US Open Playoffs - Tiger Woods vs. Rocco Mediate
Jun 15th, 2008 by gtull1
After four days of agony for Tiger Woods due to his knee injury, Tiger still managed to tie today’s round by hitting a birdie on the last hole. It was dramatic to say the least! Tiger started off with a double bogey on hole 1, and a bogey on hole 2 to lose the lead early. But you should never count Tiger Woods out! Just like the LSU Tigers, this Tiger always finds a way to win!
“The playoff at Torrey Pines will be Monday. Woods will try to win his 14th major, while Mediate, 45, will try to become the oldest player to win the U.S. Open. The U.S. Open is the only major to play an 18-hole playoff. The last time it happened was seven years ago, when Retief Goosen beat Mark Brooks at Southern Hills. Woods shot 2-over 73 to tie Mediate at 1-under 283. Mediate shot even-par 71. He had a chance to win the tournament on No. 18, but his 30-foot birdie putt curled off just to the right.”
The playoffs will begin tomorrow as Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate will play 18 holes to determine the winner.
GEAUX TIGER WOODS!!
