Michael Campbell holds off a charging [[Tiger]] at the US Open. What an exciting finish!!!

**Ernie Else:** “It’s really unbelievable. It’s the only course we play where you have to aim away from the holes.”

**Paul Casey:**”It wasn’t fun for a while – it can’t be when you don’t know where the ball is going to go.”

Thanks to an assist from Jeff Graham, whose laptop seemed to work much better with the camera than mine, I now have a few photos from today posted directly below. I’ll post later with some highlights from the USGA news conference and my journeys around the course this afternoon.

It’s right there. Approaching the edge. Peeking over just a tad. Perfect.

Question is, will it stay there?

Inquiring minds at Pinehurst No. 2 aren’t thinking about who’s going to win this 105th U.S. Open. It’s a given that on this course — one of the sternest tests of the game any time of the year — the best will bubble to the top of the leaderboard by Sunday morning.

[The Sand Trap:](http://thesandtrap.com/archives/pga/us*open*preview.php)

Pinehurst No. 2 is universally acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest layouts. Yet the 2005 U.S. Open is only the third major championship to be held on the course. The most recent was the stuff of legend, as the late Payne Stewart won a duel with Phil Mickelson just months before Stewart’s untimely death. Will this year’s U.S. Open match 1999’s drama?

[CNET News.com](http://news.com.com/:) “Blog: After seven days of deliberations, jurors in the trial against Michael Jackson have found the 46-year-old pop star not guilty…”

Are you f*cking kidding me?!?!? Was this the same jury that let OJ go?

Hopefully Michael’s career is over just like OJ’s.

Outstanding. You must take a look at this comic. It definitely hits home.

“MacCentral: “If there was any doubt that Apple’s technologies are crossing the traditional platform barriers, one only needs to look at PCWorld’s recently released top 100 Best Products of 2005](http://www.macworld.com/) to get the answer. Apple Computer captured five honors in PCWorld’s annual awards. The winning products and their overall ranking out of 100 were, Mac OS X Tiger (3), iTunes (34), Mac mini (75), iPod Photo (78) and the iTunes Music Store (86).”

WOW! Even the PC partisan rags are starting to climb on board. Way to go Apple!

[Security Awareness for Ma, Pa and the Corporate Clueless](http://securityawareness.blogspot.com/2005/06/another-mac-expert-adds-comments.html:) “Howdy! I’m Robert Pritchett, MSCS, former MCSE (along with a few other “expired” Microsoft certifications), former RCDD LAN Specialist, and still a Computer Telephony Engineer, and currently the CEO of MPN, LLC, the Macintosh Professional Network and publisher of macCompanion magazine…Well, Apple, the mistreated and neglected Super Hero, has not gotten much respect in the past. But with Mac OS X, it has been able to show that it is possible, over the last 5 years to develop, maintain and use an Operating System that is free from the evil triad that has infected the WinTel systems worldwide.”

Amen brother!
