Scottie Scheffler wins again -- Memorial @ Jack Nicklaus place/course in Ohio, Murfield Village. Great test of golf...really hard on Sunday. Scheffler toughed it out even though he could not buy a putt until 18...he is a great competitor.
Now we have the US Open coming -- @ Pinehurst #2 originally designed by Donald Ross, the godfather of golf course architecture. This is totally different from what most professionals play week end and week out. Hard fairways, sketchy rough with sand all over, and pushup greens that repel all but the best shots -- and usually in all directions. This is more British Open golf than US golf.
I'm looking at the better Europeans to do well...Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood. Rory could threaten but his form has not been good for a while. Look out for Cam Smith -- he can putt and chip with the best. Scheffler could do well if he's not too tired from winning this past week. He can also putt and chip with anyone and is the top iron player on the tour.
I was lucky enough to attend the last 2 Opens held here, but not this year. Too much walking for this old body....
Sunday is Father's Day and my son here has asked us to come over after church to eat and watch the tournament together. Nothing better -- other than having my Atlanta son here as well.
Enjoy -- have a great week!
