Well the open starts and without no Tiger Woods. While I'm not a fan of Tigers I really miss when he is not there because the Tiger factor makes golf more interesting. I'm a Phil fan so I hope he can win his first US Open but its not going to be easy. I'm guessing one of the top players who have not won a major will get their first this week. Here is a link to the coverage.

I would not bet against Rory. The long knockers have a good advantage at this Open because the rough is not as high as they have had it for most Us Opens.

I just hope that a U.S. citizen wins. It would be nice to see one of the "Golf Boys" do it. Then they could follow up the trophy presentation with an encore performance.

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.

Oh I remember, I had him picked to win there too. Implosion.

Maybe it's because I watched him live yesterday, or maybe it's just a hunch, but I have a really good feeling that Rory won't implode like he did at Augusta. Watching him put right now for a 10-stroke lead....
