Us open starts today

Well, another birdie for Rory. He's now tied with Tiger Woods for the most shots under par ever during a US Open. And he's 22. Kid has silly game.

18 is chewing up Rory and Phil right now. Phil's play has been pretty disappointing the past two days.

This hole is the first sign so far that McIlroy is human. Haha.

Yeah Rory lit it up but brought it home pretty crappily there. Gotta wonder how the triple on 18 will hang on him and whether it'll effect him going into tomorrow. Especially if the course is playing hard and he gets to watch a lot of guys get punked early on.

I thought it was a double on 18?

I was there all day yesterday with some colleagues from work. We had VIP parking and Trophy Club access. What a great freaking time. We walked 3 holes with Phil/McIlroy/D.Johnson, 2 with Jiminez/Sergio/Quiros, 3 with Westwood/Donald/Kaymer, 3 with Harrington/Cabrera/Cink, and 2 with Immelman/Z.Johnson/Schwartzel, and 1 with A.Scott/Bubba/Karlsson.

Congressional CC is in great shape, and we had a blast. Plenty of cold beer and good food. I was about 3 feet from Phil on his second shot on 11. Pretty cool, and the best part was my boss put everything on the black Amex, so I didn't spend a dime.

Good job. I had a guy call Monday to go yesterday and if it would have been anyone else I would have gone. I know the guy through work and just could see myself spend 6 hours in the car with him going to and from the event.

My money is on Rory McIlroy.

What a show he put on. I remember years back watching another young golfer that put on a performance like that. Can anyone guess who that was? I kept watching for RM to come back to the group but it never happened.

Glad to see RORY deliver after that.....disaster at the Masters. Seems like a nice....deserving winner. I like happy endings.
Kid can flat ass hit the ball!

I was out at the tournament Friday and I gotta say the USGA did a piss poor job setting up the course. The ruff was not that high. On top of that, as the scores were getting pretty low, they moved the tees up Sat. on several holes. This isn't a regular tour event and par is supposed to be protected. Although the course was longer than it was in 97 the course was played much tougher 14 years ago.

You have to think the rain slowed the course down. They didnt water the course at all.

I think it seemed WAY too easy. It wasn't the challenge it usually is.

However, Rory embarrassed the field...won by 8. Congrats, man...made me look like a genius for a day. :D
