They tried to pimp Rory as the next Tiger...but Rory has sucked.

I blame Wozniacki...

so does everybody else

Poor Phil. But traffic will be back to normal in a day or two. I doubt it will take another 32 years for Merion to host the Open, despite the smaller revenues.

I enjoyed the Open on that course. Didn't like the weather much.

 

[Rolex]

They were saying that maybe in 12 years or so it'll come back to Merion....

This is not the Pacific Northwest. It can rain here this time of year, and a lot.

Yeah the humidity in the east can lead to some lovely thundershowers!

Best part of the weekend of course was Eldrick being nowhere to be found on Sunday. Another major he didn't win

It's getting late for him to catch the Bear

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Yep.

Nicklaus was all class. Eldrick all ass.

 

[Rolex]

Tiger will win another Major...even more probably....he's still young enough....

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

It's been five years for Eldrick now.

Graham DeLaet finished third at this past weekend's PGA Travelers Championship.

Yep. Missed a 5 foot birdie putt on 15 or 16 too. Could have been in that playoff.
Would have been nice to win with the 54 hole lead....but he still played well.

Inbee Park won the 3rd major on the LPGA Tour. She also won the first 2 earlier this year. Only one other golfer has done this feat but that was when there were only majors in the year.

Next up is the British Open major in Aug. There is also a 5th major this year on the LPGA Tour.

Nobody is taling about it because she doesn't speak english and the LPGA isn't exactly the PGA-lite tour.

In Korea she is like the Pope.

Canadian David Hearn is playing the third playoff hole at the John Deere Classic against Zack Johnson and Jordan Spieth.

 

[BURG]

Hearn had a chance to win on the third playoff hole but he missed. On to playoff hole number four.

 

[BURG]

Hearn just missed a very short putt on the fourth playoff hole to win the tournament. On to the fifth playoff hole.

 

[BURG]

That was his chance, I believe. I can see Johnson or Spieth winning now, but I hope Hearn can pull it off.
