Write Your Own Godawful US Open Headline Puns

If you've ever read a sports news Website, the NY Post, or similar publication, you have seen some straight up awful puns as sports headlines.  Golf editors must have been salivating at the plethora of puns available to them depending on the outcome of the 109th US Open.  On Twitter, I solicited suggestions for great (meaning awful) US Open headline puns.  Here's some of what I got.

  • Barnes Burned at Bethpage
  • Mick is Blue at Black
  • Bethpage didn't lay a Glove-r on Lucas
  • Weir's Phildo?
  • All You Need is Glove-r
  • Bethpage is for Glovers!
  • Glover takes Bathpage US Open
  • Glover slammed the Barn door and took his Phil.
  • Fisher Came Up Empty at Lake Bethpage.
  • Phil in his name on the 2nd place trophy
  • Mickelson and Duval have "Lost That Glovin' Feelin'"
  • Weir'd he go?
  • Barnes couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at Bethpage.
  • Duval Took a Fall
  • Phil Couldn't Sink the Pill

Now, take your shot as a US Open pun!  For inspiration, please watch this compilation of awful Mr. Freeze puns from the Hollywood flop Batman & Robin.  And remember that Mr. Freeze is now the Governor of California.

These are 13 excellent reasons to avoid sleep deprivation ! :-) JUST kidding !!

This is great stuff – especially the nod to Poe, and sloshing through the Barnes door.

RB – I like Phil is Blue at the Black.

Got this one from a friend on Twitter: “Glover uses lethal weapon to win at Bethpage.”

LETHAL WEAPON REFERENCE?! Awesome. Could go on with that for ages.
