Phil Mickelson wins!

 

[volinbham]

Why would you play the St. Judes prior to this US Open?

The course and rough are nothing like Pebble. It was hotter then heck with high humidity which has to take it's toll.

I know most avoided it but why did a guy like Lee Westwood bother?

Love this tournament

Woods Westwood Els get featured thursday start time... 1:36

Live video has started at usga.org. Mickelson just teed off. Scores so far range from -1 to +3

 

[volinbham]

USGA has made fairways extend to the drop off to the beach on many holes. Rather than the diabolical rough of a US Open, they've decided to punish players with wayward drives by having their ball roll right off to the beach.

Should be interesting.

Been looking forward to this, if for no other reason than to see if Tiger gets it together. That is not to denigrate the rest of the field by any means. I truly have learned to love this game.

 

[orangeblooded2]

I'm assuming those tee-off time are PST?

 

[volinbham]

Nice flop with the 64 degree for Phil. 4 footer uphill for par on second hole (#11).

 

[orangeblooded2]

Noticed Phil has the same pairing that Tiger had at the Masters.

 

[volinbham]

Harrington is looking solid -1 after three with good looking shots.

 

[orangeblooded2]

Was within a foot of being -2.

 

[orangeblooded2]

First time Phil has show that, the ability to not do something like that.

 

[NWGVol]

Harrington is looking solid -1 after three with good looking shots.

From solid to a train wreck. How often do you see these guys hit 3 knots on a par 5? He might make a 7 here.

Was away for a while - my how things have changed.

K.J. Choi

Looking like a good call right now.

He started poorly (+3 after 2 holes!) but is now at -3 (sole lead) after 14 (six birdies in twelve holes).

 

[volinbham]

Molinari was playing well all day but got a rude welcome to the US Open; seven over on his last seven holes including a double and triple. Yikes

If the winds starts kicking up, that setup could get mean.

 

[emainvol]

Tiger is going to win it, and I am going to be owed a lot of Jack Daniels.

 

[emainvol]

And on the first hole, Tiger misses an eagle by about 3 inches on the backspin.

How much did he miss the birdie by?
