I think the Lee Westwood types that everyone forgot about and don't care about won big too
Now the top players will earn NFL money but not the has beens
I would have taken the money except if I was Tiger
Brooks took the money and got healthy and is now back. Another winner

McIlroy, who also attended, reportedly didn’t say much during the meeting, except for one brief exchange with Grayson Murray.
“He only responded to Grayson when Grayson was going off on tangents, outbursts, saying like, ‘We don’t trust you, Jay! You should resign right now! You lied to our face!'” said the anonymous player. “I forget exactly what led to this, but Rory goes, ‘Just play better, Grayson,’ and that got a bad response from the crowd.”
And according to two sources, Murray, a recent winner on the Korn Ferry Tour, responded to McIlroy by telling him to, “F--- off!”
Bryan later said on Twitter that Murray and McIlroy “were cordial and pleasant post-meeting” as McIlroy stuck around to provide some insight and answer questions. “We chatted as a group of players, and we were laughing about the comment,” Bryan said. “No beef or hard feelings either way.”

The best US Open courses are always in CA. How did LA get it this time? Seems like they always rotate through TP, Pebble Beach and Olympic in SF.
Sad that @RaceBannon moved back to the shite hole that is WA.

Have to disagree with you as an architecture snob. Torrey is one of the worst sites. Olympic is marginal and quite uninteresting. Pebble can be good, but it really needs a renovation. Rivera is a better course than all of those hands down.
Shinnecock and Oakmont are hands down the best two rotation sites.
For christ's sake, The Lodge at Torrey Pines is an architectural masterpiece. I've had many romantical getaways there.
I've walked Pebble and Torrey. Big fan. Not a big northeast old school USGA guy. I do like the Riviera tournament every year
The US Open can be boring or great anywhere
Agree that Olympic sucks
Ben Hogan, Arnie, and Payne all lost to nobodies there

Ok Billy Casper is somebody
Really? Olympic looks so cool on TV and in pics. I've only driven by it thought and never walked around the actual course.
My issue with Torrie is pure course snobbery. It is on some of the best property you could ever ask for, but the course doesn’t use hardly any of it. Bunkers on both sides of the landing zones and crazy thick rough everywhere else. Not much strategy required there. It’s boring in February or June.
Full disclosure (it's not obvious already) - I'm a total hacker and not nearly the golf aficionado that some of you all are. But I enjoy the game and am trying slowly to get better.
I think when I've been at Torrey Pines (never played it) hiking around and what not I get distracted by the property and views. So yeah, maybe it lacks some of the interesting features that other US Open level courses have.
