But they didn't continue for long. Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open on the first sudden-death hole with a par. Mediate was in a bunker off the tee, up against the grandstands with his second shot, and wound up with a bogey and second place.

For Woods, the win was his third U.S. Open victory, 14th major championship win, and 65th overall title on the PGA Tour.

Mediate's attitude, his smile, and his great play throughout the week thrilled golf fans. But it was Tiger Woods who wound up holding the trophy.
