\"Hittin'Hello again cyber golf nuts and welcome to a very special edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. Happy belated Fathers Day to all the dads out there. Hopefully Sunday allowed for a round with Dad or an opportunity to take the little ones out to the course for a little fun. I know one dad who had a great time on Sunday… Gerry McIlroy. What a Father’s Day present, watching your son destroy the competition at the U.S. Open. Too cool.<\/p>\n

In this U.S. Open edition of HtL<\/em> we begin with a look at Rory McIlroy’s rise to fame, investigate Bubba’s U.S. Open outfits, and see who else is setting fashion trends on the links. Also on tap we take note of who did not fare well at Congressional, check in on the Presidential golf summit, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!

Hole 7: Saint-Omer Open<\/strong>
