A couple thoughts after watching a ridiculous US Open

- I think Johnny Miller hates every single golfer other than Tiger Woods and his buddy Rocco Mediate
- Having a par 5 as the 18th hole in a major is pretty awesome
- After watching the play on this course- there is no way OWitz could even shot an 86 on 9 from the ladies tees on this course- I think Timberlake could shoot lower than OWitz on 18 holes verse 9. Another thing he has over him.
- I want Rick Reilly's job, supposedly he gets paid an absurd amount of money to come up with cheesy 4 min. fluff pieces, that he somehow arrogantly gets to define as "essays"
- Rocco reminds me of Corey Pavin from Shinnecock (sp?)- the crowd favorite who drives shorter than half of us- the only difference is 80 lbs., a cheesy 'stache, and a semi-mullet
- NBC execs just collectively shot their load- a primetime US Open on Father's Day with Tiger battling a sentimental favorite until the 72nd hole where Tiger hits a big put to tie. The only thing missing was Jim McKay announcing (too early I know)
- I think Rocco just missed his best chance to win- by running in and randomly changing numbers on Tigers scorecard and hoping he doesn't notice and signs an invalid scorecard
- Tiger Woods- human or crazy future golfing robot? (I would say jury is still out)

The most insane thing about Tiger is that I think he's hit about 25% of fairways over the last four days. He seems to always be hitting his second shot out of half trampled thick, burnt grass with a buried lie; he then hits said shot 200 yards to within ten feet of the cup.
