Surprise of the Open: Remove two holes where he completely lost his composure (9th on Saturday, 1st on Sunday) and your 2007 US Open champion is.....
The US Open should reward great shots, slightly penalize good shots, and severely penalize bad shots.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
I don't get it. If the best players in the world are averaging 77 or whatever on a golf course . . . something is afoul. What's the big deal about them making a birdie. The USGA is selfabsorbed. Tweeking these old courses to "protect" them and par is like putting a mustashe on the mona lisa. It's not golf. The guys at the Masters are doing the same thing. Bobby Jones wouldn't recognize his golf course.
I think I agree.
The only thing I can say on the other side of it is that sometimes you feel the nervous tension just watching it........imagine what they must feel.
