Remember how this morning I was complaining about the lack of drama in most U.S. Open 18-hole playoffs?
Never mind.

Agreed. This has been must see TV.
Who didn't shed a tear for Rocco today??
He had his chances.
Two outstanding overtime matches on two Mondays within 14 days.
Sports is good.
I didn't shed a tear, and I'm pretty sure you didn't either Islander. But I was rooting for him.
Neil, not sure if you saw my comment on your previous PGA blog, but great comment.
Ah - another day of getting no work done. This was fantastic televison - even over the internet while at work. This combine dwith Euro 2008 make sit tough to get anything done.
Fantastic finish today - bravo to both guys. Great coverage by ESPN/NBC.
I did Richie. Thanks!
This was the exception that proves the rule. Most 18 hole playoffs are anti-climatic and boring. Hell, this one was thought to be that way after 10 holes. The four hole playoff is the best as it keeps the monentum of the last round going and is not as likely to be decided on one lucky shot, see Larry Mize's Master's win, as the sudden death format.
