Synopsis Pro golfer Rocco Mediate tells his side of the story of the 2008 U.S. Open, when he matched a hobbled Tiger Woods shot for shot for five amazing days in one of the most memorable showdowns in PGA history. Mediate's golf career prior to the 2008 Open was entirely unremarkable, but he emerged from obscurity to challenge the world's greatest golfer, Tiger Woods, who later revealed that he was playing with a double stress fracture and torn ligaments in his left leg. On both Sunday and Monday, Mediate had a one-stroke lead after completing his round, only to watch Tiger make a pair of treacherous birdie putts on the 18th hole to force a play-off. Teaming with John Feinstein, who may be the Tiger Woods of golf writers, Mediate reveals the fascinating details of the most unforgettable tournament of his career.
