Okay, here's your leaderboard after back-to-back bogies by Phil and back-to-back-to-back birdies by Duval:

Glover, -4, 16
Duval, -3, 16
Mickelson, -2, 17
Barnes, -2, 16
Fisher, -2, 16

Phil had a great tee shot at 18. Hunter Mahan, playing with Phil, has fallen apart and is at even. Everyone else is in the clubhouse at Even or worse. This tournament is now Glover's to lose. We'd love to see Phil birdie 18 to get it to -3, and put the pressure on Duval and Glover. And if this thing goes to a playoff, doesn't Barnes deserve a spot in there, too?

UPDATE 12:59: Duval and Fisher just dropped a shot. Glover leads by 2. Mickelson has a long putt for birdie on 18.

UPDATE 1:02: Phil misses by two inches. Pars 18 to finish at -2. Barring a collapse by Glover, Phil, Amy, and fam are off to Hawaii.

UPDATE 1:12: Duval misses his own putt on 18 by a couple inches, to join Phil in the clubhouse at 18. Glover is up by two strokes and hit a 6-iron off the 18th tee, playing it very safe. Barnes pulls out his driver and hits a bullet down the center of the fairway. Barnes needs to knock it close and convert for a birdie and hope that Glover puts up a bogie to force a playoff.

UPDATE 1:18: Glover is away on the 18th green. About 10 feet beyond Barnes on the same line.

UPDATE 1:21: Glover wins!

If you're like us, you've watched so much of the rain-soaked U.S. Open this weekend that when you went home for Father's Day dinner yesterday, your shoes were soaked, you took along an extra red shirt, and you called the whole thing off due to darkness around 8 p.m. So where do things stand this morning?

- Everyone's back out there on the course, with Ricky Barnes, who led by as many as six strokes yesterday, still the leader at -7. He's on the fourth hole with Lucas Glover, who's at -6.
- Hunter Mahan and Ross Fisher are at -3 on the fifth, and Phil Mickelson stands alone in fifth place at -2.
- Peter Hanson, Bubba Watson, Retief Goosen, and Mike Weir are the only four other players under par for the tournament. They're six strokes off the pace at -1.
- And where's Tiger?  Keep Reading »

Round 2 of the U.S. Open is finally underway at Bethpage Black (Mike Weir is your leader at -6), and since there's at least 20 hours of golf watching on tap for the next three days (this thing's going until Monday), we thought we'd give you a drinking game. Additional suggestions are more than welcome.

Take a drink every time a player...
Makes a birdie or double bogey.
Makes a 20-foot or more putt or misses a 4-foot or less putt
Gets a sandy (up and down from a bunker)
Hits a shot out of rough more than a foot tall.

Take two drinks every time NBC...
Shows a clip from the 2002 Open at Bethpage Black.
Shows a clip from last year's Tiger vs. Rocco showdown.
Shows an amateur's shot and follows it immediately with the amateur leaderboard.

Take three drinks every time one of the NBC commentators...  Keep Reading »

It's raining at Bethpage. Get used to that statement, because it's going to be a constant refrain all weekend. And we'll just say it: if they want to get all four rounds in for this 2009 U.S. Open, this thing might need to go until Tuesday. Let's hope there isn't a playoff after that.

So what's the update? Well, here are your leaders as of 10:16 a.m., when the heavens completely opened up and constant rain turned into an absolute downpour: Jeff Brehaut, Johan Edfors, Andrew Parr, and Ryan Spears. Who? Yeah, us neither. That foursome is at -1. Ian Poulter, Justin Leonard, Angel Cabrera, Bubba Watson, and three others are all one stroke behind at Even.

So where's Tiger?  Keep Reading »
