It’s back!

/Forgive me for being late with this one, but I was out at the interview area Masters Sunday and did not hear Bill Macatee's epic reaction to Tiger Woods suggesting he'd popped a bone back in place, nor had I heard the Faldo-Nantz reaction where you can almost feel them looking at each other incredulously.
Matthew Schwerha talked to Dr. Benjamin Davis, an orthopedic surgeon in Chicago who says it's possible.
“In football, it’s not uncommon to have hand injuries that are put back into place, and the player will return to the game,” Davis said. “In 2008, Tiger finished and won the U.S. open with a torn ligament and a stress fracture in his knee. Tiger has a proven record of physical toughness and he is a tremendous competitor. I wouldn’t put anything past him.”
