US OPEN

I know it has been a number of weeks since the US Open, but I just had some things to say, that I didn't write beforehand. This years majors I could not have been more excited to watch. The Masters is the Masters and what made it exciting for me was the venues of the other three majors. Pebble Beach, St. Andrews (the birth place of golf), and Whistling Straits which is in my state. Before this year I was excited like I said, but then Tiger had to go and mess everything thing up. I couldn't wait to see him back at Pebble after his beyond comprehinsion performance in 2000, where he was the only person under par and was twelve strokes better than second place. Even with the Open being at St. Andrews I am not as excited, because of Tiger. No he is not my favortie golfer, but he is golf. If he is not in a tournament or isn't playing well, it does loss its luster. I hope it gets back to some norm next year at least. I am not expecting anything from him for the rest of the year.

One other disapointment came from my boy Dustin Johnson. I just can't believe how he messed that up so badly where he didn't even have a chance to play better and come back.

I am going to my first major this year at Whistling Straits. I am only going to Monday and Tuesdays practice rounds, but I think that will be a little better for me, since I really want to see how players go about their business during the week. The only bad thing is that I have no idea when players will be teeing off, and I do know they like to go off real early in the morning so that will suck to get up that early.

THE OPEN is coming up this week and I can't wait. Phil hasn't been playing much and missing the cut at the Scottish Open and Tiger isn't up to par yet. I have no clue who will perform at the Open. Off the top of my head I am like Eduardo Molinari right now.
