Does anyone recover from apparently career-threatening injuries quicker than Spain? Probably a loaded question.

NBC says Sunday at Travelers drew 4.2 million viewers; Yankees-Red Sox followed and did 4 million. Day started with KPMG Women's PGA that got its most for final round since 2005 (Annika's second straight major) at 1.4 million.

Peter Uihlein, James Nicholas, Matthew Jordan and Caleb Surratt made it through 36-hole qualifying for US Open and British Open.

USA chants at a PGA Tour event are still annoying, but it's feels much more like good banter during a World Cup year than a Ryder Cup year.

Playoff is considered a new round. So there will be lift clean and place this morning

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Eugenio repping Southern Hills on the hat and O-State on the shirt is a good look. Not sold on the shorts ...

When the PGA Tour needed someone to help unveil its new format, it turned to its biggest star, warts and all. Tiger Woods helped shape the tour now and in the future.

But did he need to be there in these troubled times? On an eternal codependence.

Good read here. Worth pointing out that the loyal Arnie fans were so mean-spirited to Jack at Oakmont that Jack's father Charlie wanted to go after a few of them, but he was physically restrained by none other than @OhioStateFB coach Woody Hayes. Ah, the good old days.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

A U.S. Open champion facing a "hostile gallery" and "caustic comments?" That was Jack Nicklaus in '62 when he beat Arnie at Oakmont. "Hostile" had a different meaning then.
Wyndham Clark showed his toughness as the US Open champion Long Island didn't want https://t.co/r8Ad1VAEu2

That was a good US Open. Sam Burns said so. A good source on these matters.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

I'm going to go with muted cheers on that amazing Clark birdie putt because everyone had their phones out. No?

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Mitchell the only guy not to shoot over par at Shinnecock this week. 70-70-70-70. Curtis Strange also had all four rounds at 70 at Oakmont in 1994 when it was a par 71.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

And now a pace of play warning for the final group. Can’t say I’m surprised.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

One kid yelled “don’t choke Wyndham” when it was his turn to hit on 4. Security moved in and he was gone. Think his badge said he was a members’ kid. Suspect he hasn’t been told no very often.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Wyndham said earlier in the week he was hoping to win fans back. I just don’t see it happening today. Very one-sided gallery.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Not sure if it's been done since then, but Curtis Strange went 70-70-70-70 at Oakmont in 1994. Keith Mitchell could match that. Doesn't come with a trophy, though

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Wyndham, leading by 7: "Gosh, I've hit some terrible shots today. This is ridiculous."

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Not sure if I’d call this wind or a zephyr. Maybe I should ask Dylan Wu.

[dougferguson405 @dougferguson405]

Dylan Wu made a 6-foot par putt to make the cut. He four-putted from 4 feet on the opening hole to make 8. Now 6 over for his round going to No. 4.
