Small people will unite eventually. 

And maybe make one person

They tried that in The Little Rascals

He earned it.  Birdieing the last 2.  Wow.  No asterisk, no apologies.

100%. Incredible comeback after an unfortunate start to the round.

The way J.J. responded after the rain delay, it was as if he had gotten a rousing pep talk from Jason Heyward!

Very entertaining final round of the U.S. Open - my favorite Father's Day tradition!

Spaun is 5'8, barely shorter than the national average.  Why are we acting like he's a Hobbit taking up for the little people of the world?

He's 1/4 Filipino and the average Filipino is 5'5", 1/4 Mexican, and the average Mexican male is under 5' 7" so he is actually above average for half of his ethnicity.

I think Muggsy just needs a win.

[MU82]

When I lived in Chicago, I had a weekly game with two friends and we'd rotate the 4th spot between a few others. One of them was a 5-5 guy we nicknamed "Woosie." (He immediately embraced the nickname, even saying, "Hey, it's Woosie," if he called one of us.)

He was a 3 handicap, he had every shot, and he was far and away the best of our group. And he hit the hell out of the ball - his drives were an easy 275 despite his size, showing the importance of mechanics over muscle.

So hurrah for Spaun and, sure, for Muggsy.

Stop, just stop.  He's of smaller stature compared to his competitors.  So is Brian Harman.  No need to demean actual dwarves who have it very difficult.  And "little people of the world" deserve to be respected.

Woosy had a tremendous swing!  I have watched many of his videos.  For some reason I just can't get the pop he did on my shots.

I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt but I'm a little lost with the Rory drama. 

[tower912]

What is the big deal?  He is searching for his next Everest and is in the process of moving back to London.  Lost and stressed.

He'll probably be fine by Portrush. One of my favorite courses.

Hope he's ready to pound Team USA into dust at Bethpage

I'm a bit concerned about Team 🇺🇸.  Europe seems deeper. 

[MuggsyB]

Will Griffin be on the Ryder Cup team?

[tower912]

If he earns it.

I'm concerned Team Europe won't get 20 points

With him and the media? I know them leaking his driver was non-conforming ticked him off while others weren't named. Also to the common person, it may come off as him cheating.

I think the bigger thing is he stuck out his neck for the PGA and put himself out there as the face of PGA against LIV. He took a some heat for that and then the PGA did him pretty dirty with the announced deal. I think that's taken a toll on him.

You could be right.  Maybe they should just require these guys to talk to the media like they do tennis players?  I dunno.

Bryson, Scottie, JJ, JT, X, Morikawa are the current top 6.  Figure Burns gets a captain's pick to partner w Scottie.  Next up are Henley, Griffin, English, Maverick, Novak, Harman.  Hardly murderers row.

Whom do you pair with Bryson?

Good question.  Harman would be interesting.  No Koepka?  It's too bad Finau and Speith are struggling.

You've stated you're rich.  Move to Europe.  Or Singapore if you have crazy wealth.

Too many foreigners in those places

You can't have it both ways.
