Commentators and "analysts" are extremely overpaid, underworked, and usually filled with a bias🤷‍♂️

How? Because they said that he hadn’t won a tournament in 2 years? They were doing a side by side comparison…

@@anthonybaratta6152 “he looks like he cleans tigers swimming pool”. How nice of them

@@JesseOnYT bro… would you be able to pick out Rocco Mediate from a crowd if he was wearing a shirt that said I’m Rocco Mediate? I certainly wouldn’t… He does look like someone who cleans Tigers swimming pool… it’s a compliment to the tournament that someone kinda more ordinary is able to compete with a legend of the game… and to Rocco too

Johnny Miller did. Said he looks like he should be cleaning Tigers pool, and guys with the name Rocco don't have their name on the trophy. He is always an ass who thinks he can go out and do it better.

"he looks like he would be cleaning tiger woods pool" biggest diss ever on national television... and nothing is done about it to the distasteful commentator.

@@johnzaky2254 I agree, this is unbelievable! Imagine if the tables were turned and he would have said this about Tiger?!? There would've been a riot!

The type of golfer I love to play with. Me & my golf buddies have a good time during our round & keep it fun.

@@johnzaky2254 I agree. That was the most fucking dick head comment, ridiculous.

Yeah Rocco is the man

I am old. It was beautiful in live😉

Rocco was a Tour journeyman...good player...he should have won this Open, but didn't take his opportunities...seems like he was happy to come second

Rocco used to be an honorary member of the golf club I play at, met him a couple times as a kid and he was awesome

@@pauljcross2289think he was a little better than a tour journeyman plus won majors on the senior tour.

Just recently won senior pga championship in 2016

It's going to be at Torrey again next year!

Yessir Torrey pines it is GO ROCCO

@@Wyatt_Ali he didn't win the open?

Normal player, great person.

A-fucking-man he made Tiger sweat and he will always be part of the greatest golf match in modern history.

Robin Lundqvist The reason why we love golf. Looking forward to the Players championship tomorrow.

@Phillip Oliver Holtz I agree 100%. Rocco played great but almost only counts in horseshoes. Lol. Tiger was just better in the end.

Well said.

@@david-marineveteran4548 Yes , it only took 91 holes to separate them... Going toe to toe with the greatest of all time at age 45 is still a remarkable achievement, whether he took home the trophy or not is irrelevant.

Absolutely! My favorite thing about him is his self awareness and humbleness. He knows he's in the middle of an historical golf tournament and Rocco was truly living in the moment. And his hilarious reactions to his shots that wowed us fans and gave us one of the most exciting U.S. Open ever!

it gave rocco the platform so everyone could see how fun he is

Did some business with him a couple years back. He's a really cool guy. Very humble.

Seems like an indredibly wholesome man

Can someone tell me the injury playing golf u can get that's bs

This is still my favorite US Open

I wish there were more Sportsman like Rocco Mediate

No question.

A gentleman

Rocco is a class act.

Absolute dignity and class, carries himself very well. What a beauty

No kidding

I know right...what a fucking asshole. he was chirping Rocco almost every day of the tournament

Miller was Nicklaus's bitch.

Really class-less.

..Miller was raised a spoiled brat and is just not a nice guy..what a dick..

Ser Davos Seaworth really so charismatic

He smoked cigars during the '16 Senior PGA & won! Cool as a cucumber

Scott Hall

Couple of things 1- Mediate looks younger in the recent interview than he does playing the tournament and 2- He seems like a really good guy, really honest, friendly but driven.

What a beauty

Michael Madden he got it brother!

Hes just got to get another major now, hopefully a good 2019 for Tiger

@rosemary z everybody makes mistakes he paid for his. chill

rosemary z hey Rosemary shouldn’t you be at bingo or something old lady. Sorry you’re miserable

rosemary z what does his personal life have to do with his performance on a golf course ? I bet you have skeletons in your personal life that the whole world doesn’t criticizes at his level

It kinda broke my heart at the part where he missed the putt and said "I'm very much a normal player." He was a great player for 89 holes and normal for the last 2

Rocco isn't a normal player, he is a GREAT player. Name one unknown who could go 4 rounds AND one against Woods AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Yeah, I'm not a golf fan typically. I'm watching a lot of these sorts of recaps and retellings of great golf moments lately, and I'm thinking of getting into golf this spring and summer. As a neophyte, I'm really shocked at how the announcers openly slagged a player like this. Especially when the guy seems to be an absolute gentleman. Rocco's story is amazing. Coming from his background, and there he is going blow for blow with frikkin Tiger Woods. That's worth mentioning. But the announcers seem to have morphed from being amazed at Rocco's story, to including subtle barbs in their comments, to just crossing the fuckin line altogether. No need of this. The commentators should be reprimanded.

Rocco has one of the worst swings I have ever seen...he got hot and he did hold it together for one week, during the U.S. Open, but he proved he was what he was...the 154th ranked player in the world.

I think you're 100% right. It's absurd.

I can see what you mean. Its all marketing for tiger it seemed

holy shit, I didn't realize it was 45 minutes

Me too mate!! Brilliant stuff.

Same Sam matheson it was such a well edited video

holy shit thought it was 10 mins.

Jose Lopez lol

Blair Malfara so much better than the DVD

So true!

Completely agree

Except it cuts out Westwood from Sunday he was in the same spot as tiger

@@TheLocalLt Haha yeah, true, but this tourny was all about Rocco and Tiger. I love Lee too, but it makes sense.

Rocco is a class act.

👍💯

It’s insane Tiger won this, Rocco did everything, just shows what a monster Tiger truly was.

“Nice f--ing shirt.”

I haven't seen Tiger play on a Monday any other time. Does he always wear red on Monday too?

Rodney King he wears red on whatever day the tournament is concluding. If a tournament is Friday-Monday (holiday weekend) he does not wear red on Sunday, but Monday instead. Same concept here, except he wore red on both Sunday and Monday because he could have won it either day

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbicZrp4urm7lYU.html 👈👈👈

Just not a great golfer. In his own words and career stats.

@@Chazaq he was a professional golfer. Wtf are you on that he isn’t a good golfer

@@tsmidds8137 Wait until you're off your monthly cycle to respond.

@@Chazaq damn dude, you get into a lot of confrontations. Lol

And not only that, but I love how he wore red on the final match. Brain games. Guy is a legend just for this tourney.

Rocco is a great but he isn't Tiger especially in Tigers rampage on Major's and event's period!! He might have Me Jack's record but in my lifetime he's the Best ever!! Some would say the GOAT!! ALL FACTS

Being classy doesn't make you great. He's completely right when he says there's only been a handful of greats. You can't start sticking players like Rocco under the category of 'great' or else you'll have a mess.

Curtis W totally agree, great guy, great sportsmanship and as nice as it would be to put Rocco on a list of greats for all those reasons if you do, you’d have to put a lot of other guys. Next thing you know you’ll have a list of greats that’s watered down. To be clear I’m a big Rocco fan too but he’s not on the level of greats, best sides a great guy list

Did you miss the part where he questioned whether Tiger was even hurt, despite having multiple surgeries after this?

Same on all counts!

Same here

Pete Matuszak me too bro Me too

86 Masters is better, IMO. This is #2.

Pete Matuszak..I was crying tears of joy too. Love Tiger & Rocco gets his pops too!!💕

It's up there with the 1993 Open Championship for me.

Well said

That was a pretty low comment wasnt it. Rocco was so nice and cool he didn't deserve those comments. Felt so bad for him

Big facts, I thought the same thing

The golf announcers are more smug than any of the pro golfers.

Ah, back when you could say something people don't agree with or like, and you wouldn't lose your lively hood over it. What a wonderful time we've lost.

Something was done, Johnny Miller is gone

no

I lived it in '08. every shot, took Monday off to see the playoff. They can never make another like this. amazing, Both great competitors, Tiger, so gracious, Rocco a chance to win the US open against the greatest player of our generation or ever. A story they should make a movie about.

"Tiger and Rocco" sounds like some boxing match

There isn’t any other story like this though

What's Inside? I love you guys!

Agreed. It was great and so was 1999.

Rocco meant those words. A student of the game. No one else says those words if their him, though. Rocco is a cool guy and honest. He knew his game so well. Just couldn’t beat Superman’s last stand (before his epic Masters last year). But he isn’t Superman on the golf course. Just an old smart wore down athlete. It’s the smart and determined that won last year. Gone is brute force of nature that he once was.

Anthony Kernich I would’ve missed the whole playoff if it was 3 holes on a monday in the middle of the day

the playoff will be straight after the 72nd hole now

yes.

The open will be determined by a 2 hole aggregate score starting 2018

playoff too long & unnecessary

Justin Fleites definitely not one of the hardest courses in the world. Played Torrey pines many of times and it’s not crazy difficult. Yes the conditions are way different for us open but it’s layout is not too difficult

Simon McQuinn not difficult?? Are you crazy. They finished -1 after 4 rounds. A normal golf course they would be at -15 or more. The low scores represents the high difficulty of this course

@@michaelmcneffii1912 don't waste your breath on these 10 handicappers

@@michaelmcneffii1912 Torrey Pines is not one of the hardest courses in the world and it's not even close. I played it and I have played a lot of different golf courses and its not one of the hardest. US Open courses are always made hard because they make the rough very difficult to get out of and speed the greens up. The layout of Torrey is not that difficult. -1 over 4 rounds is because of the rough and speed of the greens. If Augusta National would grow it's rough out it would be an extremely hard course.

And people forget he's (Johnny) the one that gave up the game because of the yips - I'm serious.

I agree. He's a jerk off

I hope they fired him

Johnny Miller, could you try to be happy for the winners in the world?

Simon McQuinn...I agree wholeheartedly!

Absolute the way it was, that level of excitement has not been dublicated since. Kind of what michael jordan was for the nba.

no you didn’t 🙈🙉

Lie

🧢

Rocco is greater because he deferred. That's a bit of class there.

Just honest truth from Rocco. He is normal player who had amazing weekend and great run.

@@jonsinkkonen9393 Rocco and all PGA tour Pro's are more then normal players. You have to be a great golfer just to make it onto the tour.

@@jonsinkkonen9393 He's a normal tour player lol, not a normal player. Normal tour player >>> scratch golfer

I think Rocco would have rather have won the tournament then just respect. If he would have beat Tiger he would have gotten even more respect.

It wasn't great golf...the Phil-Stenson duel at Troon around 2015 was epic

But I heard he had 3 legs to start with.

Challenging Tiger. The greatness of Rocco

Hi Andre , Its my pleasure to meet you

True first thing I thought 😉✌

It sounds like a 60's comic strip from the Sunday funnies. Lol

Couple of things 1- Mediate looks younger in the recent interview than he does playing the tournament and 2- He seems like a really good guy, really honest, friendly but driven.

Very very very low!!

Without question. But his idea of greatness is relative to those already great players.

I think a [golfer] is a player who passed Q school, so that would explain why he doesn't consider himself a great golfer

@jayc650 no one asked dude

Knowing the difficulty of the game I’d say if you can break 80 more than 90% of the time you’re a great golfer and have the basis to go pro in some regard. If you can reach that point you can pretty much continually improve until scratch or better 🤷‍♂️

😁😁😁

Good call, Aaron! Agree that Masters W is one of the best all-time moments in any sport.

Wow

A friend of mine has been saying for over 5 years that if he won again it would be the masters. He also said if he wins one again that jack's record is in jeopardy. Hopefully he is right

Not only was it possible it happened 2019 masters,,,,hell yea

True. I meant in general, most average golf fans may not be able to name a winner for a particular year (for example, I've been to three, and I can't name the winners), but they should remember the time Rocco came close. And I can't remember all of TW's Masters wins, but I'll definitely remember this year's. @cpk1994

Tom Perri and that’s why he did not win

@@alanross2876 He's a "normal" successful TOUR PLAYER. In terms of golfing talent, compared to the masses, he is EXTRAORDINARY. BTW, He's won 22 million dollars playing golf for a living. That is far from "normal" in any regard. tbh

@@alanross2876 lol he's a tour pro, he is one of the most elite golfers in the world...truly je is better than 99.8% of the world...the other .02% are the rest of the tour pros...

Griffin Patterson Tigers not the greatest of all time, he's the greatest of a generation but there is a big difference.

@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 If Tiger was the goat he wouldn't be chasing down the most coveted record in professional golf and last I checked it's still Major Tournament victories. 18>14

@Fortnite Clips what's there to talk about? He was hurt and hasn't broken Jack's record, end of discussion. If you grew up watching Tiger and think he's the best hey that's cool but the facts don't lie 18 > 14

@@the6ig6adwolf But I don't think who is the greatest of all time comes down to 1 record.

Get a room :D

Don't forget the Sportsmanship of Rocko!, a great guy all around! I would be very proud to say that Rocko was a friend of mine!
