longball53098 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I for one will openly say thank you to Truevisions for changing their schedule to show the Tiger and Rocco 18 hole playoff for the winner of the US Open Golf Tournament. Shortly after the finish this morning I contacted Truevisions by phone and email. I received at least 3 mails regarding the changes to show the playoff. Here is a copy of the last one telling me indeed they would have the playoff "live." Dear Sir, Please be advised that US Open play off will be showing tonight, 16/06/08 at 23.00 on TrueSport 66. Thank you for your kindness and continued support. Write us again whenever we can be of further help to you.

Canadianvisitor Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I do hope Rocco makes a go of it. I don't dislike Tiger, but it is a great story for Rocco. He is such a nice and honest person and his enthusiasm is in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Rocco! Rocco! He is great and he hung in there! Tiger is Tiger and he did it again. Great round of golf and I watched the whole thing on "Truevisions" , live and in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Great performance by Rocco (and what a genuinely nice guy), but - wow - Tiger. He's not just a player; he is truly a phenomena. Watching him over the last 3 days with those clutch putts has been a privilege. It's been like watching history happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominchaam Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Longball – thanks a lot for the original information. Yeah – it was a great match to watch even if Rocco did not turn up as winner. Normally being second means forgotten pretty soon – but this time it means he will be remembered for a long time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The U.S. Open coverage was fantastic via ESPN/Star Sports, ESPN and NBC. I actually liked the ESPN announcers and the international overlay better than the primetime NBC crew; Johnny Miller can be a little grating (smart, insightful, observant, but grating still) I'm tempted to go back to the Thai commentary sometimes! I did hate all the breaks here, sometimes they (TrueVisions) cut away in mid-swing, but what can you do. Congratulations to both players, it's nice to have an American win after the last four years. I'm always amazed that European players can't seem to win this most difficult of major championships, the last being Tony Jacklin in 1970. Also good that Tiger got off the thirteen peg, will be interesting to see if he's in full form for the Open Championship ( 17 - 20 July, Royal Birkdale ) and the PGA Championship ( 7 - 10 August, Oakland Hills ).
