Well that was really…..wet, wasn’t it? The first three rounds were a little..confusing actually. Trying to keep track of which round it was. And was the coverage you were watching live, or what was played before they called things off because of rain. Did you see them squeegeeing off the greens? And the huge splashes of water when players hit out of the rough? Those first three rounds were just barely watchable. But the last round today, that was great golf. Congratulations to Lucas Glover. He really earned this one.
Although I have to tell you, here at The Household we were really, REALLY, pulling for David Duval. He is a long time favorite around here and we have been hoping he would eventually get his game back. He almost managed to pull it off. I had to be careful not to cheer at work when he made the birdie on 15. Yes, yes, I admit, I was a less than stellar employee today until it was over. But I wasn’t so bad as to actually stream it. I followed Jason Sobel’s blog over on ESPN, and The Golfer was watching at home and sending me minute by minute updates via IM. Ain’t technology wonderful?
It would have been better to actually watch it, but at least this way I didn’t have to listen to Johnny Miller. Honestly NBC, you have GOT to get rid of him. I’m sure he’s a very nice guy. The other announcers seem to actually like him. But I want to put duct tape over his mouth and make him sit in the corner. He is just too snooty and snarky, and full of himself to be allowed any where near a microphone. Please, please, PLEASE, tear up his contract and change the locks on the announcer booth door.
So the 2009 US Open is officially in the (soggy) books. Next major: The Open, Turnberry Scotland, July 16-19.
