Tiger Woods Wins U.S. Open

Tiger Woods wins U.S. Open in Sudden Death

After 91 holes and days of play, Tiger Woods secured his third U.S. Open win after a very exciting sudden death match and despite the pain from his ailing knee.  Tiger battled Rocco Mediate in a 19-hole playoff. 

Mediate’s odyssey began two weeks ago when he had to survive a sudden-death playoff simply to qualify for this U.S. Open. Even more unlikely was going toe-to-toe with Woods.

He had a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to win, but it slid by on the left.

Mediate lost the tournament but walked off Torrey Pines with 12,000 new friends who crammed both sides of every fairway for a playoff that was tighter than anyone imagined.

“Obviously, I would have loved to win,” he said. “I don’t know what else to say. They wanted a show, they got one.”

Did they ever.

It capped a remarkable week for Tiger, the world’s No. 1 player, who had not played since April 15 surgery on his left knee and looked as though every step was a burden. But the knee held up for 91 holes, and the payoff was worth the pain, even if doctors had warned him that he risked further injury by playing the Open.

“I’m glad I’m done,” Woods said. “I really don’t feel like playing anymore. It’s sore.”

Here is a list of what some of Hollywood’s most talked about people earned in 2007. Remember, these are just 2007 earnings, not their total net worth. Somehow, Dr. Phil made $90 million in 2007 alone. I guess dispensing all of that, “I’ll tell you what” wisdom really pays off. The most peculiar entry on this list is Leona Helmsley’s dog, Trouble, who got $12 million dollars in her will, making Trouble a higher 2007 earner than Katherine Heigl and on equal to Ryan Seacrest. Isn’t that just a little insane?

Take a look at the list:

Tiger Woods Buys A New Mansion

Tiger Woods has a new spot to store his clubs.

The golfer, 32, has snapped up a $65 million, 13,200-square-foot oceanfront estate in Southampton, New York.

The digs come complete with six bedroom suites, a music room, a cypress wood-paneled library and staff quarters, as well as a 7,500-square-foot guest house, which features ocean views, three bedrooms, a den and a kitchen.

Wait, there’s more!

Nicknamed “By the Sea,” the mansion is surrounded by a seaside pool with spa, tennis court, lily pond and professionally-landscaped gardens. (Perfect for afternoon walks for Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren, 28, and their daughter, Sam, 9 months!)

Their new neighbors? Fashion designer Vera Wang and New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.

This isn’t the first home Woods has splurged on.

He also owns a $40 million estate on Jupiter Island, Florida (that was partially destroyed in a fire last year) and a 155-foot long yacht, Privacy. He’s also building a 16,500-square-foot palace that will feature a pool and theater on a golf course he designed in Dubai.
