Forgot how close Davis Love was to winning an Open. He had this one. Congrats to Jones though
Great U.S Open setup! At first glance you wonder how -2 is leading, but the slope in the fairways, and pins near a huge ridge with fast greens, you can see why it was tough to score.
Poor Tom Lehman. He made a yearly appointment for Sunday's final pairing, but he could never bring home the hardware.
Anyone who thinks it is "their turn" turns the wrong way.
