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

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!

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.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
