I was about to make a post about it. I am watching it online right now. This could be the biggest upset ever. Tiger has been phenomenal this tournament
I know putts like that aren't easy. I can barely make 8 footers half the time.
Tiger pulled it out again. Mediate impressed me though. Usually he's been in situations like yesterday and fucking choked (see: 2006 Master's)

This is the first time I've ever watched golf and was entertained. Good stuff. I caught the 18th and the Sudden Death.
I've been playing Golf for years and love it. I actually really enjoy watching it...esp the 4-majors. Give me the back nine on Sunday during a Major Championship...that is great tv! The US Open Championship will go down as one of the best Majors ever.
Golf does take athletism but it is the ultimate mental game esp if played at a high level. It is also the ultimate hang with the boys game (19th being my fav hole), and can be fun if you don't take it too seriously.
Those who say its boring or its a fags game...I totaly disagree. Its funny how just about every Pro athlete in other sports try, play, and spend much time working on the game of Golf...and marvel at the PGA and what some of these guys do...esp the top players in the world.

I'm so sick of Tiger Woods. It's too bad Mediate didn't win. He could hang his hat on that for the rest of his life.
It would have been cool for Rocco if he pulled out the win...but I was rooting for Tiger as usual. I can see people being sick of Tiger, but I go the other way and appreciate his dominance and greatness in the sport. He is already one of the alltime great performers in sports and may be the greatest ever when finished...above guys like Nicklaus, Jordan, Ali, Russell, etc.
He is very intelligent, professional, and I really like the fact how he recognized, studied, respects and appreciates the players and champions who came before him.

Nicklaus was better because he won all those tournaments using inferior technology. Woods hasn't had to deal with that aspect of it.
...and don't forget the fact Nicklaus had an elite group of Palmer, Player, Trevino, Watson, et al to deal with all the time and he still has the most majors. That being said, I just think Tiger is and will be the best ever, despite the technology, generation, competion issues etc. His impact on the game is second to none.
I'm not denying his impact. He brought a resurgence to golf that has certainly helped to put it back in the spotlight. He's definitely one of the top 5 golfers ever.
