    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.

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

    welcome to congressional!

    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.

    What a round by Rory. This is where the Masters demons come itching on your neck, lets see if he can hold them off.

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

    This is unreal. Could you imagine if he made that eagle? He's good.
