There won’t be any 63s in this US Open. The winning score will NOT be 16-under par. Which, whether they admit it or not, is a relief to officials at the USGA.
On Sunday at the FedEx St Jude Classic, Andrew Putnam will play in the final pairing for the first time in his career thanks to a second-straight six-under 64.
This is the hidden brilliance of the USGA. The things they do may be wrong, but they function as a bright spotlight, exposing the most sanctimonious, whine-prone players in the sport.
