I enjoyed the US Open. Indeed there are many gifted players on the circuit today. It is what creates the drama. It gets really boring when just a few players get all the media attention and too predictable when the usual suspects win. Perhaps its just me but I lose interest.
Penalties in any sport can create controversy but in this case it was the fact that the USGA waited too log to determine Johnson's penalty. It did add to the drama though.
It was nice to see Dustin Johnson finally win a major. He is Captain Crunch but his putting ranked 45th so it was a bit of a surprise to see him pull it off especially on these greens
Oakmont has always had the fastest green on the tour. I was saddened that they remove over 7600 trees.
