Architecture’s best rule is: Use what’s there. Sometimes that’s a perfect landscape, a Shinnecock Hills with wild grasses, sand ridges, a distant bay. Sometimes it’s Florida citrus land, a pasture and canals.
Phil Mickelson’s brush with the rule book got him in hot water at Shinnecock Hills. Unlike his actions at the US Open, however, Mickelson’s latest snafu was self-enforced.
In mentioning that he had just dropped an F-bomb somewhere else, Stenson dropped another F-bomb before being told he was on live TV. And his reaction was priceless:
Rickie Fowler’s pursuit of a first Major championship will continue next week at the US Open. For now, he’s content celebrating one of life’s major milestones.
All is not lost for Scott. There is another cutoff for players inside the top 60 in the world after the FedEx St Jude Classic (June 11), just as US Open week begins.
His play continues to encourage, and there’s no doubt in his mind he’s going to seal the deal in a US PGA Tour event some time in the future. Maybe even the very near future.
