Here's his reaction after making the putt on the 72nd hole:
Tiger's Put On 72nd hole, 2008 US Open
I saw him grimace after good shots as well as bad, with no set pattern except it always appeared to be after he made contact and was completing his swing, so that it seemed to be that final torque on the leg, which we now know was probably the stress fractures that were hurting, not the knee. He was able to crouch behind putts, always with left knee up, get in and out of bunkers, sometimes needing a hand from Stevie. He said he would be fine, was ready to play, and judging by the outcome I believe those were honest and sincere statements. |
Yes, I explained this clearly in my post earlier. You echo my points.
It was the fractures, not the knee

read my post: basically, it hurt becasue at different angles and pressure it made the tibia fractures send sharp jabs of pain up his leg.
