2008 U.S. Open: Greatest Golf Tournament of All Time?
I just finished viewing the playoff between Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate at the US Open this afternoon (I had to work, so watched it on TIVO). I don’t know if Tiger’s 91 hole victory was the greatest of all time, but it was certainly the best golf tournament I’ve ever viewed, topping even Tiger’s 2006 victory at Hoylake in the Open Championship (in my view Tiger’s greatest victory because of his mastery of strategy and shotmaking, until today). How Tiger was able to overcome his very painful surgically-repaired knee and lack of practice will be the stuff of legend in an already legendary career.
SI has an excellent article on Tiger’s victory in Woods outlasts Mediate to win his 14th major.
