The 107th U.S. Open

I probably watched more of this U.S. Open than I watched of the previous 106 U.S. Opens combined.

The winning score was over par.

An Argentinean came from out of nowhere to win the whole thing. It was a fun tournament to watch.

It was hard the whole time out there. Everyone had to scrape and claw their way around the course. There was no such thing as a routine shot. There were no easy drives-no easy greens to hit in regulation--no easy puts--nothing.

The pros were making bogies, double bogies, and triple bogies. That's golf. It's not golf when the tournament winner shoots 20 under par--that's a video game.

Even though Tiger came in 2nd, I think he still proved he's the best player in the world because up until his 2nd to last shot, he still had a chance to at least force a playoff, which would have been frosty.

Basically, I think Nicklaus has about 20 major 2nd place finishes compared to Tiger's 2. In other's words, Tiger is a great player, but that doesn't mean he's gets to win every major every time.

Expect Tiger's pace to slow down. He'll probably still break Nicklaus's major record, but not by much.
