Today’s Monday finish of the 109th US Open was tremendous.  It was a true mental and physical test, though not always of golf.  I couldn’t imagine playing until 8, waking up early, warming up, and teeing up again at 7:30 AM.  I’m glad that the weather cooperated and that the course finally played tough.  That wind was great, and the length of the course, made longer by the wet conditions.

- Tiger had it, couldn’t make putts.  I’m not sure that Johnny Miller was right when he said Tiger couldn’t adjust.  I would believe that his putting was just a bit off.  At the end of the day, he lost the tournament on the last 4 holes of the first round.
- Phil was the fan favorite.  He, like Duval, left himself some par putts that you don’t want on the 4th round of a US Open.  Anything that breaks more than a cup is not something that is consistently made on 13-Stimp greens.
- Man, Duval looks like the old Duval.  The one that shot 59.
- Kudos to Glover.  Seems like a nice guy.  My friend Tom likes that a guys who plays with no gloves won in the rain.
