This is setting up to be a great day for golf! The greens at Pinehurst are hard as a rock and as fast as goose shit through a greased tin horn. Speaking of a goose, I think he is the solid favorite to win today, but double bogeys are aplenty on a course like this and one hole could mean a 4 shot swing.
Personally I'm pulling for Gore, a virtual unknown who has been scraping along on the mini tours for a while. You know what I love about golf? What other sport can you get a guy who struggles week to week to make a buck compete with a player like Tiger who make over a 100 mill a year.
I hope Gore or Browne don't win. I hate when no-names win these big tournaments. I'd rather have Tiger win although it's quite unlikely this year. Anyone remember Ben Curtis?? Didn't think so. He won the British Open a few years back and has been invisible since.
I want Retief to win, but it's fun to root for the underdog, especially someone who seems as genuine as Gore.

Gore is ranked 818th in the world of golf; and fans have been chanting this ranking as he walks the fairways.
I love the US Open for the fact that almost *anyone* can enter as it is an "open" tournament. It reveals that the bottom of the ladder on the PGA can still play golf a million times better than any of us.

I guess I missed something; please elaborate.

Yes please eleborate if you are all knowing.
Great round by Campbell. Sorry Reteif fell apart and Gore too, that is a bit embarising 81 and 84, reminds me of Weir in 99 at the PGA

I'm fairly certain that if I was the best golfer in the world, I'd be a spoiled arrogant prick. Hell, most club pros I've met are spoiled arrogant pricks.

But what did he do this weekend that would illicit opiated's comment?

that made me chuckle.
Campbell's heart must have been going a mile a minute. I've stood on 18 with a 4 shot cushion and thought I wouldn't make contact. I was glad he pulled it off. I'm not a big Tiger fan (and that was perhaps the worst shirt I've ever seen) but he put on a great charge.
p.s.: I'm a club pro and I'm not a spoiled and arrogant prick...at least I don't think I am? :wink:
just to comment on tiger...he had a "moment" where he tore up a green with his putter...cursing while he did it..any golfer knows that's a huge no-no..when asked about it afterwards, he said "i did it because i was pissed"..word for word..no class...he's always yelling "damnit" and 'jesus christ"..which may not seem like a lot, i just think he is able to get away with more...to me, he showed no remorse about messing up the green, and he did quite a butchering job on it...
