Tiger Vs. Rocco

After a grueling Sunday in San Diego, Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate will go one more round, as they prepare today for a rare US Open playoff. Woods forced the playoff with a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation.

The story of the day, rather than the one-on-one matchup, will be Tiger's left knee. He has been battling his surgically-repaired knee for the entire tournament, and over the course of the third and fourth rounds, it seemed as though the knee was winning. Somehow, Woods managed to hold things together well enough to force a playoff.

Now, the story becomes can he be effective enough on Monday to defeat Rocco Mediate?
