Looks like the greens are a little quicker. Should be an epic day at an epic venue. Nice piece on Francis Ouimet on now.

Happy Fathers day to all out there - especially mine, who realized that I could never hit a curve ball and make it to the show like he did. He nudged me to golf and it's been a big part of my life ever since.

Rooting for Phil, but rooting for Merion as well. Show some teeth old girl!

Rooting for Stricker here. Reputedly one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. His short game rival Phils which is why they’re both at the top at Merion.

I was watching the live stream this morning from the US Open web site. Tiger, missing puts and fairways, and I think I saw him spit on the second or third green. I don’t think he’s peed or dumped in any of the cups..., yet.

Is a gob of spit considered a loose impediment?

Go Phil! A one-shot lead is the barest of leads. We’ll see if (1) anyone in the earlier groups can put any pressure on him and (2) whether or not he can avoid a meltdown like in 2006 at Winged Foot. I think Horschel is someone to watch out for...

What’s with this “while we’re young” crap? What an arrogant campaign. That’s going to to encourage more people to play golf?

Yeah why don’t you make the courses easier, high speed golf carts and timers on all holes. That’s what we want. pffff.

They left out “under God” in the pledge?

I tuned in for GOLF, not yacking, not history or pontification. While we’re young guys! Go Phil!

Happy Father’s Day all.
