So then, it appears to be a new knee but the old Tiger Woods, while the biggest change at this 108th US Open is in the attitude of the United States Golf Association (USGA), the blazered and rather stern chaps who run the whole shebang that is taking place at Torrey Pines, a public links bordered by the Pacific Ocean, and from where you may hear the distant rhythm of the Tijuana Brass across the border in Mexico.
While Woods hops from par to birdie to eagle and back again, his left leg less of a factor than his suddenly reheated putter, it is the sea change that has taken place within a new-look USGA that is promising to turn this US Open from a grindfest to a wild ride. Welcome to the new Masters. At Augusta they have thrown away the party frocks in recent years and opted for dull. In contrast, the USGA have ordered up the bling and the Jimmy Choos. Good on them too.
Lee Westwood, a golfer whose own putter is his new best friend this week and who is enjoying a stand-out championship, likes everything about the way Torrey Pines has been decorated.
