"This was the right stroke, in the right tournament, at the right time, for the right player. This was one of those why-we-watch moments, a triumph in the evening fog, a victory for the little guy in a sport increasingly tilted against the little guys. This wasn't a storybook finish storybooks only wish they could be this good."

"I wasn't really groomed to be a professional golfer. I didn't get put through academies. I didn't play [Juniors]. I played local stuff," said Spaun, who still practices at munis alongside everyday golfers to keep himself grounded. "I just kept going, one foot in front of the other … and now here I am with the U.S. Open trophy."

4 days that makes a career and changes an athlete's life forever:

Winning the U.S. Open in golf results in a substantial payday, including a share of the $21.5 million purse, with the champion taking home $4.3 million. The winner also receives a 10-year exemption into the U.S. Open, a five-year exemption into the other three major championships (Masters, Open Championship, and PGA Championship), and a five-year exemption into The Players Championship. Additionally, the champion earns a large number of Official World Golf Ranking points and FedExCup points, and for PGA Tour members, it secures their tour card for five years.

How embarassing for MinotStateBeav, movielover, and bear2034 to be exposed as marks. Again.

Anyway, it's no wonder they are not admitting to their repulsive, rush-to-judgement mistakes. They were fooled by the most obvious propagandists out there.

I still wish them all a happy Father's Day. May they break free of the criminal / con man's chains at some point.


I think they're not "fooled." They know what they're doing.

Well, maybe not Minot. He just might not be too bright.

Bingo!

I was riveted to my TV for hours yesterday. How JJ Spaun bogeyed 5 of his first 6 holes and somehow kept grinding away and won the tournament despite his start is hard to fathom. He made some brilliant shots on the last three holes while the rain and soggy conditions made everyone else play like I do (20+ handicap). It was very entertaining.

A buddy texted me after Round 3 and proposed a bet: We each picked 2 players. Whoever got the 1st pick would then get the 4th pick. I let my buddy take the 1st pick and 4th and I got pick 2 and 3.

His 1st pick was Sam Burns and his 4th Adam Scott. I took JJ Spaun and Viktor Hovland.

The bet: If you picked the winner $5. If one of your picks finished higher than both of the other guy's, another $5 (Yes, we're high rolling pensioners).

I didn't want Sam Burns because I feared he isn't a closer based on watching him choke 4 sudden death playoff holes in the Canadian Open last week against Ryan Fox. I didn't want Adam Scott because he is 44 and only a handful of guys (Lefty, Jack, Hale Irwin, Ray Floyd) have won Majors at that age (shot nerves get you).

I picked Spaun and Hovland because they were at the top of the leader board and I didn't think Ortiz would beat them…but a couple of other guys made a run.

Jack Nicklaus was in the booth for a bit Saturday. One of his reflections for success at Oakmont was that when you have a bad hole you have to "take your medicine" and get back to work and not press. I think that was Spaun's key to success. He had the same placid look on his face whether he was making bogey or birdie. He bogied 5 of the first 6 holes but stayed calm. Then he reset during the 90 minute rain delay and came back with a fury.

After the break, Sam Burns, on the other hand, choked makable putts on consecutive holes, then he visibly blew a fuse when he didn't get relief from a wet lie.

Adam Scott's old man nerves kicked in and he derailed.

I won $5 for Spaun winning and another $5 because Viktor Hovland finished higher than both Burns and Scott.

Bakersfield is #20 and BARELY makes your list, which is a different list than you are replying to. This isn't a great argument.

Once again, your reading comprehension is terribly poor.
I can't imagine what you do for a living.
I really can't.

You clearly didn't even bother to read it. Or is your reading comp really this bad?

Bakersfield was listed at #128
SF was dead last at #148

Ever been to Bako?
It's a total crap-hole riddled with high crime rates run by a Republican Mayor since 2016.

Thank you for now posting something that attempts to kind of support your argument. I have been to Bakersfield, an agricultural inland city that has been a crap hole for a long time. The fact that San Francisco is in the same grouping as Bakersfield is alarming and shows how far the great flagship city has fallen, and that Bakersfield isn't much worse.

I am a retired teacher and am a supporter of teachers unions, in general. That said, they need to live in the real world.

What I've seen is it becomes a problem when they are effectively negotiating against themselves, and right now they are, as a majority of the board are endorsed by them. One board member even holds a position with CTA while also holding a board seat. Seems like a clear conflict of interest to me.

In the private sector it's different; the union and management have an adversarial relationship and that can lead to a fair compromise. In the public sector you're spending the public's money and it gets dicey.
