The 2011 U.S. Open is up and going and after day 2, Rory McIlroy is 6 shots ahead of the pack. After his meltdown at the Masters, many wondered if he could strike back at full force…so far, so good. But this article has nothing to do with Rory McIlroy or any other U.S. Open player as a matter of fact. It has to do with the one man who isn’t even playing this weekend, Tiger Woods. I am not a huge follower of golf but I know the basics and occasionally hit the driving range and would consider myself a casual golf spectator. Or at least I used to be.

I have not watched one bit of this U.S. Open and I am not surprised. Ever since Tiger’s incident I have been following very carefully, hoping to see the tournament in which he finally comes back to life. I want to see him succeed and pay attention to golf because I am waiting for his big moment. I watch the tournaments or stay updated through online scoreboards just to see how well Tiger is doing. I am hooked, until it is obvious that Tiger has no chance. When I see Tiger in the top 10 I get that feeling…maybe this is the tournament. Maybe Tiger is finally ready to shut everybody up.
Due to injury Tiger Woods is not partaking in the 2011 U.S. Open and guess what, I am not watching or paying attention. Yes, the regular golf enthusiast will watch no matter what but I am no regular enthusiast. I am just a guy who enjoys golf and occasionally doesn’t mind watching it either. I am the guy who specifically tunes in just to watch Tiger Woods and to see how he is doing. I am the guy who is very similar to a large portion of the rest of the American people…the people who only watch golf for Tiger Woods.
