The sportsmanship of Rocco was incredible, and the commentators still did him dirty.

Never heard of Rocco before this. Granted I’m only 19. Became a fan after watching this, Rocco showed a level of competitiveness and class that is rare

Just watching this, hearing Rocco by the end go: i’m just a normal player... hell no, no normal player goes home to tell the family i almost beat Tiger Woods in one of the greatest head 2 head battles in golf. Walking in to 90+ holes. That sir is a Amazing golfer. U.S Open champion or not. Two amazing Champions in my book. Absolutly amazing Golf.

Rocco is 100% a class act! I was there working for the USGA from the first day on and I will have to say it was an epic battle. I will cherish that opportunity forever.

Quick Rocco story - I was 11 and went to a WGC event in Mount Juliet, in Ireland. I followed a bunch of groups for the day including Sergio Garcia and Rocco. At the end of the day, we were just leaving and there were some caddies in the river fishing and I noticed Rocco sitting by the shore watching him. I went down said hello, and he was such a nice dude. That day, Sergio got pretty pissed about a bad putt and broke his putter mid round. I brought it up to Rocco and we had a good laugh about it. Was a lovely interaction, still remember it today. Cheers Rocco!

Rocco may be a "normal" player, but he sure is an exceptional person. Thank you Rocky.

Rocco, you might not be a 'great' player in your own estimations, but you're a fantastic human being, and a wonderful sportsman, who made this tournament the magical event it was.
