Every morning/afternoon we parked at Hartwood Acres, got a shuttle. Took us ten minutes to get from A to B. Not bad considering that they were maxing around 55,000 people.

First day we walked the course. Friday and Saturday we followed Tiger and Sunday we took the bleacher's at 18 (early).

to no suprise, the nbc announcers commented how the gallery cheers for jim furyk was the loudest they had ever heard for him. too bad his good sunday wasnt enough.

i did get a kick of cabrera puffing down cigs in between shots though.

We were pulling for Furyk. He blew it on 17. Instead of going iron he went driver. Big mistake. 17 screwed him.

Eitherway, great tournament. The hardest tournament which made it the greatest in my opinion. Great weather and great atmosphere in general. Oakmont did it up good.

I watched the final round all day Sunday. Man! If Oakmont is that tough for the best golfers in the world I can only imagine how it is for us mere mortals!

The one I really feel sorry for is Baddely-that triple bogey on the 1st pretty much cooked him.

It is that tough. The greens are like marble. I liked how Poulter sported the B&G on Saturday. That was pretty cool coming from a guy who's from England. I could understand guy's like Furyk and Curtis sporting the B&G.

How about Tiger renting out an Oakmont home/mansion? He completely reburbished the whole house. Brought in his own furniture and completely recarpted the whole house. That's how you know you have too much money...lol.
