I want to see Uncle Beef in the mix on the back nine. Henrik and Phil might have to come back to the field a couple strokes for that to happen though.

This is starting to look like the '99 U.S. Open battle between Lefty and Payne Stewart. These guys are trading blows. It's sure to go down to the 18th.

Got to feel bad for Phil. Beats the field by 11 shots and still finishes 3 back of Stenson.

JB with his second top 5 in a major this year. I think he wins one eventually.

It was great to see Henrik Stenson fire a final round 63 to win. Making him and Johnny Miller the only 2 to do it. Even better that Johnny Miller had to watch it before his very eyes

On another note, I was disappointed in NBC's final round coverage. We barely saw any shots of the golfers besides Phil and Stenson. I get that it was a runaway between those 2, but Holmes and Stricker finished 3rd and 4th respectively and we saw maybe 5 of their shots combined, and almost all were putts. It would have been nice to see some shots by the other guys in between Phil and Stenson's epic battle.

Stenson's putter had always been his problem in the past, he got that figured out now or at least this week he did. With that 3W of his and the way he hits his irons he one tough golfer when he hitting his putts.

Just looked to see how the Ryder Cup standings changed after the open. JB went from the outside looking in at #12 to #5 and an automatic pick! Last Ryder Cup the US won has JB on it. Hope he makes it again.

Top 10 at the PGA and should be enough for him to clinch a spot. I think a team of DJ, Bubba and JB on home soil can be dangerous. Love III can set the course up to let those guys bomb it.
