US Open in prime time and final score

For todays final round they are going to move the tees up on the par 4 14th hole. It normally plays at 435 yards, but today it will be a very drivable 277 yards. Should be interesting.
 
Tiger has his Sunday red shirt on and has never blown a 54 lead in a major....but if that streak or mojo was ever in doubt it is right now. He is 3 over par after 1st 2 holes with his bad knee.

See if he can get a birdie back on 3rd or 4th hole.
 
Wow, things are really getting interesting. Tiger has gone to the wood instead of the driver and gotten back on track making some pars. Mediate has fallen off and given up the lead falling back to even par. Westwood is playing even par kind of golf but not getting birdie chances.

Els just chipped in and is only 3 back.
 
Tiger used driver on 7 and missed the fairway. So still a little uneasy with that club. Also seemed to tweak his knee just a bit again when he was okay with the wood. Gets on the green though and makes par. Then goes up and down from sand on 8 for another par.

Westwood blew a real chance there on 8 to go up 2. Big par 4 coming up on 9.

Starting to get crowded on leaderboard and I think somebody is about to go on a binge.
 
Glad I was watching on Saturday. Saw the 13th hole Eagle at Shady Grove... think I am my friend were the only ones there watching. Then back at his house saw the other two shots.

Today, it's non-stop Erectile Dysfunction advertising with a little golf in between... Two things I hate in life... ED ads and ED ads.

Tiger at -2 entering 13th hole where he had the big eagle on Saturday.

Westwood has fallen apart with bogey's on 2 of last 3 holes and back to even par. Els just lost any chance he had with a triple bogey.
 
I look at it like this. Tiger is gutting it out and it will be a hell of a story if he pulls this out. But if he does not and Rocco gets the victory I am still very very happy about it. His story is compelling and he seems like an awesome guy deserving of this. I don't think that Tiger will let anybody try to take away from Rocco either in regards to his knee or soreness. Tiger is not like that.

So if either of them win it is a fantastic U.S. Open and I will be happy.
 
US Open plays an 18 hole playoff on Monday in the case of a tie. That would play better for Rocco considering Tiger's knee.
 
Fievel, I know what you mean now as they keep on with his story and what he has overcome (he being Rocco Mediate). I almost feel like I should kick my dog if I don't root for Tiger to not catch up and win this.
 
I dont care who wins tomorrow, Ilike both of these guys, but I got a headrush from laughing as Tiger's put rolled in.
 
Wow Tiger's 3rd shot on 18 from the rough was the must have iron shot of the tournament right there. Then that putt from 12 or so feet was just the amazing to watch.

Tiger's reaction after he made that putt had to make you just grab whoever you saw next and give them a hug.

Awesome.
 
Program Notice. In case you have not thought about it or did not know, the Golf Channel now has live coverage from the U.S. Open. I assume they are going to have the press conferences live. So if you have not had your fill yet, turn to the Golf Channel.

I am going to be flipping back and forth from the Celtics v. Lakers game, the Mike Myers SNL Special on NBC and the Golf Channel.
 
I'm not the biggest golf fanatic like my father is, but this was awesome.

I can't wait for tomorrow. 18 hole playoff, all day long. Saweeeeeeeet.
