Five Years On & G Mac’s Well Prepared To Celebrate U.S. Open Success On West Coast.
Five years after celebrating Father’s Day with victory in the U.S. Open and Graeme McDowell is primed to do it all again on the U.S. West Coast.
McDowell’s 2010 U.S. Open success along the Pacific Ocean shoreline at Pebble Beach ignited a dream victory run for European Tour golf.
His success heralded the start of a period of European dominance, with Northern Ireland compatriot Rory McIlroy winning the 2011 U.S Open, Englishman Justin Rose succeeding in 2013 and Germany’s Martin ...
Justin Rose Not Out To Make U.S. Open History But Backing Danny Willett To Again Shine On U.S. West Coast.
While Justin Rose looks to create golfing history later this week he’s singled out fellow Englishman Danny Willett to impress in this week’s U.S. Open.
Rose broke through to win a maiden Major two years in denying hapless Phil Mickelson to win the 2013 U.S. Open at Pinehurst.
Victory for Rose this week in suburban Tacoma in Washington State would see the 33-
year old become the first Brit in 110-years to win two U.S. Open titles.
Rose will be making his 10th U.S. Open appearance whereas the ...
World No. One Ranked Rory McIlroy Fancies One Tree Chambers Bay.
World No. 1 Rory McIlroy fancies his chances on ‘One Tree’ Chambers Bay and venue for this week’s U.S. Open
The Washington State venue is a newcomer to the Major Championship roster, and among a host of anomalies has only one tree, three of the four longest par fours in the event’s history, and alternating pars on the first and 18th holes – either can be a par four or five, but they will play an aggregate par of nine for every round.
However, McIlroy believes that beyond ...

Greg Norman … ‘That White Noise Will Be A Distraction’ To U.S. Open Competitors
Double Major winning Greg Norman will make his fully-fledged debut as a TV analyst for FOX Sports at next week’s U.S. Open.
Norman got a first taste of being behind the microphone last December when FOX covered the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Naples, Florida.
However with just a week to go before he co-anchors FOX coverage of the year’s traditional second Major and Norman has come up with a phase not normally heard by fellow TV analysts working for either CBS, SKY or BBC.
The phrase ...
Justin Rose Double U.S. Open Success Could Hinge On Chambers Bay Crowd Behaviour.
Justin Rose believes his goal of capturing a second U.S. Open title in three years could hinge on the behaviour of American fans.
Twice in recent weeks a minority of beer-fuelled Stateside louts have made their presence felt with some of Europe’s best player in contention for victory.
There was incidents involving Spain’s Sergio Garcia when in the frame for success at the Players Championship and then last week Rose was far from pleased when a lout shouted on the Englishman’s downswing ...
Champagne Moment For Bernie At Gullane Golf Club.
It was a long overdue champagne moment for your author on the occasion of the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open media outing earlier this week at Gullane Golf Club to the east of Edinburgh.
I was one of the last to arrive along with being among the last to tee off and then I was also close to being the last to walk from the Scottish Open championship course just after 6.30pm local time.
It had been one of the best days in living memory in Scotland with the sun shining brightly and hardly a ...
