Us open starts today

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.

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.

The rain made it much easier for the players to hit the fairway not having to worry about it running through the fairway into the rough. The rough was probably set up that way because they figured that would be an issue and more players would be playing from the rough.
