Playoff Time at the 108th US Open

A comparison between the two players:

Tiger is the favorite for tomorrow's playoff, no doubt about that, but Rocco Mediate definitely has the crowds pulling for him. This is why people watch golf. Each player has a story. Tiger has his sore knee, still recouperating from the surgery a month ago. Rocco has the bad back and the eye bags to prove that he has been playing on the tour for almost 20 years waiting for this day: a shot at beating the best player in the world at one of the most important stages in golf. It would have been a miracle if one of them had a chance at winning the US Open. Now, both will have a shot at the title.

Such is the game of golf, where players are pushed to their limits, where every last effort is mustered from deep inside of their big hearts. This is also why I love golf! Because it is too unpredictable, and people like Rocco Mediate actually have a shot at beating Tiger Woods. Not because he is physically strong and drives a mile off the tee, but because of the exact opposite. Rocco Mediate has a chance tomorrow because he has shown the heart to win. I almost cried when I thought Rocco Mediate was going to win. I will definitely be praying for Rocco to win tomorrow. If he beats Tiger tomorrow, then they might make a movie out of it.

Just a reminder of how Tiger got into the playoff:
