re: Tiger To Miss The British Open

If he had half the heart of Ben Hogan, he'd be playing.

11 months after almost dying in a car wreck, he was back on the tour. That summer he went on to win the 1950 US Open...after doctors said he might never walk again.

Hogan, who was the driver, threw himself across Valerie's lap, likely saving her life and his own. (The steering wheel hit the driver's seat.) Valerie sustained only minor injuries, but the force of the crash broke Hogan's collarbone, pelvis and ankle and crushed one of his ribs. He later developed a blood clot that nearly killed him. Doctors were not sure he would ever walk again, let alone play golf.

They need to make a movie about him!
