You know the rest; at least, that is, with the re-run of Rudy. But you've seen Tiger counted out before too, and after an unbelievable eagle putt on 13, and a "lucky" (in his own words) chip in from the nasty rough, Tiger, now using a driver as a walking cane, was only one shot back. And the movie could not have cooperated better.

No, they did not carry Tiger off the field as they did Rudy, for it was only the third round, and Woods would still have to limp around and hit miracles for eighteen holes tomorrow to win his 14th major, but I've seen the ending of Rudy fourteen times, and since that ultimate never-give-up movie always ends the same way, I'm betting that Eldrick, who has never lost a major when leading after 54 holes, will find a way to triumph too. The fact that it's Father's Day and Tiger's deceased dad will have to carry his gimpy son home from heaven will make this one all the more sweet.
