all team sports informationRocco Mediate and Tiger Woods have finished in a tie at the U.S. Open, forcing an 18-hole playoff for the first time since 2001 reports all team sports information.
The playoff at Torrey Pines will be Monday. Woods will try to win his 14th major, while Mediate, 45, will try to become the oldest player to win the U.S. Open. The U.S. Open is the only major to play an 18-hole playoff. The last time it happened was seven years ago, when Retief Goosen beat Mark Brooks at Southern Hills.
Woods shot 2-over 73 to tie Mediate at 1-under 283.
Mediate shot even-par 71. All team sports information reports he had a chance to win the tournament on No. 18, but his 30-foot birdie putt curled off just to the right.
Tiger is just incredible. All team sports information says you watch him time after time and think to yourself he can't possibly do it again but he does. Super putt on the last hole especially with that kind of pressure. I saw Mediate play when he was still an amateur and he is one of the good guys in the game. You'd love to see him win but it's hard to root against Tiger. All team sports information says the guy is simply awesome. When you consider that he hasn't played competitive golf in weeks and the knee it's almost unbelievable.
