MAGNIFICENT!
 
Instead of my standard districting CM window open on my office PC, I had the Open on today. Thought it was over for Rocco, after 10. Thought it was over for Tiger after 16. Sorry to see it end. Amazing. It was difficult to pull for Tiger against a Piasan but I hope Tiger wins at least 20 Majors before he's done.

Great day for golf, and I hope Rocco gets a chance to play for the Ryder cup team, although it will be a long shot. He looked like he had a lot more fun than Tiger.

Can't wait to get home to watch the TIVO'd version on the big screen.

If I had just waited till after the post match interviews I could have skipped the whole seemingy thing....What class acts these two guys were it was a shame one of them had to lose...

Either ESPN or NBC has the whole thing on their website, sorry not sure which one was saying that because it was on both channels.

I loved watching them all 5 days, amazing the way the lead kept changing and Tiger kept pulling through when he had too.  Rocco was such a gentleman and good sport, it was a pleasure to watch.

Status: offline 		The thing is, Tiger was just out of knee surgery less than three weeks before this? Rocco must really feel, although he only lost by a single stroke, to have been handed his ass... If Tiger had been his usual self, I doubt Rocco would have gotten so very close...

Still, probably the most exciting game of golf I've seen in fifteen years! They could make a Roland Emerich movie out of this one!
