    Shame about furyk but I don't get the complaints about 16 being moved up with JF saying he was unprepared for the tee shot. You would think the players especially the leaders would check out the pin placement sheets and yardages before the round so they could at least work on some shots at the range before they tee off.

    They should beat him like a mule for wearing that stupid hat.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    good tourney... shame about Furyk and his caddie- looks alone walking up to the 18th were brutal.

    Well Simpson earned it. Played far and away the best through the weekend.

    I was sitting on the hill at 18 all day. That last putt that McDowell had for a tie had been missed left by every golfer except Davis Love, who drained it.

    The heckler dude pretty much walked out there. Not one person seemed to notice until he walked in front of the podium. He looked like a lost drunk walking up there. A USGA member grabbed him, the guy in the photo. The heckler then walked away and SFPD finally realized what was going on. Took 7 officers to arrest him, hilarious!

    It was a great day and some tasty bill burgers!

    got to play 36 holes this weekend popped a 108 and 109 on the same course as the Wegman's LPGA event in Rochester. the rough was 3.5 inches and basically made any mishit on the tee a one shot penalty. first day i actually would have shot in the 90s if i could either putt or figure out how to hit out of the rough, second day i blew up and threw a 58 up on the front and went double-triple on the first two of the back before going crazy (for me at this course) and throwing up 4 pars and 2 bogeys in 6 holes. Crushed my last drive of the day that rolled a yard into the effing rough and it ruined my 18th hole. Still no 3 putts the second day, just sucked getting to the hole. Hope everyone else is ripping the ball all over the course this year.

    That's awesome. Can't wait for Merion next year.

    Brilliant. Memories that will last a lifetime. That must have been an experience there all day.

    The difference is he doesn't blow away the field anymore. Makes it harder to win the majors. He was putting much better this week though.

    Only player on tour with three wins this year. Top of the money list and FedEx rankings. One of these times a win will line up with a major weekend.

    Had a bad round today. Very inconsistent the whole round. :x

    It was also 106 out there too. Ugh!

    Don't you have to finish before noon.

    At least they still do it in Nov-Feb.

    Went out yesterday and used a coupon I've been holding onto for about a year. Got to be a member for the day at our local Springfield Country Club. Course was in super condition with really fast greens. Played 36 holes shot 113 and 109. Not a great day of golf but a great day no the less.

    Anyone? Can we hear from our UK friends this week? Thoughts on the Open?

    I'm very excited for this one. My favorite major of the season.

    My second favorite Major after the Masters. I'll be watching every day besides Saturday when I'll be playing a round myself. I've been really struggling lately. My handicap the last couple years has been steadily climbing. I need to hit the range more often to get the kinks worked out.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
