    It's U.S. Open week y'all.

    This year the United States Open Championship returns to historic Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA; the site of Ben Hogan's memorable victory in 1950. Will we see a shot as astounding as the 1-iron Hogan hit on the 72nd hole in 1950?

    Tiger, Rory, and Adam grouped together for the first two rounds? :eek:

    Tiger Woods vs. Steve Williams? :eek:

    GO TIGER. :)

    P.S. What do y'all think of the wicker baskets at Merion?

    I understand the tradition of the baskets at the course, but I thing they should have been removed for the Open. The tournament is bigger than the course it's played on. Just my opinion.

    That's a crazy grouping for the early rounds. Can't be an accident or coincidence.

    Still have to think Tiger is the favorite. If he can get to Sat with or within a couple shots of the lead, I think he's going to get his major.

    I'm rooting for Tiger because he's the only golfer I know.

    Sergio vs. Philly fans should be interesting as well

    Hopefully the course dries out.

    Not that I would have a concern about him winning, but that certainly isn't going to help his already extremely fragile personality. He'll crack before he makes the turn in the first round.

    Can I actually watch the whole round on Thursday and Friday? I hate the Masters for that.

    Coverage from 9-6 on a combo of espn and NBC

    The weather is going to be a huge factor though.

    Tiger should retire and become a coach.

    Should be an awesome final round. This course is crazy hard.
