Well, it looks as though the Olympic Club won this one. The USGA really makes the American championship difficult. That golf course looked so tough I felt like I wouldn’t even attempt to play it in that condition. I’m sure not much fun was had by all. It was somewhat deflating to see my heroes being humiliated. None of the greatest players in the game under par. It is a hard game after all.
But, hope springs eternal. A good new major champion in Webb Simpson and a look at the possible future of golf in Beau Hossler. That was fun. That is one poised young man. Do you think he knew what was happening, the gravity of the situation? I have a feeling he may have been enjoying a glimpse into his future!
One final observation. It wasn’t the big hitters ahead down the stretch. If you can control your ball flight and keep it in play off the tee, have a nifty little short game and make some putts, you are a match for anybody. Practice with a purpose!
