No chance for Mediocre .. I mean Mediate

[rake922]

whats the hank webber line? and go

[SlickFazzer]

Nope.

[dwaechte]

Odds up already, Tiger -300. I bet it hits -350 by tee off tomorrow, no way Tiger loses over 18 holes.

[BeatTheJerk]

Probably even higher dwaetche

[BeatTheJerk]

i might even lay the 1-3 odds

[Tchocky]

I'm rooting for Rocco but I think he's done. Unbelievable putt by Tiger on the 72nd hole. Absolutely amazing.

[Panic]

Yes. Tiger's knee is done.

[WonTooManyBets]

Tiger needed back to back good shots and of course he does it, amazing.

[youngsc]

Simply amazing. Only way tiger will lose is if he messes the tee shot up on the first playoff hole.

[Panic]

He's gonna try to go 5 rounds on his knee? Good Luck. He's already in massive pain. Give me Rocco +money.

They play 18 holes, not 1.

Haha, already at -377.

[youngsc]

They play 18 holes, not 1.

It's an 18 hole playoff? Oh hell my error.

My post should have said mediate has no chance in hell then.

[MJFtheGenius]

I am taking Mediate

Agreed

[MJFtheGenius]

Tiger will be feeling to sore

he will not hold up

[bettilimbroke999]

Tiger will be feeling to sore

he will not hold up

will need his D game to destroy Mediate heads up tomorrow

[MJFtheGenius]

Mediate is playing this course well

he is a pro golfer

all of these guys are good

he can win and at +300 I like his chances

[Wheell]

My math suggests Tiger -270 is fair value. It is only one round and tiger should be less than a 3 stroke favorite. Mediate is a live dog with a potential free roll is Tiger's knee completely gives out.

[brock]

I donn't think Rocco has ever lost in a play off. With that said.
NO CHANCE IN HELL!

[corleone0828]

I would take tiger in a wheel chair over mediate

[TheLock]

Rocco won't be intimidated by Woods. He may get outplayed but he won't be intimidated. Plenty of tall rough that get Tiger in a bind.

If you can get a real juicy price on Rocco I love that play.

I mean seriously, how many miracle up and downs for birdie can Tiger make in one week?


Really lookin forward to tommorow.

Tiger had the lead going into today. Take a look where Rocco was. And it took Tiger to make a putt on 18 to send it to a playoff. And you guys think Rocco is scared....intimidated... Let's see what happens, boys. I'll take Rocco.

[MJFtheGenius]

going to hit the links tommorow morning

then going to watch Rocco win me money

full golf day what it better then that

Good post.

Not sure if I will bet this or pass. The +330ish is tempting in what is now a match play. As great as Tiger is, he is closer to just good in match play. Of course this is the US Open and not some Ryder Mower match play.

[picantel]

My book has tiger -375 and rocco +275. seems like the book is putting a screw job down with those odds difference

[Richkas]

No fukkin way

no way

I have a butt load of data on what to expect from Mediate tomorrow but any expectation on Tiger has to be a guess. Pain really can help a person putt better (pain can help us focus... perhaps our ancestors benefited from extreme concentration when in pain), but he is CLEARLY inaccurate when driving. The course is incredibly odd in that if you miss by a little bit, the punishment is small, you miss by a medium amount the punishment is harsh, and if you miss by a ton the punishment is usually small (but occasionally deadly).

Mediate is not in Tiger's league normally but I estimate his O/U tomorrow should be a hair over 73.5 (assuming the course set up is mild), and Tiger's ou is hair under 70.5. Because Tiger is unusually variant he should only be a 2.5 stroke favorite tomorrow, and has to be considered less than a 3-1 favorite. -350 is a joke and even Tiger would admit that. He isn't healthy.

Staring down Tiger in matchplay for the US Open is a very difficult thing to do, especially for a player so much shorter of the tee. The crowds move as soon as Woods putt goes in (ignoring his playing partner who has yet to putt) in order to get a position to see Tiger hit on the next hole, Tiger deals with galleries that are 5x what any other player has to deal with everytime he tees it up and they are all there to watch him win and make great shots, not to watch Mediate bunt it down the middle. It will be very hard for Mediate to overcome all that, it is very similar to when Goosen played Brooks in a playoff at Southern Hills in 2001, heads up in matchplay Brooks simply could not generate the type of energy and great shots it takes to knockout a talent like Goosen even though for 4 days of the US Open they ended with a tied score.
