Chris Cantell Discusses Sports: Woods outlasts Mediate for third Open, 14th major
by Radka Konkolova

Another big golf tournament finished and the whole world has already known who is the winner of this prestige event. Th e meridian of this year U.S. Open came true this Monday and it had to be really interesting and of course mainly very thrilling. Probably the whole tournament floated in that mind, while it lasted longer than it is usually used to, because there were two players on the top with the same amount of points. This 108th annual set of U.S. Open was played at San Diego's Torrey Pines. The rivals, who met each other in this struggle, were the world's one Tiger Woods, who has already won 14 Major tournaments and Rocco Mediate, who wanted to become the oldest U.S. Open champion and who could be the first player fighting the winning position of this tournament from the position of the second hundred in the world scale. But unfortunately for him, nothing of the kind happened. So as we all have certainly already noticed, Tiger Woods became a winner after a long and uphill play. Because of the problems with the cartilage in his left knee, on which there had to be surgery, he is not in as good trim as everybody is accustomed. It is because his knee has caused him the terrible pain with every hit. In spite of this fact he was doing well during the whole tournament, except of the semi-final day when fortune wasn't at his face. But finally he succeed to finish at the same place as his rival and compatriot, Mediate. But also Rocco Mediate fought bravely in order to get dreamed the trophy. I think everybody from the spectators at Torrey Pines was so excited, zealous and maybe also bit surprised and some of them maybe didn't know who to cheer more. Anyway, certainly all the US was happy that the trophy would stay “at home” while both rivals are Americans. The problems with the Woods' knee don't back up, vice versa. Probably he will miss the coming British Open and he is still not sure whether he will sometimes play this sport. One thing is true. The leg was loaded during the whole tournament as well as during trainings few days before the start of the event, so now it needs relaxation and abandon to recover. And what about the next year U.S. Open, this is still not sure. But Mediate will certainly take part in it and try to achieve the trophy, better position in the scale and come back to the top. Maybe for the last time...
