Rocco Anthony Mediate (born December 17, 1962) is an American professional golfer.
Mediate was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He attended Florida Southern College and turned professional in 1985.
Mediate's career has been dogged by back trouble and he started using a long putter early on because of this. In 1991 he became the first player to win on the PGA Tour using a long putter when he won the Doral-Ryder Open. He picked up another victory at the 1993 KMart Greater Greensboro Open, but he then had a long lay off due to a ruptured disk, but returned to the Tour in 1996 playing under a special medical extension and performed steadily. He picked up wins on the Tour in 1999, 2000 and 2002. He worked hard to improve his fitness to minimise his back problems, and in 2003 returned to using a conventional putter. He has featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings. At the 2006 Masters, Mediate was in contention to win the event on the final day until he took a septuple-bogey ten on the par three 12th hole.
On October 9, 2006, it was announced that Rocco would become an on-course reporter for The Golf Channel's 2007 PGA Tour coverage. He played in the 2005 World Series of Poker's Main Event, as well as the 2001 Blem Classic of Las Vegas. He is also a distant cousin of D.C. United footballer Domenic Mediate.[1]

San Diego
John Ellis wrapped up his second day at the U.S. Open at San Diego's Torrey Pines Golf Course Friday, recording a 3-over 74 but missing the cut by two strokes.
Leader Stuart Appleby finished at 3-under Friday, setting the cut at 7-over.
Ellis, who graduated from Live Oak in Morgan Hill, shot a 6-over 77 on Thursday, bringing his two-day total to a 9-over 151.
On Friday, Ellis started strong, carding his first birdie of the tournament on the par-4 second hole at Torrey Pines, but bogeyed on the following two holes.
Ellis had five bogeys in total on Friday, but birdied the par-5 18th hole to finish with a 74.
Ellis, who also attended Gavilan College and the University of Oregon, had two bogeys and two double-bogeys on day one of the U.S. Open, but otherwise shot par on the remaining holes to finish with a 77.
Tiger Woods finished with a 3-under 68 on Friday, bringing his two-day score to 2-under 140. Woods is tied with two others for second place, including Rocco Mediate and Robert Karlsson.

108th U.S. Open Second Round News and Notes
La Jolla, CA (My Sportsbook) - "Bet you didn't think I'd be back here, did you?"
The question was asked Friday by Rocco Mediate, who had just finished off a 71 in the second round of the U.S. Open.
The 45-year-old Mediate, among the most popular and ebullient players on the PGA Tour, held the lead longer than any other player Friday at tough Torrey Pines.
But three back-nine bogeys left him one shot off the eventual second-round lead held by Stuart Appleby -- and tied for second place with, among others, Tiger Woods.
It's a situation that might have seemed impossible until Mediate survived an 11-man playoff at a qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, last week to earn himself a 13th start in his favorite tournament.
As much a fan of golf as he is one of its singular personalities, Mediate was clearly relishing the share of the spotlight he held Friday while playing what could be, by his own estimation, one of his last U.S. Opens.
Limited to 18 events in 2006 while battling a lingering back injury, Mediate played last season on a minor medical exemption. He has made 17 starts already this season, missing the cut eight times and withdrawing once.
His best finish came at the Memorial -- one day before his U.S. Open qualifier -- where he tied for sixth place.
And now this, heading to the weekend with a chance to win his first major championship. It's something Mediate, a five-time PGA Tour winner, knows will be hard to come by, even in his current position.
"There's only four of them a year...But you never know. You never know," he said. "I like what I saw the first two days, and I'm doing pretty good so far. So I'm looking forward to seeing how I feel on the first tee tomorrow. It will be exciting."
Despite Torrey Pines' daunting 7,600-yard layout, its deep rough and quickening greens, Mediate felt comfortable playing the picturesque Southern California course. It fits his eye, he said.
"It's such a good examination of everything you got," said Mediate. "Especially in your head. It's mostly a head game here."
At his age, and with his history of back problems, Mediate was happy to be in a good enough position to get a late third-round tee time. He will tee off with Appleby at 3 p.m. (pt).
"It's great," said Mediate. "I don't have many mornings left."
BYE-BYE POULTER
Englishman Ian Poulter withdrew on Friday after 15 holes with an unspecified injury.
"He just said he was off so he left us," said Luke Donald, who, along with Paul Casey played with Poulter through the first two rounds. "He just said good-bye and good luck."
Poulter was five-over par on his round and 12-over for the championship.
OPEN NOTES
- For the second day in a row, the par-four 12th played as the most difficult hole. On Friday, the 504-yard hole played to an average of 4.6323 shots. It has been the toughest hole for the week with an average of 4.6161.
- The par-five 18th played as the easiest hole again. In round two, the closing hole played to an average of 4.7727 shots. For the championship, it has been the easiest hole with a 4.7896 average.
- Angel Cabrera will not become the first player to successfully defend the U.S. Open title since Curtis Strange in 1988-89. Cabrera missed the cut at plus-13.
- There is still hope for a single-season Grand Slam. Masters champion Trevor Immelman shot a two-over 73 on Sunday and finished 36 holes at plus-six, nine shots off the lead.
- Leader Stuart Appleby's long birdie putt at his last hole got him to three- under par for the championship. Due to the rule that allows anyone within 10 shots of the lead to make the cut, that Appleby birdie knocked off 11 players eight-over par.
- Adam Scott carelessly double-bogeyed the 18th hole on Friday. He walked up to tap in a bogey putt, but the ball lipped out. Scott holed a four-footer to get in with the double-bogey.
- The featured trio of the top-three players in the world -- Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Scott -- were grouped together the first two rounds. Mickelson and Scott will play together on Saturday.
- The low round of the day and tournament was registered by Miguel Angel Jimenez. The Spaniard fired an impressive 66 on Friday to move into a tie for fifth at minus-one.

Tiger Woods roars back on Day 2 of the US Open
Thomas Rooney - Saturday 14.06.08, 09:38am
You just can’t keep him out of the action for long can you? Tiger Woods was written off at the end of day one, with many people believing that a knee injury was enough to end his challenge for this year. Think again. The world number one went through the pain barrier to record a fantastic back nine of 30, moving one shot away from leader Stuart Appleby.
Tiger Woods would have been joint leader overnight, but Appleby birdied the 18th with a huge putt to secure a solid round of 70. Other players in amongst the leaders include Rocco Mediate, Robert Karlsson and Britain’s very own – Mr Lee Westwood. The 35-year-old is certainly flying the flag as far as Britain is concerned, joining Karlsson and Mediate on one under par at the end of day two.
In terms of the other British players, Luke Donald is still in with a shout on level par and after briefly holding the lead, Owen Wilson has an outside chance as he joins a group of players on one over par – just four shots off the lead.
It was a day to forget for Ian Poulter though – he didn’t even make it past the 15th hole. The man famous for his ‘unique’ fashion sense was forced to withdraw with a wrist injury after recording a double-bogey on both the 14th and 15th hole. Justin Rose hasn’t exactly had a memorable couple of days either. After finishing a respectable 10th last year, the Englishman failed to make the cut, as did European favourite Colin Montgomerie.
There is no doubting that all the attention is on Tiger Woods though as we approach day three of the US Open. Even an injury can stop a man, who is arguably one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. He was visibly in pain throughout, but managed to birdie four holes out of five in the back nine. This was in response to a fairly horrific start to the day when he hit to bogeys in his first three holes. Most players wouldn’t have recovered, but as we know – Tiger is no normal golfer.
In terms of US Open betting, how can anyone look beyond the American now? Everyone around him will be wary of the threat he provides and I expect him to be leading the tournament by the end of day three.

Rocco Mediate continues his comeback
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Is golf the most fickle game of all? Of course. Meet Exhibit A: Rocco Mediate, 45. He went from Masters contender two years ago to just another Masters television viewer this year.
You may remember Mediate's meteoric '06 Masters. He led the tournament when he stepped to the ninth tee on Sunday. He then dunked three balls into Rae's Creek on the 12th hole — although CBS mercifully didn't show all of them — en route to a 10 that officially ended his run. Mediate knew his hopes were over at the ninth, actually, when his 8-iron approach shot clanged the flagstick and caromed off the green. His troublesome bad back blew up on that shot and as Mediate remembers, "I almost didn't make it up the hill." He practically crawled to the finish, shot 80, and plummeted to 36th place.
He bounced back (no pun intended) from his spinal issues last year after a long, hard wave of rehab for his body and a retooling for his swing by Jimmy Ballard. He also got a key assist from frequent golf buddy Arnold Palmer, who offered an exemption to his Bay Hill tournament. There Mediate finished second and won enough money to keep his exempt status after a medical exemption. He went on to rack up $1.1 million. It was a pretty good year, just not good enough to him back to Augusta.
"I told Cindi [his physical therapist], I can't watch it," Mediate said of the Masters telecast. "She said, 'Watch it, you should watch it, go watch it.' So I did. It was a devastating thing when my back happened. You don't get many opportunities to win a Masters. I know if I could've finished, I might not have won but I would've given it a shot. I would've much rather shot 75 or 80 because I stunk. That would've been easier to take. But my body just laid down on me. That really sucked."
Things are looking up in Rocco's world. His back is feeling better, obviously, since he has already played in 12 tournaments. At Harbour Town, possibly his favorite track, he made only his fourth cut of the year. Better still, he junked his long putter Friday in favor of a conventional short model and suddenly ran in seven birdie putts en route to a 65. It may be just the thing to spark the continuation of "Rocky 6," as Rocco dubbed last year's comeback run. He posted 71-72 on the weekend to finish at two under par.
"I've been hitting it great all year, and now the putting has improved immensely," said Mediate, who finished tied for 36th at the Verizon Heritage Classic. "I know when I'm healthy, I can play with these guys, and I'm healthy now. It's all good."

US Open half way completed- Stuart Appleby leads Tiger Woods and two others by one
Posted by Bill JemptyPublished: June 14, 2008 - 8:44 AM
With 36 holes to go, and with Tiger standing only shot back, some people are ready to crown the World's best golfer as US Open champion already. I'm not one of them.
Only a week ago we had a similar storyline forming at the LPGA. #1 woman golfer Lorena Ochoa looking for her third straight major, was up by one shot going into the weekend. A golf writer I like, blogged that only the weather looked likely to slow Ochoa's march to victory. Instead, a tour rookie(Who had finished second twice already in 08) named Yani Tseng derailed the Ochoa Grand Slam express. What's to stop the a similar surprise from happening this weekend?
Second round leader Stuart Appleby has never won a major. The closest he has ever come was Appleby taking part in the 4-way playoff(along with Steve Elkington and Thomas Levet) at the 2002 British Open won by Ernie Els. Other than that Appleby's only shot legit shot at a major was the 2007 Masters. He led going into the final round before finishing T7th. Appleby has won eight PGA tournaments in his career. An argument can be made for he being the best player on tour without a major championship triumph. Off the course Appleby has a interesting story. Next month will mark 10 years since his wife Renay was killed in a fluke accident while the couple was in London England. After several years spent grieving, Appleby married again and has at least two children with his new wife.
Appleby is a good player, but in spite of his having the lead he is being overshadowed by Tiger at present. The same can be said for the other golfers who are near the top of the leaderboard. Which include former major champions Davis Love III, Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy, plus more than solid international golfers Miguel Jimenez, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Robert Allenby. All of these players stand within two shots of Tiger and three of Appleby.
Note- I have always liked Rocco Mediate since I watched him in person play in a PGA tournamenet about 20 years ago. Rocco, who is one shot back and tied with Tiger, would be my sentimental favorite. As much as I like Rocco, I know his chances aren't very good on the weekend even if you took Tiger out of the equation.
I didn't think Tiger would win this week, and with him standing one shot out of the lead, the chances are strong I'll be wrong. What I'm trying to say is Tiger isn't a shoo-in to win the tournament.

Mediate shoots into the lead
Rocco Mediate climbed to the top of the leaderboard in the second round of the US Open as play edged past the halfway point.
The American is on four-under after taking a two-shot lead over Eric Axley, who is just one shot in front of Davis Love III, DJ Trahan, and Australian Stuart Appleby.
Another Aussie, Robert Allenby, leads a list of nine players on even par. AMongst those are Phil Mickelson, Swedish pair Robert Karlsson and Carl Pettersson, South Africa's Ernie Els, Argentina's Andres Romero, and English duo Lee Westwood and Luke Donald.
Just outside the leading pack are Australian Adam Scott, England's Oliver Wilson, American trio Scott Verplank, Stewart Cink, Tiger Woods, and Republic of Ireland's Padraig Harrington.
England's Ian Poulter was forced to withdraw after fifteen holes due to a wrist complaint, but was well off the pace when he eventually retired.
