Tiger Forces Playoff with Rocco

Rocco Mediate will play Tiger Woods on Monday in an 18 hole playoff for the U.S. Open title at Torre Pines G.C. in La Jolla California .

Tiger birdied the 72 hole to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate, after blowing a 2 shot lead to start the day.

If Rocco wins, he will be the oldest Major, and oldest first time Major winner in history. He will also break Tiger’s streak of having never lost a tourney when leading after 54 holes.
