Woods vs. Mediate
 June 18, 2008, 8:38 am (1 year ago)Tiger Woods sunk a twelve foot birdie putt on the final hole on Sunday to send the US Open to 18-hole showdown against Rocco Mediate.
Woods will be trying to gain his 14th major title since the surgery on his left knee two months ago. Meanwhile, Mediate is placed 157th in the world, 156 spots behind his opponent, and trying to become the oldest-ever winner in the US Open.
“I get to play for the national Open against the best player on earth; that maybe has ever played, how much more could you ask for? I couldn't be happier.” said Mediate.
To become the first US professional Golf Association Tour player to win seven tournaments, Woods was listed as the 3-10 favorite with OddsChecker.com. He walked away winning during the Buick Invitational held at the Torrey Pines course in 1999 and 2003 and from 2005 to 2008.
“I'm playing against a monster,” said Mediate.
Mediate is 14-5 with OddsChecker.com to take the title after finishing one shot under par for the four rounds and shooting an even-par 71 for the final day with three birdies and three bogeys.
“I get to play against the best player that ever played. Whatever happens, happens. I'm happy that I'm here and I will give it everything I have and see what we do.”
