Looks to be a great tourney... with Tiger, Phil and Bubba paired for the first two days.

Ima be out of town today and tomorrow but hopefully I'll get to catch some of it later tonight... should be on late due to the west coast venue.

Have you seen #16? 670 yard par 5... that's crazy even for the open...

I will be watching every moment I get a chance to. I am out in SF about 4 or 5 times a year and have had the great opportunity to play both the Lakes and Ocean courses at Olympic.

The Lakes course is built for Tiger to win, so I wouldn't be surprised if he carries this tourney.

Side note that doesn't mean anything: I am a 2 handicap and I didn't shoot better than an 87 on either course from the men's tees. This tournament will be a great one.

Yeah these pros are mostly all +2 to +10... I might could break 90 if I played great, I'm playing at a 9 handicap now.

Props to Dpantherman for telling me about the USOpen app... Watching the marquee group now on my phone... 4G is so awesome.

And props to you for just now telling me about the USOpen app as well. Downloading it now.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
