If there was any doubt as to whether or not Tiger Woods was ready to play in the US Open, the golf phenom made everyone a believer on Sunday when he sunk a 12-foot birdie on the 18th hole to finish the tournament tied for first. But the bigger story coming out of San Diego over the weekend belonged to Rocco Mediate, who finds himself in an 18-hole playoff situation on Monday against Woods.

“It’s just the most amazing display of athletic, mental power that there is, there ever was,” said Mediate of Tiger Woods’ birdie putt. “Look at him. He hasn’t played in 10 weeks. There’s no surprise to me, but he hasn’t played for 10 weeks! And he comes here. So I’m not surprised. I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow.”

Woods currently leads Mediate by one shot as the two head down the back nine at the US Open Torrey Pines in San Diego.
