That was one AWESOME final round. Literally with about an hour to go, there were 6 or 7 guys that had very realistic chances of winning. Glover hung on well today, but I will admit that I was really pulling for Mickelson and Duval. Just can't imagine how mentally fried Mickelson has to be tonight - hopefully ebverything in the welfare of his family will turn out 100% perfect in the coming weeks!

Yeah lets hope that all goes well for Philly Mick and his wife !

PS Doc : How'd the NEW BOOTS work 4 ya ???

New boots worked GREAT there Warp! Gave them a strong water/mudproof test starting almost with the 1st step after I got onto the grounds :eek: By the time I was done, they'd passed the mud up to my ankles test with DRY, flying colors!

It was still one of the funniest things to see both days when I was down there, folks showing up wearing sandals, flip flops, dress shoes, heels, canvas sneakers and lots of white + khaki pants - they look of often terror on their faces when they realized what they had to walk through and how dirty they were going to get was priceless!

I will give the USGA credit though in their attempts to deal with mother nature and the fan walkways, I'd bet that there's hardly a bale of hay available within 15 miles of the course after all that the USGA bought and spread in an attempt to transform the walkways from a true mud pit to just a muddy path. They also brought in probably well over 100 yards of gravel to use in some of the walkway/parking lot areas that aren't usually parts of holes on the adjacent courses at Bethpage.
