Rocco Mediate, the 46-year-old who last June came so close to toppling Tiger Woods in the US Open, has another chance this weekend for a first victory since 2002.
Mediate today added a two-under-par 70 to his opening 68 at the US Tour’s Puerto Rico Open in Rio Grande and midway through the day’s play was only two behind clubhouse leaders Bryce Molder and Estanislao Goya.
