But I'm going to say it and you guys can rip away....
Yes Rocco is 45/46, yes Tiger is the best player in the world BUT
Rocco just blew the fuck out of the US Open opportunity. It's his one and only shot left. The years are gaining on him, Tiger has lots left in the tank. Rocco has to nail the opportunity when the opportunity is there. There were several putts yesterday that could have put Tiger away. You give him the opportunity to tie you and he will. Tiger has done it time and time again, you gotta know that when the 18th hole rolls around, he's going to get it done.
Ditto for today, 18th hole, you have a 1 shot lead. Tiger ain't layin up here so your best shot is get your 3rd shot close and make the putt. So Rocco had one shot today and one shot only to win the US Open Championship. That one shot came in the form of a 15 foot birdie putt on the 18th, make that and you are US Open Champ. Miss it and you will lose.
The opportunity was blown.
