Nightshift Sports: U.S.Open 2018, Final Results
The Golden Season of Classic Sports: U.S.Open 2018

And so it’s over. The 2018 U.S.Open ended with a soon-t0-be-very familiar name at the top of the leaderboard followed closely by another hot young golfer on the way up.
The winner of this year’s U.S.Open–the man who best navigated all four days of a treacherous course and unpredictable weather–is, amazingly, the very same man who laid waste to the cupcake course setup last year, winning the 2017 Open with a 16 under par score. That would be Brooks Koepka, who joins a very short list of golfing greats (six in all, including Curtis Strange, Bobby Jones, and Ben Hogan) who have won the U.S.Open back-to-back.
The irony of Koepka’s win is stunning: the massive under-par score he posted at last year’s Open at Erin Hills was the impetus behind the USGA, the organizing and sanctioning body for the U.S.Open, making the decision to toughen up the course this year and make it a lot more difficult for the golfers. That they did.
Koepka was one over for the tournament. The runner up, Tommy Fleetwood, who posted a very low 63 on the closing day, was two over. In winning on both one of the easiest courses ever set up for a U.S. Open (Erin Hills) and one of the hardest (Shinnecock Hills), Koepka displayed a range of ability that sets him apart from most of the current crop of pros. A really good professional golfer should be really good on all types of courses–we expect it from them and they expect from themselves–but that’s not always how it ends up.
Dustin Johnson, who entered the weekend with a four stroke lead, couldn’t close it out. Tommy Fleetwood, who shot the lowest round of the tournament couldn’t push it over into a win (but he could be very dangerous at The British Open).
Golf’s traditional go-to guys for big wins has a new name: Koepka. As for the old favorites–Speith, Rose, Thomas, Day, Reed, Woods–they’re going to have to get back in the groove. Like the rest of the world, everything is changing in golf and if you’re not moving forward, you’re going backward.
Next up: The British Open.

Nightshift Sports: U.S. Open 2018, Final Round
The Golden Season of Classic Sports: U.S.Open 2018
Embed from Getty Images
Saturday was “moving day” at the U.S. Open, but most of the moving was backwards, not forward. Dustin Johnson dropped from a four stroke lead into a tie with three other golfers (Daniel Berger, Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka); Phil Mickelson had a moment on the greens (he also went 11 over par for the day, currently is at +15 ), Ian Poulter who started the day at +1 ended it at seven over par and, understandably frustrated, trash-talked the USGA for the course setup and the conduct of the fans (they cheered when he hit bad shots–maybe a sign of how much Poulter has gotten under their skins during his bi-annual Ryder Cup appearances, where he has blistered the U.S. in match play).
So–Saturday was brutal. The USGA has said they will try to “soften” up the greens a bit, to enable shots that hit the green to stay there but the personality of this U.S.Open is already set, and last day course setup changes are not going to alter the way the fans view the 2018 event. It’s been wild, very hard, excruciatingly difficult, nuts, zany, unpredictable and–for the casual golf fan–a lot of fun to watch.
Not so much fun for the guys who play golf for a living but..since when is it the job of the tournament organizers–especially at one of the four times a year “majors”– to make it easy on the players? Just play, please, and STFU. OK, you’re going to shoot high–the key to winning is control, and not shooting higher than anyone else. If you’re one of the very lucky few who’s living the dream out on the tour, don’t complain when you hit a nightmare once in a while. Goes with dreamland.
Fox’s coverage of the tournament has been improved, but they still haven’t brought their A game to golf. One of their touted improvements–a ball flight tracker (Trackman) on every hole did not materialize in the first three days. It wasn’t even present on each shot from a threesome on the tee. More work to do there and the commentators, while professional, are not yet inspired. Jim Nance is a tough act to follow.
The tournament ends today and who knows what crazy things will happen today. One thing’s for sure–this tournament is not a walkover like last year’s minus 16 strokes win by Koepka. The golfer with the ability to play to what the course requires vs. what he likes to do is going to be the one who wins.
Stay tuned. All the information on how to do that is below. And Happy Father’s Day.
