Tiger says Elin told him to keep playing in Open
ESPN - Woods' wife in hospital throughout U.S. Open - Golf
Quote:
BETHESDA, Md. -- There was the slightest crack in Tiger Woods' voice when he did a TV interview after walking off the 18th green at the U.S. Open, where he finished a close second.
Now we know why.
Woods revealed Tuesday that his wife, Elin, was admitted to the hospital on Thursday of the U.S. Open, experiencing complications as she prepared to deliver the couple's first child.
"It wasn't life-threatening or anything, but she just had a few problems and had to be admitted," Woods said. "It wasn't easy. It was not easy, because I wanted to be there. And the doctor and Elin said, 'There's nothing you can do. So go out there and just get a "W.'"
"Well, came close. But that night was infinitely more rewarding than any 'W' ever could have been."
