What an U.S. Open!

I'm too tired to write anything about it right now, but eventually we'll get something going. Tiger wins the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines today in sudden death after 90 holes were not enough to determine a winner. Woods tied Mediate with a birdie on 18 yesterday to force the playoff and then found himself in the same spot today. Down one stroke heading to 18, Tiger came up with another birdie which forced a sudden death playoff. Mediate struggled off the tee and eventually bogeyed the hole leaving Tiger the winner as he made par.

Tiger has now won all 14 times that he has had at least a share of the lead going into the fourth day of a major tournament. Interestingly enough, Tiger has NEVER won a major that he did not lead after three rounds.

This was an amazing tournament from start to finish. Tiger made his run on Saturday with a pair of eagles, a chip-in that would have gone 10-20 feet past the hole had it not hit the stick and dropped in the cup.

More on this to come...

Michigan Man Leads US Open

After the first round of play, Justin Hicks was tied for the lead in the US Open at Torrey Pines. Seven birdies led Hicks to a -3 day and a share of the lead with Kevin Streelman. A slew of others sit a stroke back at -2.

Hicks is from Riverview, Michigan and played collegiate golf at the University of Michigan.
