Being a fairly new golf fan, I didn't know about the battle between Tiger and Rocco at 2008 US Open. It is a Fox Sports Series documentary and really well made. Mad respect for Rocco. I figured the GB may enjoy it.

Oh by the way, Tiger had a torn ACL all tournament.

If you didn’t know.

They talk about that in the documentary. It sounds like it was partially torn going into the tournament. On Friday, he hit a ball way right and had to stand on the concrete, with golf shoes, and play his ball. He hits a ball within 25 feet of the pin but completely tore his ACL on that swing. His caddie told him to withdraw and he said "frick you. I am winning this tournament".

Also on the Monday playoff Rocco wore a red shirt to play in. He gets to the first tee and Tiger says "Nice fricking shirt".

If I could go back and attend any sporting event, that would be the one. Incredible.

Rocco was a badass for going toe to toe with Tiger while everyone expected him to get destroyed. It was an incredible tournament.
