There's no sun.

I grew up in Brookline and of course know of "The Country Club" which was the first in the Nation. The funniest thing to me is that it is so exclusive even Tom Brady was not allowed to join when he first applied for membership. I think it took about two years for him and Gisele to be welcomed as members.

Dam, I’m about 125 miles due west of The Country Club and we got full Sun all day with high winds (there are whitecaps on the lake). Just turned on the recording of the open and was surprised to see it cloudy in Brookline.

TB12 and Gisele made an offer to buy land so they could build a home on the golf course and become members of The Ranch Golf Club in Southwick, MA. His offer was contingent on being able to build a private helicopter pad at the home, but the homeowners association denied the request so they pulled the offer. Oh well, on to Tampa Bay.

Bravo Matt Fitzpatrick!

Wow! How exciting was that.
Real edge of the seat stuff.

What a challenging Saturday they had, but that sure led to a very exciting Sunday. I called Fitzpatrick to win, he looked so comfortable, and as they said his "no stage fright" sure helped him in the big moments. What a putt on the 15th!!!!

Did not check the statistics, but I would think that more amateurs made the cut than "paid" LIV players.

I wonder if Greg Norman has a personal financial investment in the LIV tour.

Liv Tour is a great opportunity for has beens and wanna be's....thats not a negative statement...in todays world the hypocrite argument doesn't wash as US does business with them, we do 80% of our business with China, just as bad....so what.....let these boys go out with some money as their days are numbered by the likes of the youngsters coming on the tour, they shoot numbers these guys just do in their dreams....good for them...we will miss you............take the money and run

Hmmmm, number one (Scottie Scheffler) and number two (John Rahm) in the world were on the leaderboard along with former major winners and top players like Hedeki Matsumama, Colin Morikawa, and Rory Mcllroy. Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick are young stars that will be contending for majors for years to come. It was a very impressive leaderboard! Hats off to Fitzpatrick, his bunker shot on 18 was amazing. It was a great final day to watch, right down to the last put.

That was pretty unusual weather for June in Boston.

It was more like a June day on Nantucket. Or as it's known there, June-uary.

More usual than not. Why do u think the top golfers dont like to play in this area. How many times did Tiger Jack or Arnie play in this area. Chi Chi was one of the only regulars

The average temperature at 2:45 PM on June 19th in Boston is 74 degrees.

Today at 2:38 PM it's 75 degrees.

Yesterday at 2:45 PM it was 60.8 degrees.
