Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

According to plan

June

Tiger Woods continues to drain putts as Rocco Mediate misses out on opportunities. Tiger is now three shots ahead at even-par through 10 holes, while Mediate is at +3.

It’s also interesting that Rocco chose a red shirt when it’s kind of become an unwritten rule that Tiger is the only one allowed to wear red in the final round. Maybe 18-hole playoffs don’t count.

I remember someone Tiger was playing with in the final round wearing red just one other time. That occurred when Luke Donald wore red at the 2006 PGA Championship at Medinah. Donald entered the round tied, but by the ninth hole, he trailed Tiger by five shots. Mediate could be headed for a similar fate, but something tells me Rocco will make things a little more interesting today.

A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
