    Working at home today....US open all day long. Merion is playing tough....only 5 guys under par right now.

    Define "working" :lol:


    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.

    So much for records getting shattered. Loved Rory talking about that.

    Can't wait till tomorrow!

    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.

    26 holes left in Open
    When does Muirfield British talk start? :lol:
    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.

    PHIL-ADELPHIA

    God Bless America. Guess who's going to Pinehurst next year?

    Edit: Phil has never been #1 in the world?!??!?!?!

    It's a Pelz 8 which, apparently, is a softer 8 iron swing. It's referring to Dave Pelz, a golf instructor.
