Eldrick Woods plays final round of U.S. Open while Wife is hospitalized

What can one say? The spineless press, as usual, won't comment negatively on any type of ESPN cash cow -- *cough* Michael Jordan's gambling and adultery *cough* -- but this is, frankly stunning.
I've had the misfortune of meeting Eldrick in person while he was still at Stanford. He was an arrogant prick. Doesn't look like much has changed. How do you go out and walk 18 holes of golf while your wife is hospitalized due to complications in pregnancy? I liked this quote:
"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."'
Of course there's nothing you can do. Except, of course, be there with your wife for comfort and support. If Adrian, I mean Elin, wants you to go out there and win one for her, you should thank her for the advice and get your ass to the hospital. I have feeling that if Eldrick was ten shots back, he would have been at the hospital.
**At least this got Michelle Wie out of golfing news for a while.
