victory means for his kids. >> prior to this comeback they only knew that golf caused me a lot of pain. i tried to swing a club, i would end up on the ground. i struggled for years. and that's basically all they remember. luckily i've had the procedure where that's not the case and i can do this again. we're creating new memories for them. it's very special. >> woods is expected to be at pebble beach in june for the u.s. open. he has won that open three times before. >> it's just incredible. we noted earlier the warriors stopped their tape review to watch that final moment. i was playing tennis, and everyone i was with, we stopped to watch him make the final putt. it was history in the making. >> we were all watching, too. >> everybody likes a comeback. >> after so many years, it's stunning. how about the rain coming back? anybody? >> good transition.

concerns from riders. there have been reports of the brakes being a little stronger than expected on the front wheel. some of the bikes in the san jose area will stay in service because the components are a little bit different there. the company says it's working on developing a new bike that it will roll out soon. gobike operates as city bike in other major cities as well. no word if anyone has actually been hurt because of this braking issue. you'll soon be able to hop on a bike and cruise through the water between oakland and alame alameda. both cities have given the green lights on this, a fleet of 25 electrically assisted water bikes. users claim a bike through a mobile app and then ride on the 200-yardest we're between the jack london square area or the grand street dock in alameda. pricing has not yet been determined but the bikes should roll out just in time for summer in july. >> i so want to try it although

i'm afraid of falling in the water there. an attorney who says he has re-invented soda tried to sell his idea to the sharks on last night's episode of "shark tank." unfortunately, none of the sharks took a bite of his luma 2.0. the all-natural soda that has no preservatives and less than four grams of sugar per 12 ounce serving. >> thank you very much. >> good luck. >> thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> getting an investment from a shark would have made all the difference in the world for our company. it's going to be an uphill battle but we'll keep fighting. >> don't feel too bad. his product isn't actually doing that bad. the product he created in his kitchen is sold in a couple natural food stores in palo alto and sold out online. >> looks like i would try that. >> nice and fruity. >> looks good.

>> sue? good morning, everyone. a couple problem spots for your monday morning commute. back to san jose, this accident still partially blocking a lane north 280 just north of 101. expect some slowing there and then that southbound 680 accident is part of one and the same. a heads-up on that, it's one accident in that area of san jose. southbound mid span on the bridge. not much slow traffic. look at that, already an hour from tracy into dublin. westbound 4 near willow pass. that's been cleared out of lanes. >> a wet commute may mess things up later on this afternoon. light to moderate rain this afternoon, this evening. starting out with 40s and 50s. it's cool, partly cloudy.

by noontime dry conditions. upper 50s to near 60. it's about that 1:00, 2:00 hour the rain moves into the north bay and then by 4:00 everybody is wet. it's cool and breezy. >> thank you, lisa. coachella this weekend brought out high-profile actors, fellow musicians, and even apple ceo tim cook. deejay and music producer shared this photo on social media. he tweeted tim cook asked me to send him this, but he doesn't follow me. so if everyone could tag him, that would be great. dion, listen to this. on instagram he posted the same picture with the caption, some random guy came up to me and asked for a picture, but i look good so here it is. >> that's hilarious. just some gentle rubbing. still ahead on abc 7 mornings, more flights canceled following the grounding of the boeing 737 max jets. the extension that will impact summer travelers. and hospital shortage.
