Tiger practices — how to say this? — a lot

I took this picture with my phone but thought it would be worth noting that this was shown during today's final round coverage of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

In case you wondered how Tiger Woods rehabbed from his knee injury, he worked out — a lot.

I have no idea how many balls a professional would hit during three driving range trips. Maybe a thousand or so?

That's a lot of swings. His work is showing today, as he only trails Sean O'Hair by one stroke after making his third birdie of the front nine. O'Hair looks timid but still needs to focus on maintaining at worst, a share of the lead.

Tune in this afternoon if you want to hear Johnny Miller obsess over Tiger for the next two hours. I have to admit, the coverage has been favored — painfully, at times — to Woods. But what do you expect? He is the one playing well. He is the story today.

Might wanna keep the women and children away from the TV, however. Woods has displayed some of his, as Miller called it, military language. You didn't have to be a lip-reader to see Woods "You've got to be f*cking kidding me" reaction to a lip-out par putt earlier this afternoon.
