I have been pulling for Jordan Spieth (native Texan, Longhorns fan), and enjoyed watching the Masters.  The U.S. Open last weekend was great drama!<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, we got a full dose of complaints, mostly along the lines of how much the course stunk (and was a complete disgrace to the U.S. Open).  So it is nice to see some <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/golf\/story\/_\/id\/13142062\/putting-bow-jordan-spieth-us-open-win-chambers-bay\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/espn.go.com\/golf\/story\/_\/id\/13142062\/putting-bow-jordan-spieth-us-open-win-chambers-bay', 'statistics');\" target=\"_blank\">statistics<\/a> to backup the notion that the Chambers Bay course wasn\u2019t a disaster:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 25 sub-par scores on the first day were the most in the U.S. Open since 1992. There were eight players who finished under par for the tournament. Louis Oosthuizen tied a U.S. Open record by shooting 29 over nine holes during his final round. And the final-round scoring average of 71.29 was the lowest for any round in 115 years of the tournament.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Was the course <em>that<\/em> bad?  Maybe.  The reality is everyone had the same conditions.  We are still talking about it \u2026 so that should be worth something.<\/p>\n<p>Will I now what the Open in three weeks?  You bet!
