I scored two US Open tickets from work, so Corrie and I joined the 42,498 others at Torrey Pines on Thursday. We searched for the best available bleacher seating and settled on the fairway/green 17th hole. Great place to see the approach shot and putting. With practice, the bleacher crowd got into a rhythm of standing to watch the approach shots and sitting for the putting.
I estimate that 15 to 20,000 people were following the Tiger, Phil, and Scott Adams trio. As the Big 3 were playing thru the course, we could see the masses moving hole to hole. We waited 3+ hours for the Big 3 at 17. What a zoo. Pity for the trio following the Big 3; because everyone was leaving while they continued to play.
After the Big 3 finished 17, Corrie and I walked the course and saw the other golfers. Actually saw a 3-put – Hey, I can do that!
Corrie won a golf bag with the longest driver (340 yards!) at a driving range simulation game.
