Heartbreak on his birthday for Mickelson in Open
This wasn't the way it was supposed to end, not on Phil Mickelson's birthday and not at Merion Golf Club, where history will record with little fanfare outside of England that Justin Rose won his first major championship.
When the rain began falling on the back nine Sunday after Mickelson pitched in for an eagle on the 10th hole to take the lead in the U.S. Open, you half...

Mahan can blame 15 for lost US Open
Tied for the U.S. Open lead, Hunter Mahan was on cruise control.
He was the steadiest player for most of Sunday at Merion Golf Club, ripping off par after par after par to stay in the hunt.
Then he hit No. 15.
Mahan's tee shot sailed into the rough. So did his second. Just like that, Mahan's Open run was over.
He fell from a three-way tie for first after his double-bogey...

Justin Rose wins US Open, Mickelson falls again

Video: Luke Donald's errant shot knocks down volunteer
Luke Donald had a rough day at the U.S. Open Sunday, but perhaps not as rough as the poor volunteer he struck with an errant shot.The fateful moment came when Donald drove his tee-shot on the Par 3 third hole well off to the left side of the green and appeared to have struck the unsuspecting lady in the head. Thus, knocking her to the ground.Donald was visibly shaken by the accident...
Rory McIlroy Breaks Club After Hitting Approach Shot Into Water at U.S. Open (GIF)
Rory McIlroy did not have a very good U.S. Open. The former U.S. Open (2011) and PGA Championship (2012) winner finished at +14 for the tournament and was +6 during the final round on Sunday at Merion Golf Club.
McIlroy’s frustrations got the best of him on the 11th hole when he bent one of his new Nike clubs after hitting his approach shot into the water. He finished the hole...
Shawn Stefani: First to ever score hole-in-one in U.S. Open at Merion
PGA Tour rookie Shawn Stefani made history during the final round of the U.S. Open on Sunday, with a hole-in-one. Stefani’s tee shot on the difficult 229-yard par-3 17th hole bounced off the rough on a slope to the left of the green.
Steve Stricker with an amazing shank
The US Open is the one golf event that makes professional’s feel like mere mortals. What? You mean golfers aren’t immortal? Yeah, bad analogy. Well, PGA Tour golfers are amazing at what they do, but they struggle at the US Open. Sometimes, we only see a couple of players breaking par for the tournament. Ya see, it’s the one event that makes us sit there and watch shots and...
YOU MAD, BRO?
McIlroy bends club after shot into the water
Rory McIlroy has not been playing well since signing his mega-deal with Nike. On #11 on Sunday at the US Open he fired his drive into Cobbs creek. After taking a drop in the fairway, he hit his third shot right back into Cobbs creek. Rory was visibly frustrated and jammed his club into the ground, bending the steel shaft. Because Rory didn’t break the club on a shot, he...
NICE SLACKS
Bill Horschel rocks awesome octopus pants
Well, this certainly isn’t the outfit I would have chosen for the Final Round of the US Open but I guess to each their own. No wonder Horschel says that these pants were “highly anticipated and highly controversial.” Even though he’s joking, he knows that pants like these will be too crazy for the conservative golf crowd.

Groundhog interrupts Phil Mickelson on fairway at US Open (Video)
Phil Mickelson was briefly delayed before taking his second shot on the 6th hole in Friday's second round of the US Open tournament when a groundhog ran across the fairway.
Mickelson hit for par on the hole and finished second overall at the end of the round, so the interruption by the groundhog was not a big distractoin.

Bubba and Rickie Fowler do some videobombing

Check out the duo pulling off two fairly epic videobombs during TV interviews given by Jason Day and Matteo Manassero.
