The arrogance of these people goes well beyond reason. Could this be why so many people are against health care reform? The government can't take care of their own maimed and injured, let them get their paws into everybody's health care plan and it would be more of the same.

I felt for him. Can't take nothing away fron Cink though, as it is his job to go out there and win. I always figured him to win a major but I was thinking a US Open or the PGA championship but not a British. He surprised me there but when you think about links style courses and golf it's all about keeping it in the fairway and hitting your greens in regulation because the rough is so unforgiving.

Couple 67's a 68 couple more 69's. Still big wind though, they've just been keeping it in the short grass. Ross Fisher birdied the 1st and is now T1 with Watson.

Pretty amazing that after ten years of professional golf he has only missed 5 cuts total. I'm sure someone has the stats but he has got to have one of the best percentages in that department. Even though he is known for only playing in those tournaments he wats to play in. I wondered if the published info was right or not but since it came from the PGA Tour I expected it to be correct. Watson's in contention at 59, hell TW may still be in contention when they shut the lid on me!

He has won 11 straight events when he has held or shared the 36-hole lead, dating to the 2004 Byron Nelson Classic. It would be a safe bet for a Tiger win in this thing.

Favorable conditions this morning but AK has yet to have his say today. Generally I find conditions in the morning to be better than afternoon as the atmosphere heats up the wind tends to increase.

The course is scheduled to open to spectators at 11 and play to resume at 12. USGA officials are saying they will start the 4th round today as soon as possible according to the web site at usopen.com, AP however is already reporting a Monday finish which is likely at this point. The original plan was not to regroup for the 4th round and to continue play from the front and back at the same time. That could have put the winner at 9 instead of 18 when he completed his round. Rain is in the forecast in Farmingdale everyday through Thursday, it was however expected to be slight on Monday. I hate to see a major called prematurely and to my knowledge that hasn't been reported yet, but with the weather the way it is it could be a real possibility. Weather forces yet again another delay.
