U.S. Open/3 worth a stab

Kev it has to get to a point where you would have a chance against Tiger in my junkyard course par 5008... yes?

There has to be some point at which the course gets so unfair as to be a tossup.

What is unfair about this course?

I was chatting to one of my good friends on Wednesday and when talking about the Open, the first player that came to my head was Bubba Watson, but he completely took me off him. he said that he is very liable to put in a horrendous round (still may happen) so I plumped for Funk instead...Is shaping up to be a very interesting last 2 days. I feel sorry for Harrington though.in 4 holes, triple bogey x 2, double bogey and bogey..

I should have said a course.
I am not an avid golfer but I enjoy watching contests of skill, and this game is so damn hard I have no time to even think about being able to play well. So I dont have enough credibility to say what is unfair. But does that stop me... So

The grass is ridiculous if one hits long on greens that dont even hold and there are no spots to roll it on (like the British open). When it takes at least five or six people to find a ball in grass that looks like 5 yards off the fairway... and everyone sees the ball go in and they cant find it. They had people stompin all around in that mess.

Hows that work?

Or from what I heard from the players. A par 3 that if the wind blows, they will not be able to hit with a driver. So this is the one tournament that they make every pro play a wood into a Par 3?

I bet if I played Tiger Woods underwater on a long hole that was also about 20 feet deep, no mask, I could beat him. I am good at holding my breath at depth.

Just found out that I'm going up to Oakmont tomorrow ... not a huge golf fan, but I went when it was here in '94 and had a blast.

Well,the 2 guys that are very tough when they get in the zone are Cabrera(10-1,)and Casey(14-1.)Cabrera doesn't get into the zone that much,but I remember that nice win he had in England a couple years ago,and he was too tough.Casey can simply dominate when he starts to click(unstoppable.)The question is whether they can do it in a major.I respect Tiger,and Ogilvy,but they are no bargain at this point.AAMES is a good player,but I don't think he is really in the zone this week(maybe he will prove me wrong.)Sure don't trust any of the others to make a putt Sunday.

I use to.I haven't done it much since they passed that new law.When they passed that new law the English Book(that I loved) cut me off for being American.I don't normally bet a single thing to happen.I usually bet for a couple things to happen.Like put each of these with the Tigers,or Angels to win the World Series.
