Rocco Mediate, the reigning Senior PGA Champ, sat down with the PGA Tour media for one of those quick ‘Get to Know’ type segments, as part of promotions for the Bass Pro Legends (the best Champions Tour event on the schedule).
Mediate, a six-time winner on the PGA Tour, but who is probably best known for losing to Tiger Woods at the 2008 U.S. Open, was given seven questions, including his dream foursome, his favorite golf course, and his most-played iTunes song. (Spoiler alert: Q & As below.)
