SAN DIEGO — Two career-changing putts for Jon Rahm brought two trophies Sunday.He cradled his 3-month-old son, Kepa, as he walked off the 18th green at Torrey Pines on Father’s Day. And then he collected the silver U.S. Open trophy after a performance filled with passion and absent of blunders that wiped out everyone else. Rahm made a bending 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to catch Louis Oosthuizen. He buried another curling, left-to-right birdie putt from 18 feet on the final hole for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot victory. “Little man, you have no idea what this means right now,” Rahm said to his son

Nice win, great birdies on 17 and 18, the F18 flyover was a nice touch too. Congrats to Rahm who was magnanimous and humble in winning.

Perfect. He got shafted at the Memorial by the Covid insanity. He may not have won, but he deserved the chance to play alone and find out. A farce. He handled it like the champion he is.

Fun to watch, and I was rooting for him after he had to withdraw at the last tournament because of moronic covid rules. The man had a vaccination shot, and then tested positive 3 days later. Not sick, but had to withdraw from a game that is played outdoors and where you can easily stay well apart from anyone else. One of the Stupidest things I think I have ever seen.

Great, great win and story for Jon Rahm, good for him and golf. Still, Oosty CANNOT hit that tee shot at 17. Jon's karma must have got into Louie's head and shot shape, the only explanation.

Louis Oosthuizen has always been a favorite of mine - - bot on the crucial last two holes - - he hit a drive out-of-bounds - - while Rahm got two clutch birdies. A well-deserved win for Rahm - - and another disappointing second place for Louis.

Fitting, well-deserved, and well-played, especially those last two birdies, for Jon’s first Father’s Day! Even the press recognized his talent and touch. Well Done, and many more! Be strong and courageous. ~ Joshua 1

Agree. Great win for him after the bizarre Covid scam. I was rooting for Oostie. Seems like a great guy. Anyone but the uber profane Koepka.

A playoff seemed likely until Oosthuizen’s drive into the hazard on hole 17. Yes, it’s a hazard, as opposed to the misnomer, penalty area. Rahm earned the win with the two closing birdies. He is big, strong and very skilled.

After the PGA Tour shafted him out of a victory at Memorial, Jon Rahm has to regard this very timely major championship win as karmic.Tim Mickelson, Rahm's golf coach at Arizona State a few years ago, was so impressed that he quit the coaching job to become Rahm's manager. Tim's brother Phil also saw greatness in the young Spanish player, They are not wrong. When I first saw him play three or so years ago, I said to myself, "This fellow is going to be #1." It's that clear. Louis Oosthuizen, who has a very rare career slam of second places in all four majors as well as the 2009 Open Championship at St. Andrews, has the best swing in golf, hands down. Such great tempo! His drive on #17 essentially cost him a chance at playoff. I was as sorry for him as I was happy for Rahm. Jon had the best comment of all after it was over: "This is for Seve." That one brought a tear to my eye. Seve left us way too early.

I make it a practice to support American competitors, but since Rahm now lives in Arizona, I'll make an exception. And I will admit to my feelings of joy when sissy boy McIlroy collapsed like a wild Irish rose, and I also enjoyed little Sergio Garcia's poor play. It was quite a show.

It was an amazing match. Any of the top ten players could have won on any given day but Rahm played superbly. Louis lost it due to the complications of one bad shot, which missed by a very short distance, just as Lexi Thompson did a few weeks ago after leading the entire day. One thing I've noticed is that spectators at golf matches are not nearly as classy and respectable as in years past, I would even say obnoxious.

Good for him. They screwed him with that positive test which was a disgrace. 90% of those tests are bogus. He's handled these last few weeks like a true professional....

Rahm may have been born in Spain, but like many so called foreign players, he lives in the U.S., and went to school in the U.S.

In American journalism, there are supposed to be some clear, nonnegotiable third-rails. One is zero tolerance for overtly racist language and comportment among our movers and shakers. Reporters, for example, for four years damned Donald Trump for his neutralizing summation that there were both “fine people” and extremists mingled among the hordes of protestors during their occasionally violent encounters in Charlottesville, Virginia. It mattered little to the media that Trump added qualifiers of “many” and “both” sides of the protests: We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides . . .

Disney has been accused of pricing out loyal customers by targeting affluent families with $800 hotel rooms and $100 sandwiches at its theme parks, despite having scaled back its 'magic' since the pandemic began. A family vacation to Disneyland - once the pinnacle of summertime for middle-class American families - will today set a family of four back more than $6,000. With the average annual income now standing at $5,725 a month, this means a visit to the so-called 'happiest place on earth' is increasingly out of reach to the average American family.

(snip) Why have the media failed to sell Kamala Harris to their viewers as someone ready to jump into Joe’s shoes, if his advancing debilitation required it? There are two obvious reasons for this failure. One, Kamala Harris was an affirmative action pick for the second spot on the Democratic ticket

Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looing and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer. After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday. Now Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr and Bronx DA Darcel D. Clark are facing tough questions about why hundreds walked free after the looting rampage caused an estimated tens of millions in damages.
