Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
|
One shot behind after a collapse no one saw coming, Woods birdied the 18th hole to force sudden death at Torrey Pines against a journeyman with a creaky back who simply wouldn't go away. (article 15)
That one extra hole was enough to doom Mediate, trying to become the oldest U.S. Open champion at 45 years, 6 months. (article 15)
After holding off a late fightback by Mediate to clinch the title at the 91st hole on a sun-kissed day at Torrey Pines, Woods said he would take a break to rest his painful left knee. (article 3)
Woods who had stumbled to two bogeys in the last six holes, who had bumbled to a shaky start by playing the first two holes in three over, had twice given away the lead and looked beatable. (article 12)
SAN DIEGO - Rocco Mediate had hoped to play in the final pairing with Tiger Woods on Sunday, saying all he wanted was a chance to compete against the world's best player. (article 13)
At times wincing as pain shot through his surgically repaired left knee, at times smiling in disbelief as another of his shots disappeared in the hole, Woods played himself into position to win his 14th major championship. (article 6)
