Re: 2008 US Open
Good call on the high 5's, SD. I've always thought the same thing. Actually, when that clip at the Masters in 2005 is shown where the ball hangs on the edge of the cup and then falls, their high 5 always takes away from it.
Should be a fun day tomorrow. I think I might be coming down with something that won't let me come in to work tomorrow.  I'm also pulling for Rocco. He's so real. I love the guy.

Re: 2008 US Open
It's amazing how much better the coverage of these events are on the Golf Channel than ESPN. I just flipped over to ESPN on a commercial and they cover golf just about the same way they do football. It's terrible. The Golf Channel does a great job.

Tiger has played the 1st hole terrible. He doubled it on Thursday and today. If Tiger were to just par it tomorrow, it would give him a leg up. Tiger's plan has to be to get ahead early. If Rocco get down a couple of strokes I hope he will keep his composure and still play within himself. Tiger has not hit a lot of fairways and Rocco has played great off the tee. This will let Rocco get back in the match if he gets down early.

Re: 2008 US Open
I think Tiger wins, but he has to make an adjustment. Mediate is capable of plodding along, making fairways all day and if he continues to play the way he has, he'll come in at or a stroke below par. Tiger doesn't need to be very aggressive; he could stick with the three wood most of the day and outplay him with his wedges and putter. Will he do that? After some of the decisions he made yesterday, I don't know.
And I wonder what the setup will be like on the extra round?

Re: 2008 US Open
Tiger's knee looked fine on the celebration yesterday. Might be overselling it a tad.

Re: 2008 US Open
I'd say Rocco has a decent chance. The issue with the knee for Tiger isn't as much during the round it is the fact that he has been unable to practice to iron out the kinks. As Haney said, his warmup is his practice session.

Re: 2008 US Open
Tiger looks like he's in some real pain. I wonder what impact his knee will have in the playoff today.
As for Rocco, while he couldn't completely hold off Tiger yesterday, he did just enough to make sure Tiger had to chase him (which he did). I think Rocco does just enough today to win. |

Re: 2008 US Open
Hole #1: Rocco blows a six foot putt for par and settles for a bogey. Tiger misses a semi-lengthy birdie putt, but drains a three foot putt to save par.
After 1: Tiger Even, Rocco +1 If Rocco can't putt, he won't have a chance.

Re: 2008 US Open
The NBC simulcast is choppy and cutting out, but it looks like both golfers had a par on hole #2.
Woods still up by one. Rocco just missed a hole-in-one on #3 by maybe two inches.
