Rocco's moral victory
There is no doubt that Tiger makes the golf world go round but my boy Rocco Mediate deserves a special pat on the back for his lone accomplishment. That is, his stellar U.S. Open performance was enough to take him to the top of the mountain and have a good look at the winners circle. As a matter of fact, he not only glimpsed the winners circle but forced a broken Tiger through an extra knee-jerking nineteen holes on Monday to capture it.
So let's give credit where credit is due and pay the appropriate homage to the forty-five year old crowd pleasing performance that nearly toppled the king of the game. Everybody knows that Tiger, on any given Sunday could and probably would blow Rocco off the links. But this time the old guard stood fast and forced the much admired top-dog to play to the bitter end and beyond to earn the trophy he wanted so bad!
Don't you love it when the game gives us what appears to be a completely upside down circumstance. Rocco was the one defying gravity this time, and that gives some street-cred to the guys who aren't super-young and super-fit!
