18 More For Monday

Did you catch the final (er, next-to-final) round of the US Open today? It featured yet another classic Tiger Woods comeback (on one good knee), and ended with a tie between Woods and Rocco Mediate. The two will play an 18-hole playoff tomorrow.



If you're a golf enthusiast (or even just a general sports fan) you should check out the new HBO documentary Back Nine at Cherry Hill: The Legends of the 1960 US Open. I watched it this morning and was impressed by the film's ability to not only tell the story of the thrilling moments of the tournament, but also to tell the stories of the three main competitors - Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus. And it does all of this in just one hour.
