hope local boy Jim Furyk does well. Kinda his "home turf", although I read he's only played there twice.

yesterday was awesome. we camped out at the 7th hole grand stand most of the morning. you can see that hole's approach and then the par 3 9 is right to your right. the par 5 4 is right there too. great spot. there's also a hill along the 9th hole behind those houses that looks like a good place to watch a lot of the action--in the shade too. stayed near 18 and back 9 in the afternoon. tiger was pretty much done by the time we got there. that sucked.
we had access to the trophy club and had lunch there. pretty cool spot on haverford college's campus, so a bit of a walk there, over the tracks. but the food was halfway decent. full bar and everything with tons of tvs. at one point when the golf channel went to commercial, they played about a minute of Hard Sun, which was lovely.
got to see sergio on a few holes. padraig harington. david toms. saw some golfer, nobody ever heard of (and can't remember his name now..russell sullivan maybe?) sign some old crusty chick's left boob. it was disgusting...and hillarious.
i had no idea until yesterday that this "derecho" storm we are having packs quite the punch. this morning around 9:45, it looked like it was about 8:30 in the evening it was so dark and menacing. doesnt look like it will last that long this afternoon though. round 2 should be coming in the next hour or so. glad they are able to get in as much as they are today.

Good stuff. We did the hill at 9 for a little while Tuesday. Might have to find tht 7 grandstand tomorrow. Can't wait. You heading back at all?
Mike Davis (Dir of USGA) is downright giddy about how hard Merion is playing...2 guys one shot under par...So much for an Open not being able to be held here "today"
Shall be an awesome weekend!!!
Are we looking at a 4/5 under winning this thing?
Have a blast Cliffy!!!

I'll be surprised if anyone is under par after this weekend. I say +1 wins it.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

You can have them all, gregkitefan, I'm rooting for TIGER WOODS!!!
Should be a great weekend, whoever you are pulling for.
Tiger's short game is abysmal today - WTF???
7 shots back
26 holes left in Open
When does Muirfield British talk start?
Wow...
He doesn't seem confident at all today...I know its still early, but it seems odd...
Another phenomenal fucking day. Sat at the 2nd green for about the first 3 hours. Saw everyone come through and say a good half dozen birdies and a couple eagles. Then just bounced around.
Phil hitting some sort of wood out of the bunker on 6 was outstanding (right after I told him to "get crazy").
Just a great day. I am not the biggest Phil fan but would LOVE to see him win his first US Open here.

It's a Pelz 8 which, apparently, is a softer 8 iron swing. It's referring to Dave Pelz, a golf instructor.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

looks like Donald will be clubhouse leader shortly ...
Responding to any emails and refreshing my computer so I don't go to "away" status on IM.
Donald had a tough back 9 there and finished at even par. I wouldn't mind seeing him finally win the big one.
Can't wait till tomorrow!
Yep....Enjoy tomorrow!!
