Rocco Mediate blasts Tour pros still complaining about USGA

Rocco Mediate, the man Tiger Woods defeated in a playoff to win the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines, has blasted those Tour players still complaining about the USGA's handling of Shinnecock Hills at the US Open three weeks ago.

Ian Poulter criticised the USGA in an exclusive interview with GolfMagic that you can watch above, and even Woods was still discussing the controversy at last week's Quicken Loans National.

But in the eyes of Mediate, enough is enough. 

"Truthfully, it's all been a bunch of bulls, what I've heard, complete horse sh--. I'll say it again if you want me to," said Mediate, who finished tied 14th at the US Senior Open last week.

"Here's the deal two weeks ago: If you don't like how it was set up, A) Hit better shots; B) Don't come. Don't come. Someone will take your place. It's real, real simple. Now you're getting me mad."

Yup, he got real mad...

"They're talking about, well, you just shot 10 feet right of the pin, [and] rolled into the bunker. Hit it left of the pin, then, OK? Because everybody's got to play the golf course," said Mediate, who lost to Tiger Woods in a sudden-death playoff at Torrey Pines a decade ago.

"Let me ask you this question, too," he continued. "Remember the one about the golf course changed from the morning -- have you ever played one that didn't? Of course it's going to change. That's what it's supposed to do. Sometimes it can get softer in the afternoon. Sometimes it gets firmer.

"What I heard that week made me want to throw up, basically. Just shut up, play. Because I guarantee you that trophy, that beautiful trophy they give away, this week and two weeks ago, is way worth the crap you have to go through to win it. It is.

"I haven't done that yet, but it is. I had this much on it," he added, holding out his hand to signify his near-miss at Torrey Pines. "It was worth the try."
