I have to say this guy is just amazing. I watched both rounds he played on Saturday and Sunday and it was fairly clear he didn’t have his “A” game. If I didn’t know who hit the ball off of most of those tee boxes I woulda swore it was a home video of my normal foursome hacking around the local muni. Yet it was still the most unbelievable rounds of golf (especially Saturday) I have ever seen. Even my wife, who could really care less about golf, was riveted to the TV with me. Have you ever seen a guy that is so great - seem like he plays so horribly?

Did he even hit a fairway at all in the entire tournament?

This is what makes this guy unbelievable. His drives are all over the place. He spent more times on the gallery’s side of the ropes they should have made him purchase a ticket. But it’s just amazing to watch him work his way out of it and often times pull off the amazing shot either on the green or right around it. If Tiger ever gets his driver back to the way it was a few years ago the rest of the tour can just retire.

I have to come clean and admit I am a huge Tiger fan. Have been for years since he first went pro and played his first US Open at Shinnecock (my home town). But I have to admit I was a bit sad when he beat out Rocco on the final playoff hole. Tiger Woods is the 2008 US Open Champion, but make no mistake Rocco Mediate played like a champion all weekend and he should get a lot of credit for standing toe-to-toe with the greatest golfer of our time. Kudos to you sir.
