Closer than anyone predicted

BBC SPORT | Golf | Woods seals dramatic US Open win

At one stage when Woods had a three shot lead at the halfway stage, it looked liked the play-off was going to be a typically dull affair. As soon as Mediate birdied the 15th to take a one shot lead, then I did start to wonder if Woods might actually lose. The back nine was excellent with both players going head to head like in matchplay.

When Woods birdied the 18th to force sudden death, it did seem that Mediate had had his chance. Mediate couldn’t do anymore than have three birdies on the back nine. Playing Tiger Woods means you need even more than playing brilliantly, you have to reach God like status and Mediate is only human. I’m not sure Woods is though.
