Rocco HEATS it Up @ The British Open!

It seems like just yesterday Rocco was elegantly bowing to Tiger Woods during the US Open. Well, now he has another great chance at the British Open! That’s right, as of current standing he shares the lead with 3 others.

Check out this highlight from a recent ESPN article:

“It was just one of those rounds,” said Mediate, 45, who has become something of a celebrity since taking Woods to a playoff at the U.S. Open and finally losing on the 91st hole. “It was just up and down and up and down and a couple of birdies, and here we are. I would have been ecstatic with 73 or 74 today. … I’m ecstatic with this one. This was a lot of fun.”

Truth is, Mediate wasn’t expecting much fun when he woke to the sounds of rain and wind. The temperature was in the low 50s, the wind gusted up to 25 mph and he saw his colleagues wearing wool caps.”

Heartbreak Hotel!

Rocco finally gave way to the world’s best Tiger Woods on Hole #7 @ Torrey Pines in Double Overtime, “Sudden Death”

Rocco’s comment, “They wanted a show, they sure got one.”

They certainly did! Congratulations on 2nd place Rocco, you demonstrated to the world you are an amazing golfer.

Congratulations to Tiger Woods the 2008 US Open Champion.

Double OVERTIME Baby!

The battle continues into SUDDEN DEATH as Tiger and Rocco both make their putt.

Through 17 Holes

What a fierce battle it has been so far. Rocco has been keeping Tiger on his toes as he is ahead 1shot going into the 18th hole. As it stands right now Rocco is in some trouble with a fairway bunker. Tiger is dead center in the fairway. These next shots will either determine a winner or a continued play-off. We will post the final result here as it happens!

Either way this has been one of the most exciting US Opens I have ever seen!

ESPN.com Article on Rocco Mediate

If your just tuning we recently learned that tomorrow Monday June 16, 2008 our very own superstar golfer Rocco Mediate is set to duel Tiger Woods for the title of 2008 US Open Champion.

I just read an awesome article over at ESPN.com about Rocco’s suprise playoff against Tiger.  It reads…

“Mediate, trying to become the oldest champion at age 45, two-putted for par from above the ridge for an even-par 71 to finish at 1-under 283, the first time since 2004 that someone broke par in a U.S. Open.”

One more awesome fact from this article…

” Monday will not be the first time they have tussled.

Mediate played with a 23-year-old Woods in the final round of the Phoenix Open in 1999, where he led by six shots and held on to win by three. It was one of his five PGA Tour victories. “Battle royale,” Mediate said of what awaits. “The thing that is most amazing is the man I’m going to play tomorrow has won 13 of these. It’s amazing how much it takes. I gave all I had today and I can’t complain.”"

Looks like Woods will be looking for some revenge here!
