The US Open really had a chance to be something great. Els, Lefty, Tiger, some unknown guy, and the biggest hitter on tour all right there at the end. Those guys...especially the unknown Frenchy have to be sick.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really want some French guy to win. Hell, I'd rather see Phil win than the Irishman. Nothing against Irishmen, McDowell seems like a cool dude. Especially when Johnson was driving it 50 yards past him.
However, I'll be pulling for the American pretty much every time...even if that American cheats on his wife and sleeps with porn stars. After all, what's more American that making lots of money and philandering around, right? It's the new American Dream. It worked for Clinton, didn't it? Seriously, who wouldn't want to go have a beer with Slick Willy? Although, something about Tiger is rubbing me the wrong way right now.
Unfortunatley this was an Open that nobody wanted to win. I wanted to see Els or somebody drop a bomb or two and actually win the tournament, not limp to the finish. I think all Lefty had to do was shoot even par on the back 9 to win, but EVERYBODY limped in.
I hate to say it, but I'm glad Dustin Johnson went triple-double early on. Yeah, it sucks, but the Open would have been an extremely boring boat race. Honestly, I would have loved to seen him come back after that two hole abortion and still pull out a win. That would've been the best scenario in my mind.
Finally, for some reason, all these pictures of McDowell hugging the trophy look kind of gay...not that there's anything wrong with that. He's holding it like a baby and it just doesn't look right. Hell, I don't know - probably a stupid point - probably won't be my last.
