ESPN.com Article on Rocco Mediate

Posted under Rocco Mediate by admin

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.”"
