Tiger Survives To Win One Of The Greatest U.S. Opens Ever —
AwfulAnnouncing
Ninety one holes....91!

Yo, USGA: This should be the last 18-hole playoff ever! —
Sports stories from Newsday
As every sane sports fan well knows . . . The USGA's insistence on playing a full playoff round on Monday for the U.S. Open was, is and always will be an awful idea, a profound anti-climax that is unnecessary - especially for a West Coast Open that left ample time for playoff holes after the 6 p.m. PDT finale Sunday.
Sigh.
The good news is that unlike every other Monday playoff in Open ...
