This was one of the best championships ever conducted. Fantastic venue, so many great players in the mix, including Tiger, and Payne Stewart winning with that final putt, just epic.

The greens on Pinehurst No.2 look scary. Are they some of the most challenging in the world?

Pinehurst, Shinnecock and Pebble Beach are the best golf courses for the U.S. Open!!

Yeah yeah, pretty impressive but id like to see one of these guys win the true gold standard, the players championship, a real major.
