He suffered a stress fracture to his knee 2 weeks before the Open, and he now needs ACL surgery.

how can you possibly say that a torn ACL wouldn't affect how someone swings a golf club. Allstar aren't you a decent golfer?

Allstar aren't you a decent golfer? im a good golfer. it wouldnt hurt until POST swing. ive actually slightly torn my ACL before and could still golf. i didnt tear it completely. i asked if i could risk further injury playing and he said i could but it would be post swing. my doc said it would hurt but i could still play. he gave me pain killers just in case. i was trying to win sectionals in high school at this time. he would be in discomfort post swing but iwth pain killers and by the time he walked to his next shot he would be fine. |

Well Tiger played with a full tear in his ACL and a stress fracture at the same time. Plus there are very few people in the world that put as much torque on their front knee during each swing. He was clearly not wincing for the national audience watching him and if you say that a torn ACL and stress fracture didn't affect his game during the Open then I really must admit you are pretty foolish.

he played 91 holes at about an average of 4 strokes per hole, so thats about 364 swings, pretty painful stuff.

I cant believe someone would argue that a torn "acl injury wouldn't affect shit." Please its a torn ACL of course its gonna have an toll on a player and You can't put any pressure at all. However, If he had a torn ACL I don't understand how he was able to get on his knees after he missed those long puts especially the one at the end, that would kill.

Actually I'm pretty sure you can walk no problem with a torn ACL, but it definitely affects anything else.

Yeah, you can walk but as soon as you try to walk up and down it just kills.

how can you even base an argument that a stress fracture or an acl injury wouldn't affect his swing? I never thought highly of you but damn I didn't think you were this stupid. I've had a stress fracture in my fibula before and it hurts. I had a stress fracture right before I went to the national tourney but I still played but it was very painful. Yes it did affect the way I played but I still played. After the tourney I was out for the next 2 months before I began doing any physical activity.

NO Anything acl related will put you in discomfort even walking. There is really no point to even further arguing about this to you. Its simply stupid to think his injury had no affect on him while he was playing. |
