Tiger in US open

[GTDawg]

I was quite impressed that both announcers found the ability to be completely silent for a minute or two while Tiger prepared and finally putted.

That was an amazing week of golf.

I can only hope that tomorrow neither one runs away with it and it is close until the last hole.

Wtf 18 hole playoff? Why not sudden death?

[GTDawg]

The USGA has a boner for finding the most consistent and grinding player and hates the idea of one wrong bounce or one stupidly difficult lie killing someone's chances.

I think they should play a 3/4 hole playoff like the British Open or PGA championship, but...that's the USGA for you.

So I have a distraction and don't have to work this afternoon, that's why. Duh.

Two Rocco stories...

He used to live here in PVB and would play all the time at the TPC (obv)... one time after a round I noticed that my sand wedge was missing, so I went back over to the club and down in the "cart barn" they had a rack with all the clubs that got turned in. Found mine and noticed a little tag on it that said "Found on 16th hold by Rocco Mediate." I still have the tag. The other story is that my wife called me one afternoon to tell me that she was with the kids at Sierra Grill (local Tex-Mex restaurant) and that our youngest wondered too close to an electrical outlet while she was ordering and that Rocco had scooped him up and delivered him back to her and said something like, "I think this is yours." Moral of the stories... Rocco is a good guy. I hope he wins this afternoon.

Very cool.

I met him at the WSOP a few years ago and thought he was a very nice guy. Really down to earth and sporting a SWEET watch. I may even have a pic somewhere.

[Reel Deal]

Yeah, they've mentioned several times on the broadcast today that he's an avid poker player and that he's played in the World Series.
