and my personal favorite major. Of course, the big story is Tiger's knee rehab and how he's easily navigated the course in the past. Some of my personal picks for a winner are Geoff Ogilvy and Padraig Harrington.

Top 25 after 1st Round:
T1 Justin Hicks -3
T1 Kevin Streelman -3
T3 Rocco Mediate -2
T3 Stuart Appleby -2
T3 Eric Axley -2
T3 Geoff Ogilvy -2
T7 Rickie Fowler -1
T7 Robert Karlsson -1
T7 Lee Westwood -1
T7 Robert Allenby -1
T7 Ernie Els -1
T12 Patrick Sheehan E
T12 Joe Ogilvie E
T12 Phil Mickelson E
T12 Carl Pettersson E
T12 Andres Romero E
T12 Vijay Singh E
T12 Luke Donald E
T19 Kyle Stanley +1
T19 Casey Wittenberg +1
T19 Dustin Johnson +1
T19 Oliver Wilson +1
T19 Woody Austin +1
T19 Tiger Woods +1
Hicks is a Nationwide Tour regular and Streelman is a PGA Tour rookie. It's nice to see guys who aren't used to being on the leaderboard up there for a change. It's what the U.S. Open is all about, IMO.

Tiger's hurtin.
I'd like to see Mediate win it.

One of the things that I really like about the US Open is the playoff format. That and the rough. :evillaugh:

I normally don't follow golf at all, but Rocco Mediate is from a town very close to where I went to HS.
His uncle cuts my mom's hair. :-)
I really hope he wins, and even if he doesn't, it was really cool to see him do so well.

I watched some of the coverage yesterday. It had been a while since I had watched a golfing match on TV. I had forgotten how silly the commentators are. All day they give Tiger a tongue-bath, and then at the first sign of weakness, they turn to Rocco for adoration. Fickle bunch, aren't they?
I'm rooting for the underdog.

That's our problem -- the U.S. is Open! We need to close it, and soon, else we will be overrun!!!!!
What's that?
Sports? What sport?
Golf is a sport? No way!!! Golf may be athletics but it ain't no sport. Sports need offense and defense.
Oh well -- as you were...

You realize if he wins this, everyone else should just quit the game.

What happens if they tie in the playoff round?

Nevermind. I just heard. Sudden death, people!!

I know. The (British) Open is his strongest tournament. He will be the favorite. Of the four majors, the Open is the hardest. IMO, it will be his 2nd major this year.
