💭 Tough Course, Tough Crowd

It’s a brutal reality: the rough is thick and the greens are slick, and USGA pins that leave no room for error. That’s why we love (or hate) the U.S. Open. So while these stars are headed home early, the surviving field has one clear message — par is still your friend.

Pour one out for your favorite, then buckle up: moving day is next, and there’s a trophy still up for grabs.
