PLEASE TELL ME YOU WATCHED THAT!!!!!!!!!

Folks, I'm spent. Just absolutely spent and I couldn't imagine how Tiger and Rocco Mediate feel at this moment. If you did miss the US Open, you missed the absolute greatest golf tournament EVER!!!!!!!!

It had everything and anything a golf tournament could ask for. I'm still at a loss for words because we've seen Tiger do so many amazing things in the past that you just have to wonder how he still does it? Not to mention, everyone, including Rocco Mediate, knew he was gonna make that birdie putt to force the playoff.

The playoff was just a continuation of the best reality show we've ever seen. Everything was real. The theater, the drama, the pain, the crowd, the guts, the grit. I can't say it enough but it was the greatest spectacle we might ever see. I hope I don't offend any traditionalists because I don't know enough about the tournaments of the past but that was the best of the best. The 18 hole playoff (or should I say 19 hole playoff?) could have been a rout when Rocco made bogey on the 1st hole and Tiger made par but they both grinded out an awesome round that needed to go an extra hole.

I didn't forget about Bob May at Valhalla in the 2000 PGA Championship. That was the playoff where Tiger actually chased the birdie putt into the hole and pointed in what has become my all time favorite putt. Because that was probably my favorite up until this point. But honestly, that doesn't hold a candle to what we were priveleged to witness this weekend into Monday. Neither guy would back down and both were on the ropes a bunch of times.

Rocco Mediate is a fan favorite who was the perfect adversary to Tiger. He was the right guy because he was ecstatic to be there and you knew he wouldn't let Tiger get in his head like he does with anyone he plays with. In fact, the fans were rooting for Rocco more so than Tiger on the back nine. They were whistling the theme from 'Rocky' as he was walking to the tee on a few holes on the back nine. Rocco even had a set of balls by wearing Tiger's Sunday colors which was just awesome.

But more than anything, the fans were rooting for golf. They just wanted more golf and so did I. This is an instant classic and will be talked about for the rest of our lives. Once again, just appreciate what we've gotten to witness.

On a side note, it won't be talked about but Lee Westwood hung with Tiger all day sunday finishing only one stroke back when he parred the 18th. He didn't implode due to being paired with Tiger in the final round as most guys do. He deserves a bit of accolades but got lost in the theater of Rocco and Tiger.

Wow, I'm still exhausted but I'll always remember the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines, or simply 'The Greatest Golf Tournament Ever'.
