Misc. Thursday Reads
Thursday, June 23, 2005 at 09:20 AM Lorne Rubenstein on Golfobserver looks at Michael Campbell and some of the choking that took place at Pinehurst. Chris Lewis at SI.com offers some fun behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the U.S. Open.
Hardly any interesting U.S. Women’s Open preview stories. Might have to chalk that up to the brilliant idea to play it the week after the men’s, all so NBC can plug it during the telecast.

The Broadmoor will host the 2008 U.S. Senior Open , Saucon Valley gets the 2009 Women's Open, while the Ocean Course looks like it'll be getting a PGA Championship, making 2012 a very interesting hurricane season! In a complete coincidence, Roger Warren, the Director of Golf for Kiawah Island Resorts, just happens to be the current president of the PGA of America.
