Playing with Tiger must suck

Right now as I write this Note Rocco Mediate is in a 1v1 18 hold playoff with Tiger Woods for the US Open title. This is one of the most impossible matchups in the world for any athlete. Most 1v1 matchups there always seems to be a chance for one player to win over another, but Tiger seems to bring an psychological edge that his opponents can not overcome. Add to the fact that everyone is just watching those two and Rocco will have to battle a lot of mental issues to even have a chance.

Tiger thrives in these situations almost more than any person I have ever seen. With him recovering from knee surgery and playing on a sore knee you would think that everyone will be rooting for him making the uphill climb even more steep for Rocco.

As cool as it would be to play with Tiger and vie for the US Open crown, I'm not sure I would want to do it under these circumstances.

Rocco must be reading what I say because after 3 holes he is up 1.

Now Tiger is up by 2. There's no doubt that Tiger is a great athlete. His knee has to be in pain right now, unless he has some nice pain killers.

He just bunkered twice and Rocco seems relaxed. Looks like this is going full 18 neck-to-neck.

This is all Rocco had to do, stay in it this long and the pressure starts to shift on Tiger.

This is too much for me to handle, they just tied after 18 holes. Tiger birdied and Rocco got par on the final hole, now they're going into sudden death.
