It was returned just recently. Some guy donated it back after buying it

Landing area on #16. The fairway bamks up to the right but it is very narrow and nobody will try to hit it up there. It's a short iron over the quarry to the hole, so they will most probably play shor

The ridiculous thing is not that Phil is flying back for his daughter's 8th grade graduation, it is that her school is even HAVING an 8th grade graduation.  Alas this is becoming far too common.

LOL at Steve Stricker ( I mean "strick" as he is now known since Tiger sucked up to him a few years back on TV and called him that).

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Just OBed himself out of contention?

Yeah, every time I say somebody might win, they blow up. Mahan might win. Mickelson might win. Donald might win. Rose might win. Day might win. Schwartzel might win. Now let's watch everyone blow up.

Some pretty rough front 9s by the 3rd round leaders so far-

Phil- 2 doubles

Horschel- 4 bogies

Stricker- an 8 and two bogies shooting 41

Charl and Luke Donald- 42 each

Makes the 35s by Rose and Day look all the more impressive as well as Dufner's 67 with a triple.

Just doing the math ... It appears, at a quick glance, that the low round of the tournament is a 67.  There has been one each day - Phil Thursday, Horschel Friday, then Fowler today.  Further, there have only been 17 rounds under par the entire tournament (out of 360 or so total).  If we make the assumption that tomorrow's setup will be conducive to a 67 from somewhere, then it's also a pretty safe bet that at least one of the top 4 guys will, at the very least, be able to squeak out a 70.  I will also go out on a limb and make the assumption that somebody shooting back to back 67's is highly unlikely - It would be extraordinarily epic and I'd love to see it, but it's a longshot - so that leaves Ricky out. So, basically, what that means is that your winner is coming from one of the last 4 groups. (I realize I'm not making any bold predictions here ... just trying to look at it scientifically)

Looks like you're going to be right.

Did Tiger win?!?  It's all about him!

Seriously though, congrats to J Rose.  Apparently, ball striking does win a US Open.

Props to Jason Day for being a true class act sticking around to congratulate Rose. Day always has a good attitude and always seems to be there in contention at the majors. Hope he gets one soon. But congrats to Rose, well deserved. What an incredible 4 days.

      Your Top 5 Movies

      By Elmer ·

      A list with both Airborne and Goonies.......   I think a list of 5 is very difficult Shawshank is definitely on the list Boogie Nights (This is a great film, but Really tough to omit PT Andersons other work . so I would need to include Magnolia and There Will Be Blood. And if we are being honest Daniel Day Lewis had a hell of a performance in There Will Be Blood. Actually if you watch There Will Be Blood and then Phantom Thread, you get to see DDL perform at 2 very different characters at opposite ends of the spectrum) No Country for Old Men Godfather (GodFather 2 may be the better film) Good Fellas (I might argue that Casino deserves as much love as Good Fellas, it is simply a great gangster film) Usual Suspects Saving Private Ryan (but Spielberg has made so many great movies) L.A. Confidential Almost Famous (This is one of my personal Favorite films, ever!) Modern Times (an almost perfect silent film made as the talkies were taking over)

      Also, Scottie seems to have been unaware that he was actually a full-on police officer, as he had the bright yellow reflective jacket on. He seems to have confused them with a volunteer type "traffic marshal" or something. I may not be wording that well, but I'm basically saying… he might not have recognized he was a full-on police officer. It was dark, early, and confusing.
