2011 US Open Championship

[Tilpots]

Here we go! The 111th US Open is underway and this years field is the most wide open in a long, long time. The top three players in the world right now are Internationals, Tiger's not on the course, Phil's never won one, and any nut with a few clubs can make their way into this tourney! Who's gonna take it home?

My guy is a stud in Majors. Never chokes, never misses a big putt and never has won one! Let's go Sergio!!!

Conressional is a beautiful course and should be a challenge. The ruffs aren't as nasty in years past, but length is going to be a factor. DC is my hometown and my brother is a caddie at TPC Potomac not far away. He says the golfing community around there is electric! Should be a great crowd, great course and an unbelievable competition!

Friday Night Leader-board:

That's certainly a lot of swearing, right there.

Wait 'til tomorrow afternoon.


Rory's running away with this...

McIlroy!

McIlroy!

I'll say. That guy killed it. Never seen a Major so thoroughly dominated since Tiger's demise. Even Woods rarely won in that form.

It was really nice to see him win. He may actually save golf after the Wood’s vacuum.

He's such a pure striker of the ball, different class to the rest. And plays with a smile on his face which is great for the game.
