Another Major Gone
The U.S Open has come and gone. I can honestly say that the U.S. Open is losing my interest as the years go on. I mean how much fun is it to sit and watch a guy win the tournament when he starts the day 3 shots back and shoots a 3 over. There was no chance for anyone to make a run at all and basically everyone is sitting there watching to see who can make the most par's coming down the stretch. What fun is that. I want to see some birdies, somebody go at a par five and make an eagle, but instead we get the par 5 14th, where you have about a 10 foot space to land the ball on the green. I mean I never have had a problem with 14 on Tiger Woods 2010, its one of my favorite holes. Botom line is, I don't want to see these guys struggle, there is no entertainment value in that. Instead the only entertainment I get is watching El Tigre throw is beloved Stevie under the bus in his post round interview. Now that is funny. I mean I didn't see his caddie swinging the club and hitting terrible shots all day long and missing putts. Oh well.

I personally loved the US Open. They set up the course so it is hard to play. Even par score in the Open in supposed to be a very good score. I am not sure if it was as much the course as it was some horrible play by these Pro's. Yes a couple greens were setup a little hard like the one where if you landed it on the right half you ended up down the fairway, sorry forgot the number right now.
ReplyDeleteThe US Open is the best tournament because they dont set up the course for every guy to shoot in the low 60's. It is set up for the Professional to have to hit good shots to make par. It just happened that no one did that Sunday. It wasnt the course that made Johnson not come within 60 yards of the fairway the first 5 holes it was his swing.
Every course should be set up atleast half this hard so you dont constantly see super low scores.
