\"Hittin'Hello out there and welcome to another volume of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. I would like to send a shout out to all the dads out there; I hope you all had a fantastic Father’s Day. Hopefully everyone got in a little golf before settling down to watch the final round of the U.S. Open. And what a final round it was.<\/p>\n

In this edition, we check in on the playoff for the U.S. Open, ask why somebody would go to the Open just to act stupid, take a look at some past U.S. Open battles, and see who had some anger issues in the middle of their second round. Also, we look into why golf carts are dangerous, investigate what happened to the AT&T Classic, take a peek at Rory’s PR campaign, and see how Michelle Wie made it into the U.S. Women’s Open.
