SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- If you hated seeing players putt the ball off the green Saturday at the U.S. Open, if you're still mad that some of the approach shots they hit looked like they should been close, but instead ran into bunkers, I have a heartfelt message for you:
Watch the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands next week. It's a lovely event that the players have grown to adore. The fairways and greens should be lush, and the golf should be serene. It's OK if the extreme difficulty of Shinnecock has you unsettled.
