Looking Back at Bethpage
June 23rd, 2009 | Published in PGA Tour, U.S. Open
Congratulations to Lucas Glover for a well played US Open! Lucas kept his composure and perservered through an extremely difficult US Open experience for all concerned.
Congratulations are also in order to Craig Currier, his support staff, and also to the USGA - great course set-up with the graduated rough, using different tee boxes to control the distance and fairness in terrible weather conditions, and also for the pin location decisions. I witnessed the USGA using a smart-level to make sure their pin locations were not on an unfairly sloped area. Remember the pin locations on 14 and 17? These were brilliant.
I saw a lot of friends and co-Golf-workers covering the US Open like Marc Carnevares of The New York Times. Great to see Mark back on the course.

My hat is also off to my friend Phil Mickelson. He played with intensity and focus all week, under conditions I cannot imagine. I have nothing but respect for the way Phil carried himself all week at Bethpage. He was all smiles and thumbs-up for the incredibly vocal and encouraging New York crowd. They love him and he loves them: it was a great tournament. Phil has the heart of a Champion, and almost pulled off one of the most amazing stories any of us could have possibly witnessed.

I can’t say enough about Phil and Amy Mickelson and their family-first priorities. From everyone at PelzGolf, our hearts and prayers are with you both. Thank you for a wonderful US Open and we’re all looking forward to a wonderful future with you in perfect health again. We love you Amy!
And So Do We
