While waiting for the US Open to start, did anyone play the Virtual U. S. Open game at usopen.com?

HEY B18T,

 

Eye agree . . . Tiger looks fit and toned.

As a former part-time personal fitness trainer (for Bally Total Fitness), I always get a kick out of seeing Tiger on the golf couse snacking on a peanut butter sandwich or a banana, and drinking bottled water.

He has a great fitness routine; and clearly knows what he is doing.

Heard about Tiger, Bubba and Phil early this morning.  Are the organizers out of their minds?  They paired Tiger, Phil and Adam Scott at Torrey Pines in 2008 and it was a huge mistake!  "The United States Open's big showdown turned into one big letdown on Thursday."  Just one of the quotes about the 2008 pairings.

Any thoughts?

I would say this course favors Tiger's game, go get em Tiger : - )))

HEY CJ,

 

EYE think this pairing is ridiculous . . .

It is nothing more than a distraction for Tiger; and amusement & increased ratings for the press, because they know the world will be drawn to the coverage, because of this  (make-believe) rivalry between Tiger and Phil).

It means increased publicity for Phil (which he otherwise would not receive) from Tiger's worldwide network of fans; plus Bubba (is a nice guy); HOWEVER, he is not in Tiger's league (regardless of his win at The 2012 Masters, or the fact that he attended college at UGA in my home State).

HEY DOUG,

 

EYE think every course favors Tiger's game, if he remains focused as he did at The Memorial.

I can't wait for PGA WIN #74 for 2012.

Of course, Tiger won the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines regardless of the pairings in the first two rounds.  Phil disintegrated and Adam was never a factor either.  So perhaps . . .     :)

Hi, EYE, don't forget Tiger WINS 1 in 3.7 STARTS, and should surpass Jack's PGA record tie within the next 4 entries...

SO DOUG,

 

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS . . . (smile)

EYE have no choice . . but to add this little history note to my . . .
