  • The US Open is easily my favorite of the golf majors. I don't know if it's the patroitism in me or what, but I'll watch the US Open 10 times out of 10 over the Masters. And Nick Watney made it even better.

  • But on Thursday in Round 1 of the U.S. Open, Nick Watney holed out from the fairway on the par-5, 522-yard 17th. Watney hit a 5-iron from about 190 yards. Thats the second double eagle in as many rounds at a major championship.

  • Or better yet, double eagle. Does that sound absurd? Well that just happened. Having battled through the first eight holes at the stingy Olympic Clubs Lake Course during the first round of the U.S.
