Well the US Open was quite an event!

There was the usual USGA controversy on Saturday with some crazy pin positions that led to some very high scores. Had they put the pins in flat spots there would have been no complaints but the doesn’t seem to be the USGA’s way. It’s strange that week in week out on regular PGA Tour events the courses are setup relatively easy yet ever year without fail they set the US Open up with sometimes ridiculous conditions.

I really think they need to take a look at how the R&A set up for The Open Championship. The one big talking point though was Phil Mickelson, as surprised as I was to see him hit his ball whilst moving, therefore stopping it from rolling off the green, I was even more surprised by his interview where he said it was something he had thought about doing over the years and today he did it!!

Then also going on to say he had used the rules to his advantage I thought was particularly poor. It will be interesting to see the reaction to this over the coming months. Well done to Brooks Koepka though his all-round game over the weekend was superb in particular his putting where he holes so many crucial par saves.
