Tough rough, fast greens, now wind make for major test
As if brutal rough and lightning-fast greens weren't enough of a challenge, Mother Nature decided to throw her trump card into the mix Thursday at the U.S. Open. A noticeable breeze began to blow at Winged Foot, making an already difficult test that much more wicked.
Ogilvy Wins it..
Wow!!!
Good on ya Ian!!!
OOOPPS Geoff
Oglivy's ol lady needs to find the Adkins Diet
Johnny Miller's been complaining all day about that driver. Too much muscle on 18 cost him this tournament.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. - Geoff Ogilvy was an unlikely winner at the 106th U.S. Open on Sunday when the two leaders heading into the final hole fell apart.
Ogilvy, a 29-year-old Australian, shot a 2-over 72 for his first major victory after Phil Mickelson and Colin Montgomerie both double-bogeyed the 18th hole.
Montgomerie had a good shot to win the Open outright after making a long putt for birdie on the 17th to grab a share of the lead with Mickelson.
After Montgomerie's misfortune on 18, Mickelson appeared to be in good shape, but his tee shot went far wide left. After birdying holes No. 11 and 14, Mickelson had a 2-shot lead with three holes to play.
Mickelson was trying to join Tiger Woods as the only players in the last 50 years to win three straight majors.
Ogilvy was the most consistent, and deserved the win.
Never been a Monty fan, but I was rooting for him today. (Would been his first victory on U.S. soil in his 100th try). Indecision with the short iron cost him on 18, which cost him the tourney.
She's pregnant.

Yes she is
Winged Foot members had big smiles on their faces the entire weekend.
yep
Yes its tru that nobody took this course, but thats what the US Open is all about....who falls apart the least.
If the season finished today, he'd win player of the year. His swing is a mirror to Scott's and his short game is better.
Well, the Van de Velde collapse was much worse -- the worst I've ever seen on one hole in a tough spot in a major. But before his 2004 Masters win Phil was certainly America's Greg Norman. .....and it appears he's found his old form again.
And what's with the goofy smile? He's been walking around with that thing for a couple years now, but it seems way out of place in the midst of performing epic choke jobs.
At least Van De VElde got into a playoff
Mickelson didn't look well. I know this wasn't brought up but did you see the way he looked. My bet is the heat got to him.
He was overweight and he was drinking too much water. You could tell by the way he wasn't turning properly through his swing.
Then again. 3 iron off the tee, 6 iron to the pin and two putt and the tournament was his.
I was thinking the same thing...tension, the heat, a long week, and his extra 30lbs may have contributed. He didn't swing well all day though.
