It's Roc and Roll time, or is it Roll the Roc time? All he has to do is nail some putts, shoot 1 under and win.

I haven't heard anyone "feeling bad" for him.

I'm rooting my tail off for Rocco.

He's a player I've always liked. If he does shoot 70, I like his chances a lot.

Go Rocco! If Tiger gets through the first few unharmed it will be almost impossibe for Rocco. He is veteran enough though where he can focus and play his game and not worry about what TIger is doing.

I've been a die hard Tiger fan since back in the day. Even though I feel Tiger gets way too much media coverage I still have to root for him. Go Tiger!

No one is "feeling bad" for him.

He started the tournament, and will do everything in his power to finish. He started the tournament fine, not really any pain as far as you could see, until 18. Put it this way, you're in his position with all that money/etc. on the line...would you just DROP OUT? I wouldn't drop out unless my knee literally came off.

Tiger could care less about the money. His main focus is on capturing his 14th major and 3rd US Open. That's what drives him.

it also doesn't hurt that when he's done he goes home to a cute kid, a hot wife, and his huge ass estate where he'll be rehabbing for the next few months making sure he's good to go for the season finale.

damn season finale...it feels like last week when we saw him in dubai.

Well, Rocco didn't win. But he sure as hell gave Tiger a good scare. I was the only one at my entire school to think that Rocco would win. Well I was the only one wrong, but anyways I just didn't want to see Tiger win. He's amazing, no doubt about that, but I get sick of seeing him win. I like when the underdog wins. In this case, Rocco was the underdog. Tiger played great, and so did Rocco. It's just ashame that it had to be that close between Tiger (World's best golfer), and Rocco Mediate (158th best golfer). Much respect to Rocco.

I wouldn't call it a shame. I think that's a great testament to the game of golf and how unpredictable it is. Professionals are professionals. They have the ability to go out there and play ungodly rounds on a consistent basis. Tiger just does it much more consistently than anyone else, haha.

Rocco was lights out this week. His putter let him down today with a couple of missed short ones, and then the lefts off the tee late. I was rooting hard for him, not because I didn't want Tiger to win, but because a happy go lucky guy with a steady game who has been around a long time got it going later in his career and was a Cinderella story at the grandest tourney in the world (or one of them). Hard not to like what Tiger did, with the great Friday back nine, the incredible Saturday, and the winces and painful swings all week. Just a great major.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
