    How is a golf course in the Pacific Northwest in the late spring/ early summer completely brown?

    The problem I have with the course, is that luck plays a much larger role in the tournament than I would like. The player hits what he thinks is a good shot and then he crosses his fingers and hopes the ball doesn't roll into a bad spot. Well struck shots are not always being rewarded.

    The course really is an embarrassment for the USGA, but it's an entertaining tournament nonetheless.

    Dustin Johnson what a choke. That's what you get for being a coke head

    Kinda anticlimactic, after Jordan made that birdie to go 6 under.

    It wasn't anticlimactic at all. Jordan made a putt to go five under not six under. Johnson could have won it with an eagle putt on the last hole. He three putted to lose it on the last hole. I would have liked a playoff, but it was one of the most exciting finishes I've seen.

    Well, I hope he didn't tune out early, because the last couple of holes were very exciting.
