Tiger Woods Wins the 2008 US Open
17/06/08 08:27 Filed in: Sports Betting
Tiger was at one over par and Rocco Mediate was leading by one on level par going down the 18th. Rocco had benefited from three birdies on the bounce as it looked like Woods had it sewn up on the 10th, being ahead by three shots.
Tiger had a birdie chance on both 16 and 17 which he left short so stood on the final tee, he needed to make up the difference on the final hole. A great drive and 3 iron onto the water guarded hole saw Woods on for two, with Rocco Mediate only able to reach the Par 5 18th in three. Tiger had a long putt for eagle which he ran to around 5 foot and Rocco had a putt for the champiosnhip, which he missed. This left Woods a 5 foot putt to take it down to the sudden death play off on the 91st hole. He made it.
On the 91st, which was the 7th hole on the course Woods blasted a drive straight down the middle and Mediate hooked one into the bunker. Mediate then placed his second into the grandstand and Woods shot to around 15 foot. The writing was being written on the wall and this resulted in Rocco Mediate only being able to salvage a bogey with Woods already getting the Par.
Tiger has shown great spirit all week whilst breaking through the pain barrier of his knee after the operation.
