• Woods is looking for his 13th PGA TOUR victory in the state of California and his ninth in the Southern California. It would also be his second U.S. Open victory in the state. His victories in the state include: AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in 2000; Mercedes Championships in 1997; Buick Invitational in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008; U.S. Open in 2000; Accenture Match Play Championship in 2003 and 2004; American Express Championship in 2005.

• The last time Woods was in second or better after 36-holes in a major championship and did not go on to win was in 1998 at the British Open. He was two strokes back of Brian Watts after 36 holes, carded rounds of 77-66 to finish one shot shy of the playoff between Watts and Mark O'Meara.

• Tiger Woods is looking to capture a major for the fourth consecutive season for the second time in his career. He has won at least one in each of the last three years:

• Lee Westwood of Worksop, England, is looking to become the first European winner of the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970 at Hazeltine GC. Nine players have won the U.S. Open from England. They include: Horace Rawlins (1895), Joe Lloyd (1897), Harry Vardon (1900), George Sargent (1909), Edward Ray (1920), James Barnes (1921), Cyril Walker (1924) and Jacklin (1970).

• The 35-year-old Englishman has finished in the top-10 of a major five times in 39 previous starts. Two of those have come at the U.S. Open -- a tie for fifth in 2000 and joint seventh in 1998.

• Rocco Mediate is making his 138th start since his last victory, the 2002 Greensboro Chrysler Classic. On Sunday he will be 45 years, 5 months and 30 days old and would become the oldest winner of the event. Currently, Hale Irwin who won in 1990 at Medinah CC at the age of 45 years, 15 days is the oldest winner of the U.S. Open.

• This is Rocco Mediate's 13th start in the U.S. Open. He has made the cut eight times. He finished tied for fourth at the 2001 event at Southern Hills and his only other top-10 is a tie for sixth in 2005 at Pinehurst.

• Rocco Mediate has finished in the top-10 of a major championship three times in 43 previous starts. Two of those have come at the U.S. Open -- tie for sixth in 2005 and fourth in 2001. Mediate, who made his first career start in a major at the 1984 U.S. Open as an amateur at Winged Foot CC (missed cut), is teeing up in a major championship for just the sixth time since the 2004 Masters Tournament.

• Miguel Angel Jimenez is making his eighth start in the U.S. Open. Hs only top-10 in his first seven starts is a tie for second at the 2000 event. On Sunday he will be 45 years and 5 months old and would become the oldest winner of the event.

• Jimenez could become the 15th player to record his first PGA TOUR victory at the U.S. Open going back to 1916, joining Angel Cabrera (2007), Michael Campbell (2005), Retief Goosen (2001), Ernie Els (1993), Jerry Pate (1976), Lee Trevino (1973), Orville Moody (1969), Jack Nicklaus (1962), Jack Fleck (1955), Julius Boros (1952), Sam Parks (1935), Johnny Goodman (1933), Bob Jones (1923).

• The top 15 finishers in the 2008 U.S. Open receive an automatic exemption into the 2009 U.S. Open.

• In the 107-year history of the U.S. Open, 47 players holding at least a share of the lead through 54 holes have gone on to victory, including six of the last nine -- Payne Stewart (1999), Tiger Woods (2000), Retief Goosen (2001), Tiger Woods (2002), Jim Furyk (2003) and Retief Goosen (2004). Last year, Aaron baddeley lead by two-strokes through 54 holes and finished tied for 13th after posting a final round 80.

• Angel Cabrera's 5-over-par winning total in 2007 is identical to the score of 2006 winner Geoff Ogilvy. It is the eighth time the winning total has been over par since the USGA went to 18 holes over four consecutive days in 1965.
