How can you not root for Mediate?


Tiger and Rocco just teed off at the Open for the 18-hole playoff. They both hit their first drives in the fairway and Rocco congratulated Woods after Tiger sarcastically raised his hands in celebration.

Mediate is a chatty guy...he's twitchy...acts nervous and quirky...really seems to enjoy being in the position he is today...overall, he's a likable dude. Part of me would really like to see Rocco do it since he's never won a major. That said, I'm still pulling for Woods. Why do I keep rooting for him? Because I just love seeing records being broken and watching history being made. Each time Woods steps on the course gets one step closer to other immortals of the game. He might be the greatest who's ever played the game...I hope I'm watching as his record leaves no doubt that he was just that.

-Oh, by the way, if it was sudden death, Woods would have just won the tournament. Woods is up by one stroke as they head to two.

-Rocco is up by 1 after 4.

-Even after 5

-Woods up 1 after 6.

-Woods up 2 after 7

-Woods up 2 after 9

-Woods up 3 after 10

-Woods up 1 after 13

-Rocco up 1 after 17

TUNE IN IF YOU'RE NEAR A TV!

Sudden death...Tiger & Rocco still even after 90 holes.

It looks like Rocco just lost it with his last shot...stay tuned.

-Woods on in two...Rocco hitting his third from the rough (designated drop after ball came to rest next to grand stands)...

-Tiger wins in one hole during sudden death playoff.

I was for Mediate yesterday, but when he mouthed that Tiger couldn't make that putt on 18, I switched my allegiance.

Either way, I'm just stoked that I have live golf on a Monday afternoon.

If you love Woods so much, why don't you just marry him?

Oh! Burn!

Let's party like it's 4th grade.

But seriously... what is this now? The Golf Channel?

I like how tim comments like he's just a reader... Oh wait...

Yes, two posts about the United States golf championship qualifies as the golf channel. In fact, I think they only had one story about it.

Burn yourself.

Oh snap!

justin, it's bonus golf...never a bad thing!

Tim, if only you had the ability to contribute something to the site...then it wouldn't be so golf-centric. By the way, I married Tiger a few weeks ago after Ken Griffey and I broke up. Drew Brees is still angry at me for two-timing.

I'll tell you why, because of that stupid peace sign on his belt buckle. Regardless of your opinion on the way, leave the political statements at home.

Purdue Matt said...

I am rooting for Tiger because....

-He works harder than anyone else
-He carries himself with class
-Rocco is a hippie

I'm a conservative...and I wasn't bothered by it. He didn't say anything in any of his interviews or make any peace signs to the camera...but the buckle and the high pants made him look silly.

I typically find golf boring to watch, but I wish I had been able to see this one. I’ll be watching Sport Center tonight for their full-on cream fest of this one. Granted, this probably deserves it. Well, not as much as they will give it, but it deserves more attention than normal.
