brett haber live with today's surprising and disappointing announcement. >> it is surprising in as much as tiger hasn't missed the u.s. open since 1994. now he sits four major championships shy. every time he skips one of these, his chances decreased. but as you say, his body won't allow him to come to greater washington next week. tigers has been suffering from a knee injury and an acyly's injury. he played one round of golf since then and that one he had to quit half way through due to the pain. here's tiger's statement released on his website earlier today. i'm extremely disappointed, but it's time for me to listen to my doctors and focus on the future. i hope to be ready for the at&t national, the next two majors and the rest of the year. so if you are keeping score, since 2007 when tiger announced that he would be bringing his tournament to washington and playing here annually, he has played here twice. anita. >> brett, thank you. >>> sky 9 was over laurel this morning where a body was found inside a burning car. somebody called police after they saw a car on fire along i- 95 south
