And he's never won that major before either.

Now I guess he's gonna win the U.S. Open? ;)

P.S. Eh, I was wrong. He won it in 2005 too! And I fixed the above, since he's won the British Open (I didn't realize they just call that the Open. I guess the British are claiming it's the real open since that's where golf started?)

Actually he won the PGA in 2005. Edit- I see you saw that

You have to admit Phil's golf career has been all over the map.

I also got confused by "The Open," and didn't realize that's the same thing as The British Open. The only one he hasn't won is the U.S. Open. Yet. :)

So, the Masters is played in 1 location. The Brit Open and PGA rotate locations. How does the US Open work? I can't remember.

The U.S. Open is all over the place. As long as it's somewhere in the U.S., that is. ;)

Cool, thanks. Would seem like the British Open would be located in 1 spot. Torrential rain (South)/ gale force winds (Scotland). I guess that's the point.

I was in Pinehurst many years ago on a golf trip and they had one of the courses closed to get ready for the US Open. And it was around 5 years away. That's how much time they put into getting a course ready for that tournament.

I heard Phil paid 280 to 1 for his victory. Wouldn’t be surprised if he bet on himself, like Charlie Hustle.
