[Tim_Cronin]

Howard, thanks for this. Over and above the call of duty.

[JLahrman]

Thanks again Howard; it's great to have these all in one spot.

[Howard Riefs]

Thanks guys.


Updates in red.

[Howard Riefs]

Updated.

Really enjoying revisiting the 1913 US Open and the Disneyesque story of Ouimet and Lowery.  A nice piece in the Globe on Lowery's daughter, his only surviving child.

Good luck to young Mr. Fitzgerald. Silver medal for low am at the Open, and now on to match play in Brookline. Go Cats!!

Mr. Fitzgerald has some serious game...

[Dan_Callahan]

Keep your eye on the Australians. As a group, they are playing as well as anyone I saw. Very, very impressive.

[Howard Riefs]

Updated.

I'm admittedly pulling for 17-year-old Nick Hardy from nearby Northbrook, Ill.  Even if he did commit to play for University of Illinois.  

[Mark Smolens]

Down goes the Illini  . Go Cats

[Howard Riefs]

Down goes the Illini  . Go Cats

Jumping ahead of myself, time to start pulling for Bobby Wyatt to take down the Cats in the round of 16...

Or not. Wyatt lost in the round of 32.

Nice playing by Fitzpatrick. Good article about the future Wildcat:
