I didn't know Tiger Woods would win until...
The U.S. Open went to a 91st hole. In sudden-death play, if it's Tiger and the other guy, the other guy suddenly (though not surprisingly) dies. Always.
I was initially surprised to see Woods and Rocco Mediate approaching the 18th hole today at Torrey Pines, each with a chance to win. But when you think about it, the best way to get Tiger off his game this weekend was to make him walk as many holes as possible on that bum knee. Make him think about that injury, not about the situational strategy.
If you're (insert inferior golfer's name here), this was your only chance.
Mediate also showed he could manage the Torrey Pines course almost as well as the master. In pressure situations, my money's with Tiger, but over a full 18 holes? Hey, maybe the guy's got a chance. Rocco Mediate did have a chance, and almost made the most of it -- but then it went to sudden death. Then, and only then, could you forget about it.
