8 Rocco Mediate’s
victory at the Frys. com Open ended an eight-year
winless streak on TOUR.
Charity Link
in the first round, holed out from 160 yards on the par-4 fourth hole on Friday, and hit the trifecta on Sunday, holing out from 111 yards on the par-5 15th hole. “I don’t know how to explain it,” said Mediate. “Over the
past three weeks everything was coming along, and I was putting better. Last week I was pretty solid all four rounds, and this week went bonkers.” Despite his heroics on No. 17, he still had to gut out a
par on the home hole for the win. After Prugh and Van Pelt made birdies on 18, Mediate had a five-footer for par and the win. As Mediate and caddie Matthew Achatz studied the putt, they happily agreed on the read. “He said, ‘It’s dead straight, knock it in,’ ” Mediate said.
“I nodded and said, ‘OK.’ ” The fans’ reaction was immediate. “I was walking down the stairs, and I heard the roar,”
said Ricky Fowler, who finished fourth and was in the clubhouse. “I couldn’t see the green but I could tell who the roar was for. It was pretty loud.” The warm desert weather worked wonders for Mediate’s
back until Sunday, when it turned rainy and cold. Mediate struggled, going five over for the first 13 holes and costing him the lead on No. 15. “The weather was tough on everybody,” Mediate said. “I
don’t do well with the cool and damp stuff. It was hard for me to move. My back wasn’t sore but it was stiff. I couldn’t hit it where I was looking.” The sun came out when Mediate was at No. 14, and that
helped him turn his fortunes around. “I told Matthew at 12 I was not going to miss any more
fairways,” Mediate said. “I made a big putt on 14 just to stay alive.” He birdied from 18 feet on the par-3 16th and followed
that up with his magic on 17 that gave him the lead. From there, it was all over but the shouting—and there was a lot of that. ■

CordeValle Golf Club
“DO YOU BELIEVE
WHAT JUST HAPPENED OUT THERE?
I HAVE A JOB AGAIN.”
— Rocco Mediate The eigth hole of CordeValle Golf Club, San Martin, California.
CordeValle was designed by architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., one of the two sons of esteemed architect Robert Trent Jones. It winds through a valley and features numerous elevation changes of up to 150 yards. Jones made good use of the meadows and streams, as well as the stands of sycamores and oaks. Like many of Jones’ designs, it is well-known for its artistic bunkering that is as beautiful as it is strategically challenging.
“The location had so many great possibilities that it was difficult to decide which to choose,” said Jones. “CordeValle is one of those pure-core golf experiences.
