Torrey Pines Golf Course

Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open over Rocco Mediate in a 19-hole Monday playoff. After completing the 18-hole playoff on the South Course tied at even par 71, they went to sudden-death on the 91st hole, played on the par-4 7th hole. Mediate had trouble off of the tee and made bogey, while Woods made par to gain his third U.S. Open and fourteenth career major title, which put him just four behind Jack Nicklaus. He birdied the final hole on Sunday to force the playoff and again on Monday to extend it. At age 32, Woods won while playing with a stress fracture and torn ACL; this was his last major title until 2019. This was the last U.S. Open to feature an 18-hole playoff (the USGA changed the U.S. Open playoff format to a two-hole aggregate playoff in 2018); as of 2025, it was also the most recent time the U.S. Open ended in a playoff. ==Popular culture==
