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.

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....

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.

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.
