An uneventful finish

June
22

This was setting up to be a wild final few holes at the U.S. Open. Lucas Glover took all the fun out of it.

The 29-year-old South Carolina native emerged from a three-way tie for first with Phil Mickelson and David Duval with a birdie on the 16th hole and parred the final two holes to [...]

Lefty’s chances slipping

June
22

Devastating turn of events there for Mickelson, whose bogey on 17 was followed moments late by Lucas Glover’s birdie putt on 16. Instead of a tie for first with Glover and David Duval, Mickelson has dropped two strokes back with one hole to play.

The 18th is a birdie hole for these guys, and Mickelson will [...]

Tiger’s done… and gone

June
22

Tiger Woods finished the U.S. Open today at even par. Following a quick interview session, he got into a car and left Bethpage Black.

Woods was clearly frustrated by the way his round went, especially since the leaders tripped over eachother and left an opening for him. Usually, he roars through. Today, though, not enough putts [...]

Goodbye, Tiger

June
22

For moment there on the 14th hole, as Tiger Woods rolled in a 5-footer for birdie, you thought the worlds best player was about to make a charge at the U.S. Open. But a bogey on No. 15 and a missed birdie attempt on 16 has pretty much kept Tiger out of contention.

He’s even par [...]

Apparently, you have jobs

June
22

I just took a stroll around the grounds here at Bethpage Black. There’s noticeably less people here today then when I was last here for Thursday’s opening round.

It is the final round of the U.S. Open, right? This just shows how much the rain hurt this event. There are good crowds around the 18th green, [...]

Well, that was quick

June
22

You had to get the sense that Ricky Barnes and Lucas Glover would come back to the pack. But did you think it would be this quick.

The co-leaders entering the day at 7-under — five strokes ahead — are both scuffling early here in today’s final round at Bethpage Black. Barnes bogeyed his second hole [...]

Off and running

June
22

The final round here at Bethpage Black resumed at 9 a.m.

Ricky Barnes saved par on his first hole of the day, No. 2, and is locked in with Lucas Glover for the lead at 7-under. Hunter Mahan made a move with a birdie and is 3-under and there’s a pack of eight (including Tiger and [...]
