Rocco should remember how he blew golden opportunities on 9 and 10.

Great tournament, though. I bet Mickelson choked on a few fish tacos watching this.

To say he "blew" anything is absurd. The guy went toe to toe with the best golfer who has ever sucked air.

Indeed. Rocco really threw away that sudden death hole, but I guess that's how it goes.

this proves that nike golf clubs are better than calloway

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

Yep, congrats to Tiger! Move over Jack there is a freight train coming through. After this monumental win, Tiger in my mind is the best to ever tee it up!

Best US Open I have ever seen!

Amazing tournament. Couldn't have asked for a better tournament and a better player to fight with Tiger. Rocco is such a class act and it was a shame that he couldn't win the Open but I just couldn't root against Tiger. Hopefully Rocco can win a tournament or two in the next few years before he hangs it up.

Best US Open I have ever seen!

True dat! I was really bummed I couldnt go, but I could practically hear the roars in my backyard.

I got to watch the last couple holes of the playoff. Big props to Rocco for keepin up with Tiger for 18 extra holes. Tiger is not the best yet, but theres no doubt that he will be the greatest of all time. And hopefully the knee strain from the tournament didnt cause lasting damage. That would really suck if he had to shortside his career. I was way wrong on my predictions. I didnt think he would finish top ten and I was sure of it, but boy was I wrong...

I don't expect we'll see much of Woods before The Open Championship. He'll probably want to get the knee in the best possible shape for that. He does not care much about anything but majors anyway.
