Americans Fare Well in U.S. Open

Players from America fared very well in this year’s U.S. Open and that’s a pleasant suprise for a change, as they claimed 10 of the top 20 finishing spots on the leaderboard. Bubba Watson was the only real “young gun” on the list, but he needs to feel very proud of how he finished. He took a lot of heat from the broadcast team, but overall he did very well.

The other real American surprise was Lee Janzen. He’s been struggling for years trying to get his game back, and has been using sponsor’s exemptions more often than not. He won the U.S. Open, twice, in 1993, and 1998, although most believe he caught lightning-in-a-bottle, twice, and his struggles since then tend to confirm that belief. Regardless, it was good to see him play well, and maybe this will help get his confidence back.
