US Open 2002

[knvb]

Is anyone watching this tourney? I just heard that Tiger Woods is the only one under par. The projected cut is +10. I also heard this is the longest US open in history (yards), but just exactly how long is it? For the cut to be +10 that's fcuking crazy....

KNVB,

Haven't seen anything but highlights from yesterday.........as for the length it is 7200 yards which isn't the longest course but the fact that par is 70 and not the usual 72, is adding strokes quickly! It is the longest par 70 course to be played in US Open history though.

After 2 rounds, Tiger leads at -5 [I think]... Garcia sits in 3rd at +2 and someone [Padraig?] is in second at -1

492 and 499 yard par 4's? You might as well call them par 5's and scores look a couple of shots lower... It's absolute score that wins anyway.
