to get my pillow back!! Finally!! It has been at least 3 weeks and I really need that amazing pillow back. So, all good things to come out of the day then. Mainly that I won't be sitting on my couch all day again. Phew. And maybe I will have something more exciting to say than to just recap Sportscenter every single day on here. Hahahahaha.

I put my favorite picture of Tiger Woods on here. It's a picture of him holding his daughter Sam. I just thought it was so sweet that after he won today he went over and held her. It is his first year as a Dad on Father's Day and I think because this was such a big tournament for him and his own father, it was probably really special that he won this year. Clearly that is just me reading way too much into it and being a creep about how much I love Tiger and his late father, Earl. But I do really believe that this US Open on Father's Day is always the most special to him. Plus, Nike always makes amazing commercials with Tiger and his dad that I love every year!! Nothing will top the British Open commercial where Tiger is like 5 and playing on the course, but this one was pretty good too...
