    Will Ferrell, Billy Payne, Jimmy Kimmel and The Donald.

    How does Larry David not make this contest? He'd be a riot to play 18 with.

    Is this Phil's year? 5 second-place finishes in the open. Amazing looking back at places like Shinnecock and Winged Foot for Phil heartbreak. Let's go Lephty!

    Speaking of Shinnecock the USGA just awarded them the 2018 US Open. It looks like Bethpage has fallen out of the rotation which is a very disappointing but expected move by Mike Davis and the USGA. As in the case with pretty much every Tour event it looks like the Open will only be played at private clubs & high end resorts for the foreseeable future.

    2013 Merion
    2014 Pinehurst
    2015 Chambers Bay
    2016 Oakmont
    2017 Erin Hills
    2018 Shinnecock

    Chambers Bay is pretty darn public. But I get your point.

    It's downhill a bit though, isn't it? Those guys will be hitting 6 and 7 irons in there.

    Top 3 in the world rankings didn't fare to well today Donald & Kaymer 74 and Westwood came in with a 75. The euros didnt take advantage of the morning conditions and have some work to do if they wanna play this weekend.

    Not a fan at all but Rory looks like the 2000 version of Tiger at the open right now 10 under 7 shots ahead.
