Rocco???

[dpg1682]

So seeing that he nearly beat tiger last year sending him to sudden death and extra holes , do you think he has a shot this year?

[Parker0065]

It's a tough call but I gotta say probably miss the cut. I haven't notice Rocco's name up on any leader boards lately and he's not the longest guy in the world.

That being said, I hope he makes the cut!

Exactly. I'm pulling for him, but just don't see it happening. Go get em' and prove me wrong Rocco!

[CG031]

He's probably going to miss the cut. I like Rocco but lets all be honest, I don't think any of us should be expecting him to contend again.

[lobsterzilla]

dont think he's long enjoguh in the extremely rainy conditions

I love the guy and watching him last year was so fun, but realistically I just don't see him making it this year.

[Shindig]

I think he will feed off the crowd for positive energy, and will make the cut and will have a respectable finish, but not in the top-10. I don't see him contending this year, given recent performance. It's too bad, because I really like him.

Rocco has played in 12 events this year and made the cut every time (though his best finish is T22). He knows how to get to the weekend; he'll finish around 50th at Bethpage.

IMO - he makes the cut but remains in the back of the back throughout the weekend.

[David in FL]

He makes the cut.

I don't think he'll be a factor on Sunday though. I'd sure like to be wrong about that though!

[pjsnyc]

He's good enough to know how to make the cut. Here's to hoping he contends again! GET EM ROC!

[mcfc_nick]

as said previously, makes the cut, doesnt contend!

[ugottabjoshinme]

well the need for a new driver says (mostly hopes) that he will contend

[Elvisliveson]

Makes the cut but finishes somewhere around 45th.

[mirv]

i'm gonna say he'll miss the cut, but probably just barely. if he makes it, he'll be at the bottom. and not a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

[NaturalSelecter]

He'll make the cut but won't contend, since he's made a lot of cuts this year but never finished inside the top-20.

Yes, he does. Forget the favorites and look for the "dark horse". Did anyone think Angel Cabrera was going to win at Oakmont? Did anyone think he was going to win at Augusta this year before the tournament began? The US Open rewards accuracy and super putting. If Tiger and Phil can be accurate, they have a chance but I do not think either of them will contend on the last 4 holes. Rocco came out of nowhere last year. Look for some one like that this year. The fans and media will surround the Stars, but someone "under the radar" may well walk off with the trophy. Remember---you read that here, based on Rocco's performance last year.

I dont think he makes the cut. He has all but vanished from the leaderboard since that tournament.
