The U.S. Open is currently underway at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, NY and even though fans are not allowed at this year’s event, Rick Pitino found a way.
Pitino, now head coach of the Iona Gaels, lives on the golf course, and has been watching from his backyard behind the 3rd hole green.

Must be nice! Earlier this month, Pitino tweeted a picture of himself playing the same hole:
Getting ready to lay up on the 235 yard Par 3 at Winged Foot. Good Luck with the rough, if you can find your ball 😂 pic.twitter.com/BpcapbebDl

Today also happens to be Pitino’s 68th birthday. Not a bad way to celebrate.
