US open starts today. Sorry Augusta, it’s the best tourney of the year. Nasty roughs, different course every year, and ANYONE can play in it if you qualify. A true meritocracy, which is a rarity these days.
This year’s open definitely has a different feel with many of the top players deciding they prefer Saudi riyals instead of Uncle Sam’s Greenbacks. Just like college ball, money is ruining golf.
Not sure who I like. I think the players flirting with LIV may not be focused enough to come out on top. I think a 2nd tier player will win. Pulling a name out of a hat, I’ll go Xander Schauffele: won before, been close in majors. It’s his turn.
