June 2008's US Open produced one of the most unexpected and
dramatic showdowns in golf history. Day after day the
invincible Tiger Woods was challenged by Rocco Mediate, a
respected journeyman. On Sunday, both ended play tied at
par, forcing a playoff. Defying expectations, Mediate
played Woods to yet another tie, losing only after forcing
a sudden-death showdown.
Through it all, Rocco Mediate emerged as one of the most
likable, open, and fascinating golfers. In ARE YOU KIDDING
ME?, he tells the full story of these five life-changing
days. With John Feinstein, whose insider knowledge of the
golf world is unparalleled, Mediate relives one of sport's
greatest feats, how one man overcame every obstacle to
challenge the game's finest.
