So say Rocco does win today, how many runner up finishes would that be for Tiger in the majors? IIRC Nicklaus won 18 majors and had 9 runner up finishes. Tiger would have to be getting close to that number of runner up finishes. It's pretty amazing that given how broad the field is, how different the courses are set up in these majors that he always seems to find a way to be at the top of the leader board.

Still I hope for Rocco to pull it off today. If he can I would hope that most don't talk about Woods coming off surgery and playing on one knee and how he would have killed the field instead of Mediate being a 45 year old guy who hits the ball 260 yards winning the US Open on the longest course in history. Thats why I love golf....you get guys into their 40's who can still come out and win these big tournaments on occasion. Gives me hope that I can still get better at the game despite my advanced age.
