The most prestigious event in golf starts Thursday.

(Sorry R&A, you're older but this is the biggie.)

Notably absent: Tiger Woods, recovering from knee, Achilles tendon and personality injuries.

Calling U.S. Open course tough is an understatement

Rory kindof reminding me of a Dustin Johnson last year....lets hope he doesn't get robbed this major like Johnson did last year. And all the other ones he did. ;D

Rory is just KILLING the field. Even with a double on the last hole. -11 par and second place is -5. Hopefully won't blow this 6 shot lead...

He now has a 7 shot lead at -12. Yang dropped back to -4, Jason Day and Lee Westwood are at -5.

It's not a joke as much as an observation of his declining relevance.

Jumeirah is certainly getting its money's worth.

NBC just apologized for this. No explanation, just an apology,

Yes, NBC, we noticed. Everyone noticed.

No collapse this time.

McIlroy -16
Day -8
Chappell, Garrigus, Westwood, Yang -6

The only record he didn't break was Tiger's largest margin of victory (15 strokes).

T'was some of the best golf I have seen in a while, and not just by Rory.

Wasn't very entertaining of a U.S. Open...only because Rory was playing lights out golf and everyone else was pretty much there....for fun. This years Masters had me on the edge of my seat the whole time it was on television. Oh well, onto the next major!  8-)
