Synopsis
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.

Pittsburgh Still Loves Rocco!!!by Polski

November 18, 2009: Excellent reading on my trip to and from Rome, Italy! Being from the Pittsburgh area, Rocco maintains the never give up attitude common to Pittsburgh, and John Feinstein brought it out once again very well. Maybe Johnnie Miller needs to read this book before he shoots off his mouth again about "the pool attendant" taking on Tiger!!!!
