US Open
It was a pretty good finish tonight. I will be splitting time cheering for Tiger and Rocco tomorrow. I hope Tiger's knee can hold up. He acted like the pain was excruciating. He always seems to come through when the going gets tough though.
I agree, if Tiger doesn't win I'm rooting for Rocco. It will be interesting to see if he can deal with the pain though.
Tiger was awesome yesterday. No matter what happens today, the 18 yesterday and last 9 on Friday will further add to his legend.
I don't normally watch much golf on TV, but what I saw yesterday really made me look forward to watching today.
Tiger might start off shaky as he adapts to how the leg is feeling. Then his focus and adrenaline will mask the pain for a few hours. The real challenge will be the last few holes, IMO. Yesterday, he really rose to the occasion. Somebody within a few strokes will probably make a run, so we will see if a wounded Tiger can hold them off.
Saw part of Rocco's press conference right after the 3rd round. He seems like a great guy, very well spoken and he has a great understanding and appreciation of the situation. Would have been great to have him playing with Tiger in the last pair today, but I'm sure it will be good TV anyway.

I am not a huge Tiger fan, but this cat is a STUD!! chip in for birdie, the back it up with a bomb for eagle to take the lead on the last hole.
The more he matures the better he gets!!
If the knee and pain can be held in check, he will be the winner.
Rocco is a great guy and a sneaky long player. He might be able to give him a run.
Should be a good day to get a 12 pack and plant it in the recliner for a good finish for a change.

But.... Kudos. It's not like the course doesn't suit him. The US Open has set up a course for him to win on, even when he's injured.

The guy guts it out and has one of most impressive days of his incredible career, and for some reason you feel the need to diminish it. I'm no Tiger nut hugger, but c'mon....

You have to be a fool to think that the course isn't set up just for him. I mean he's so far off the fairways off the tee he's taking the rough out of play, and when he's on the fairway he's on in 2 on a 5. Come on.
The course plays the same for everybody. Its silly to think that he's got it easy when he's off the fairway. He is simply the best to ever play the game, hands down. He has the ability to make any course look like it was made specifically for him.
Oh.. and to add. Phil was just on TV talking about how this was the most "fair" setup that he's ever seen. I haven't heard a complaint from one of the players about how it plays unfair.
