Only the tough can achieve their ambitions – Franklin

Return

From being seriously injured in a car accident to participating in the competition, after 508 days of waiting, Tiger Woods stood on the course of the competition again. He still had steel plate nails in his legs, which caused his legs to be long and short, and he could not squat to see the green line. After coming down, he couldn’t turn around freely with his full swing. He had to change his previous swing. In just 13 months, he completed the whole process of treatment, recuperation, rehabilitation, training, and psychological adjustment. a miracle!

Persist in

On the court, Woods struggled. After all, he had not played for 17 months, was 46 years old, and had back fusion surgery. Putting should be the easiest part for an injury-riddled and hobbled Woods, because putting doesn’t require twisting, no sudden kicks, just relax your arms, gently roll your shoulders, and feel the touch with your hands. And speed, but still can’t avoid Woods’ career-worst putting record.

The intensity of the Dashan Course was too great. The three-putt on the last three holes made Woods’ reassembled right leg overwhelmed. However, Woods did not show any obvious performance. He just hugged his agent after the press conference. Feelings use the agent as a human crutch and slowly walk up the hillside clubhouse. Woods is a proud man. He silently endured his pain. Although every swing and every save was heart-wrenching, he still chipped and putt resolutely as always.

Respect

Compared with Scotty Schaeffler’s rocket-like record, Tiger also set a record, and he played the worst record of his career in this Masters. Two consecutive rounds of 78, the worst in his career; 36 putts in the third round, his worst personal data since 1999; 5 three-putts, the worst in his career, but when Woods handed over 78 in the final round, he moved to No. 18 When he hit the green, everyone gave him the warmest applause.

Woods said after the game, “It’s an unbelievable feeling to have the support of everyone here, I didn’t play my best on the court, but I had the support and understanding of the fans. I don’t feel the language. To be able to describe exactly what I’ve been through for over a year, my goal is to play all four rounds. Just a month ago, I wasn’t sure if I could do it.” – In the end, he did it, and he stuck with it The game won the respect of everyone!

Victory

This is Woods’ long-lost return. For his fans, the 47th place in three-putt is not that important. As long as Woods can be seen on the court, as long as he can play the whole way, it is a victory. Woods is still the spiritual beacon of perseverance and perseverance in the hearts of fans.

The commentator said that he has never seen the audience have such enthusiasm and tolerance for a player. He has never experienced this feeling. In fact, most people have not experienced it. The audience hopes that Woods can have a better performance. , if they can, many people will even be willing to use a small part of their income to exchange a bird or two for Woods.
