Here’s my latest Cybergolf piece. Enjoy.
From the article:
“From personal experience, let me tell you that any windy, forested road called “17 Mile Drive” is no place to get lost, but that’s exactly what happened to the biggest names in golf, as the U.S. Open leaderboard is left to forgotten major winners from 2003, a couple foreign players who have potential, and more strangers than you’ll find on a menu at an Indian restaurant. In fact, at one point mid-day you crack the age-old joke: “Where is the USA? First in War, First in Peace, and tied for 14th on the leaderboard.”
Still, it’s no big deal. Day 1 of a major championship is just “getting to know you” and the big names will be heard from when it counts.”
Now it’s off to an interview with Ben Curtis, the only professional to ever win a major championship in his first in a major, and then a nice picnic lunch while watching golf with Mona Mennan…***singing***byyyyyyyyy Me-nnan!
