Woods' Achilles Heel and European Tour Podcasts

There's lots of ink still being spilled over Tiger Woods' recent knee surgery.

Tim Rosaforte brings his usual detailed and well researched efforts to a background piece on Woods and his troubling history of knee problems - specifically, his weakened left knee, which has now undergone three operations in just over 14 years.

The upshot from the specialists that Rosaforte quotes is that this is not Tiger's last knee operation, that his left knee could be his "Achilles heel".

It makes you wonder if Tiger will have to modify his swing yet again to preserve that knee, or like the great Boston Bruins defenceman, Bobby Orr. in the National Hockey League, retire far too early because the knees were done (in Orr's case, both knees were completely gone after countless surgeries).

On a completely different topic, Irish golfer, Damien McGrane captured the China Volvo Open on Sunday thanks to Typhoon Neoguri which had weakened to a mere tropical storm. The rain was teeming down but McGrane ate it up and won by 9 shots.

I raise this story to bring your attention to an excellent series of podcasts now being produced by the European Tour.

The podcasts are hosted by former European Tour player Robert Lee, a two-time winner who now works as a golf commentator with Sky Sports out of Great Britain.

So far, the European Tour has produced six episodes of its ongoing podcast (all six are available) and very entertaining to listen to.

Number six details McGrane's very wet victory on Sunday.
