What Do Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Rory Mcilroy, Ernie Els And Bubba Watson All Have In Common?


They are all multiple winners of golf’s four major tournaments who will be sitting with Tiger on his dinghy (after two dingy rounds of golf on Thursday and Friday) watching the final two rounds of the U.S. Open off the shores of Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton New York. Six other winners of golf’s major championships will be joining Captain Woods and his buddies on the Minnow, for a total of eleven major champions who missed the cut at this year’s Open.  (Between them, these former champions won 33 major titles.)  Balancing the scales, eleven major champions made the cut, but holding only sixteen titles between them.  (Mickelson and Zach Johnson (?) are the only golfers with multiple majors titles who made the cut, while five of the eleven who failed to make the cut were multiple  winners of golf’s major tournaments.   Mickelson was the second-oldest majors’ winner to make the cut at Shinnecock Hills; Jim Furyk is his elder by 35 days.)
 
Will Anyone Finish Under Par?
That’s one tough golf course, that Shinnecock Hills 2018. Enjoy the rest of the championship.
