why not ?

hey – the crowds aren’t going to be quite as big, and Tiger’s knee has another day of abuse tacked on. Rocco is going to have a good following in the gallery, so he won’t be alone out there, which usually happens to whomever Tiger is playing with. And face it – Rocco is having a ball – the pressure isn’t likely to freeze him the way it might most other guys. Rocco has a decent chance on Monday.

You have to love the guy. Before Tiger hit his approach, he said, “let’s see what happens.” When Tiger’s approach stopped on the green, he said, “we’re playing tomorrow.” Then he meets Tiger between the green and the scorer’s table for a handshake and congratulations ? That’s pure class.

"this ball will fit in that fairway"
