Jeremy,
I agree with you. Monty said he had a 6I but changed to an 7I to take
account of the adrenalin rushing through his veins, but hit it heavy. He
certainly made the sports reporter of USA Today who wrote him off after the
first day that Monty look a bit stupid. Shows who little he knows. How many
other golfers have been 2nd four times in the US Open?
