Shortly after Tiger Woods finished second in the US Open. He and his wife welcomed baby daughter Sam in to the world on Monday morning. Granted it would be easy to assume that Tiger got over the disappointment of losing very quickly. What would have happened if Tiger made a birdie on 16, 17 or 18 to tie Angel Cabrera?

Since the child was born in the morning how much sleep did Tiger get, how long was the labor, would Elin still let Tiger play? Would Tiger have decided to either postpone or forfiet the 18 hole playoff or would he have been there for Elin throughout the childbirth and afterwards? If Tiger decided to postpone or forfiet how understanding would the USGA be even if Angel Cabrera supported the idea of re-scheduling the playoff for the Tuesday instead.

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have one thing in common. Both had their first child born the day after they finished runner up in a US Open. For Phil it was 1999 after Payne Stewart made a 20 foot putt for par to win.
