Just some of my take: I was there Wednesday and yesterday, stood right next to Colin Montgomery for a little while by 9 green and he is A LOT less heavy in person than he appears on tv. It was od

My dad picked up me up at 9am this morning.  We wanted to wait until rush hour had died down.  Today, no parking pass.  So we parked at the Pittsburgh Mills mall and took the shuttle to Oakmont. I mea

Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

Branden Grace is going to be in the coveted "leader in the clubhouse" position once they blow the horn tonight. He's in at 1-under, and he'll be able to sleep in tomorrow while the leaders try to keep ahead of his mark.

(I picked Grace in the predictions contest as my second choice, but so did a lot of other people; I forget if I went for 2-under or 2-over. UPDATE: 2-under, plus anything less than that! Take it home in 69 or less tomorrow, Gracie! I want that pushcart!)

I putted on the replica 18th green.  I WAS AWFUL.  I blame the strange putter.  Also, this:

Now I remember why I remembered Lowry winning the 2009 Irish Open... this was a pretty memorable celebration.

Man, I didn't realize how close the 10th/12th tee is to the 18th green.

Yeah, it's a busy spot. I spent some time in the 18th grandstands today.

Somebody is going to take their name out of the "Best Player Not to Win a Major" pile tomorrow.

Bryson DeChambeau's sneaked into contention this evening, too.

You are technically correct, which we all know is the best type of correct.  There can be only one "best," but that pile is like the NY Times "Bestseller" list:  a list of really good players who haven't won a major, but who we believe should have.  Unlike 2002, there isn't a clear "best" that needs to be the list of one.

Where is everybody? I've never seen so many empty seats at a US Open. There would be no empty seats if this was the US Open at Pinehurst. I have to wait and see what the final numbers are for attendance. But, this is not looking very good so far.

I'm sure that even at Pinehurst, when the leaders and/or big names are on one side of the course, it's really easy to find seats on the other side.  This was certainly true for 2008 at Torrey and I don't think that open was hurting for spectators.

Pretty sure tickets for the Open (that's right, I said it.  If you're confused about which tournament in currently referring to them I don't know what to tell you ;)) sell out completely EVERY YEAR.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Ty_Webb ·

      As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game.
