The Greatest U.S. Open Ever?
The NBC announcers got a little excited during the playoff broadcast on Monday, several times exclaiming that we were watching one of the best golf tournaments ever played. Hey, they're fans, too, and they get caught up in the moment just like the rest of us. And that's why I wasn't willing to...
Round 3: Limping Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Well, Tiger's in the lead. Anyone surprised? Tiger Woods shot a stirring 70 at Torrey Pines on Saturday and leads the U.S. Open by one stroke. He should be a shoo-in tomorrow, right? Welllllll ... Woods will probably win. But ... He was clearly in a lot of pain on Saturday with his left knee,...
Open Thread: Round 3, U.S. Open
Isn't weird for it to be this late in the day - 2:30 Central time as I write this - and still have half the field yet to tee off? Phil MIckelson is among those who are under way. He's through the front nine at this time and 1-over for the day. I'm declaring Phil's title hopes dead. Use this...
Woods, Mickelson and Scott
That's your 8:06 a.m. (PDT) group off the No. 1 tee at Torrey Pines next Thursday. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott. Quite a U.S. Open grouping, eh? On Friday, they go off No. 10 at 1:36 p.m. (PDT). The full U.S. Open pairings are below the fold. Thursday (June 12), No. 1; Friday (June...
U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying Results

Tiger on Track for Torrey
Tiger Woods must be feeling good. He said today that he would play next week "even if it wasn't a major." Hey, you can only sit around the house with Elin, Sam, the dogs, the trophies, the home theater, the back 40 and the three days' growth for so long before you need to get back on tour. How much...
U.S. Open Sectionals Under Way
Craig Parry and Artemio Murakami (of the Philippines) are the first two golfers to get into the U.S. Open through sectional qualifying. The fist 36-hole sectional took place in Osaka, Japan, with Parry and Murakami grabbing the two spots available. Among those failing to make it were "Coy Prince"...
Woods Skipping The Memorial
You were right (all of you who said this would happen), I was wrong: Tiger Woods is skipping Jack Nicklaus' Memorial tournament. The PGA Tour revealed today that it has been notified by Tiger's peeps that he will not enter The Memorial. To me, this means Woods simply doesn't feel ready for...
