Tiger likely for US Open, doubtful for Memorial

Former No 1 tries to leave his nagging left knee pain behind

WASHINGTON - Tiger Woods expects to play in next month's US Open despite nagging left knee pain that forced him out of last week's US PGA Players Championship and has him doubtful for the Memorial in two weeks.

"Bummed that my left leg has me on the sidelines, but I want, and expect, to be at the US Open. Will do all I can to get there," Woods posted on Monday evening on his Twitter microblogging website.
