In the 91st hole, 1st sudden death playoff hole, Tiger Woods wins the U. S. Open. After hitting a birdie on the 18th yesterday to force a playoff round, he did it again in the playoff round to force sudden death. Rocco Mediate hit a poor tee shot into a bunker, and then his second shot went into the rough. Whereas Tiger hit his tee shot onto the fairway, and second shot onto the green. He was able to two-putt for par. Rocco was unable to make his long par putt. However, it should be noted that Rocco was down 3 shots after 10 holes, and was able to birdie 3 consecutive holes to take a lead heading onto the 18th.
It amazes me that Tiger won the U. S. Open. Just the sight of seeing him in pain after most of drives was inspiring. Not to say that people have been, but no one should ever be able to question his mental toughness. He was put to the test in this tournament. In a side note, it is nice and humanizing to see him holding his daughter.
