PINEHURST, N.C. — This was everything you want out of every major championship. Star power at the top of the leaderboard. Dripping drama to the final putt struck. Palpable pressure on every shot. A taxing and exacting golf course with zero margin for error. (Photos) The 124th U.S. Open was a true and proper war of attrition, just as it ought to be. And when the day — the fourth consecutive sun-soaked day of oppressive 90-plus-degree heat — was over on Sunday, it was Bryson DeChambeau who was the last man standing.

Exciting match!!

At the U.S. Open Golf Tournament today, Tiger Woods did not play, having missed the cut and being eliminated from the competition on Friday. Turning to the NBA Finals...

Great tournament, all the more amazing when you consider that Bryson couldn't have hit a fairway if they'd allowed him to run out 325 yards with the ball and give him a free drop. I always wanted to be able to make short putts like Rory McElroy, and now I can say that I can.

DeChambeau made an outstanding up and down from a bunker on the finishing hole. I felt sorry for McIlroy. That was a difficult left to right slider he missed on 18.

A rare moment in time. First, it came down to the last hole and last putt in the PGA. DeChambeau finishes second even though he played a great round of golf Schauffele just played better. Now DeChambeau beats McElroy on the final hole on the final putt. DeChambeau has been involved in two very exciting major tournaments. It is very thrilling to see such great competition as such a high level and such exciting events. I don't remember two majors with such drama back to back. Glad DeChambeau won but would have been thrilled if McElroy had won. Gosh, I hope the Open is as exciting.

One of America's indisputably great golf courses, Pinehurst #2 has hosted four United States Opens since 1999. Evidence of why the USGA keeps coming back was abundant this week. I loved seeing Italy's Francisco Molinari come to his 36th hole (the par 3 ninth hole) at seven over par, needing to ace the hole to make the cut, which was at +5. So he did! Great major championship courses have great leaderboards. No exception here, even though Tiger and Phil didn't make the cut. There was no shortage of great play, as well as some goiter trouble on short putts from the two main contenders, once from Bryson DeChambeau #16, and twice from Rory McIlroy. On #16 Rory blasted his 3' 8" tap in past the left lip, while on #18 he babied a two and a half footer, stubbing it past the hole like Scott Hoch in the 1982 Masters playoff. You've got to bring it all the way to the clubhouse. DeChambeau, wearing his LIV Tour shirt and cap, put on quite a show. So did PGA Tour stalwart Rory. Bryson's 55 yard bunker shot on #18, a thing of beauty, should be called a "golf shot" for all time. Note that Bryson's LIV buddies like Sergio Garcia were there to congratulate him afterward. At PGA Tour HQ in Ponte Vedra, I can promise you that there were some John Kerry length faces this afternoon. TV commentator Brandel Chamblee, right there with them psychologically, was hurting inside. Serves him right. I remember him from the mini-tour days when he got taken in by a rival mini-tour that turned out to be a criminal enterprise. That error cost him over fifty large. Congratulations to Bryson "Bison" DeChambeau. He's a clutch player. We will be hearing more from him.

DeChambeau took this title with epic up-and-downs the last two days, great, consistent putting when he had to make them. With normal five inch US Open rough, he'd not have been a factor. He took what they gave him, he took what Rory gave him. He's a swashbuckler. I'm haunted by Rory, I can't imagine how he's feeling. FWIW he's not the first to lose a major championship with a missed short putt, he's one of many. He's part of golf history now, fans will cringe for decades.

#9 reminds me of Doug Sanders who missed a two and a half foot putt on St. Andrews 18 to fall into a tie with Nicklaus who beat him in the playoff. Someone asked Doug if he thought about that miss much... "Nah", said Doug, "Sometimes I go a whole two hours without thinking about it".

Nearly three years after the protests on January 6, 2021, Judicial Watch filed a $30 million wrongful death suit against the federal government for the Capitol Police shooting of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt. The Washington Examiner reported that the suit was filed on behalf of Babbitt’s estate and her husband, Aaron Babbitt, and claims the officer who shot Babbitt was “incompetent” and “dangerous” and should have recognized Babbitt posed no threat to Congress when she entered the House speaker’s lobby.

President Joe Biden is planning to announce a sweeping new policy Tuesday that would lift the threat of deportation for hundreds of thousands of people married to U.S. citizens, an aggressive election-year action on immigration that had been sought by many Democrats. Biden will announce the new program at a White House event to celebrate the Obama-era 'dreamers' directive that offered deportation protections for young undocumented immigrants, according to three people briefed on the White House plans. The policy will allow roughly 490,000 spouses of U.S. citizens an opportunity to apply for a 'parole in place' program, which would shield them from deportations and offer them work permits

The Gaza-based reporter who held three Israeli hostages captive at his home worked for a US non-profit accused of “providing material support to Hamas” where hard-left professor Noam Chomsky sits on the editorial board. Abdallah Aljamal — killed by Israeli Defense Forces during the raid to free the hostages from his home in Nuseirat — was a regular correspondent for The Palestine Chronicle, an Olympia, Washington state-based news outlet established in 1999, with sister publications in France and Italy. Aljamal’s articles for the website lamenting the evils of war continued until just before the June 8 raid — many seemingly written while Jewish hostages taken by Hamas

More than 171,000 women traveled out of state to have abortions in 2023, according to data from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute. Guttmacher’s Monthly Abortion Provision Study project — which estimates the number of abortions between January of 2023 and March of 2024 in states without total abortion restrictions — found that out-of-state travel for abortion has more than doubled since 2019, when 73,100 women crossed state lines for abortions, USA Today reported of the study.

To illustrate his point, he cited a 2019 American Medical Association study, which concluded that teens who spend more than three hours per day on social media double their risk of anxiety and depression.

In recent weeks, after several very public signs of age-related issues, 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s physical and mental fitness for the White House have once again become a topic of debate. Is the oldest president ever to serve still fit for office? A plurality of voters say “no,” according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. Overall, more American voters give Biden failing grades than passing ones when it comes to both his mental and physical health, according to the national online June I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from May 29-31, of 1,910 adults. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.4 percentage points. Our first question asked: “President Biden is seeking a second term.

Videos exposing President Joe Biden’s age, gaffes, and recent awkwardness in public are “cheap fakes” and published in “bad faith,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday. During the first press conference in about three weeks, reporters asked Jean-Pierre if the White House was “worried” about Biden’s curious behavior that “appears to be a pattern.” The questions came after a video on Sunday showed former President Barack Obama walking Biden off the stage after the president appeared to freeze at a fundraiser. Another video from last week appeared to show Biden wandering off into the distance in Europe before Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni turned him back to the group.
