That's some good golf.<br /><br />Phil Mickelson says that this is the best set-up for the U.S. Open he's ever seen -- that the USGA wisely made the tough holes tougher but allowed the players to have some birdie opportunities as well. That's very encouraging, because that would imply that this tournament might feature lots of birdies and bogeys -- which would be preferable to the endless grinding pars you often see at the National Open.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-44154508602029795022013-06-13T16:30:26.731-04:002013-06-13T16:30:26.731-04:00No one in the DC area has gotten to watch golf sin...No one in the DC area has gotten to watch golf since about 3:05 P.M., as Channel 4 has been doing weather coverage the whole time.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-87357574786005276962013-06-13T16:22:25.534-04:002013-06-13T16:22:25.534-04:00After so much rough weather, Merion is now running...After so much rough weather, Merion is now running in luck -- they were expecting another round of bad weather at 4 P.M., but now it looks as though that weather will bypass Philly to the south.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-42393487893883566352013-06-13T16:05:40.498-04:002013-06-13T16:05:40.498-04:004 P.M.
