Quote of the day
"The rough is as bad as I’ve ever seen it. If you hit it in the rough here, you’re just advancing it 120 yards, 140 yards, most of the time. That’s still very penal. (photo)" -- Ernie Els, prior to the U.S. Open at rain-soaked Merian Golf Club Daily blurb
Catching up from last weekend:
Congrats to the winners of the GuruGolf “Spring to the Open” Contest:
Best ball: LAMBES BIRDIES
Worst ball: C_Bay_15 (tiebreaker based on team value appreciation during the contest)
For the Fedex St. Jude Classic, the top best ball performance was a tie from two similarly-constructed Cyberwahoo teams, while Smith32-WB claimed the worst ball honors.
The U.S. Open tees off early Thursday morning – weather permitting. The rain-soaked course is likely to take on more rain on Thursday and Friday, so delays are likely.
