    as for donald ... i think it's one of those perspective issues on the value of majors ... can you truly be a number 1 without winning majors!? ...

    true...i'm not saying that luke being #1 was right but that's how the rankings are determined...but the way the world rankings are determined needs to be overhauled

    ya ... it's not too bad ... you look at these guys that have a decent ranking but have never played a us pga event and they show up at majors and WGC events and hold their own ...

    i watched luke play yesterday and dude isn't hitting it awful ... he's like a metre off every shot ... it's that precise out there ... just looking at the scores so far ... not many people are under par today ...

    Donald is easily the most overrated number 1 since they started the OWR.

    how can he be overrated when the rankings are based on play? :?

    The OWGR is a joke, the way they calculate the rankings is completely flawed, it's worse than the BCS.

    Looks like fowler is done 6 over after 9 he's 3 over the current cut line. Only 6 guys under par today hopefully Phil can make a run later.

    Berman is AWFUL. Why they would let this clown announce something like this is a mystery to me....let him stick to yelling like an idiot over NFL highlights in the studio. The mute button is being put to good use today.

    Agreed. He is barely tolerable for football. He is by far the worst thing about the US open. Good thing he won't be around for the weekend either.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    great golf... loving phil to post a good number tomorrow... finish at +4. Tiger and furyk are wearing their gfs panties today- brutal the short putting. Loving the amateur.. bring golf back to life- hope he does well. Jacobson should be in the lead with all the birdie putts... see him and McDowell top 2 finish tomorrow.

    regardless... some good golf. love to see the pros struggling- good TV.

    I love beer and golf. :D
    Cheers!
