Going to the US Open!

[bbedell]

I grew up on the Monterey Bay so needless to say I was beyond stoked when I heard that the US Open was coming back to Pebble. My dad is a high school principle in the area and has lived and worked in the area his whole life, so needless to say he knows people. Long story short he got me and my wife free passes to park and take a luxury shuttle to Peter Hay and watch day 3 of the US Open. This will be my first live major tournament ever. Any suggestions on how to tackle the day and maybe who are the more mind blowing players to watch in person that I definitely need to catch? Thanks in advance!

I'd say leave tiger alone, that's where most of the people will be and it'll be hard to get a good view.
Fowler is on fire lately, it'd be interesting to watch him play.

I'm hoping to go to the JP Macmanus Open this summer at Adare Manor. Tiger and a few of the other big stars will be there (and the rest of the irish stars).

Have fun at pebble beach, hopefully it won't be too packed.

I agree.. I would watch some of the younger guys, they are really starting to show they mean business. When my dad and I went to a tournament a couple years ago we thought it was more fun to find a good green and then watch the players come through... it's cool to see all the different approach shots and then how the tackle the greens.

I would find a good spot and stay there most of the day rather than trying to follow any particular group. The only tournament I've ever been to was the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in 99. The practice rounds were by far the highlight of the week, but as for the actual tournament, I'd rather watch on tv. But if sombody gave me tickets to this year's Open, I'd probably be more interested in seeing the golf course than any of the play.
