And people say watching golf is boring.So many great pieces have already been written about today, like:
Pat Forde's ESPN article...
Larry Dorman's NY Times piece...
and Gene Wojciechowski's "Tiger and Rocco save sports" piece...
There's another story I'd love to hear, but only you can tell it -- where did you watch Monday's round?
I heard from a good friend in Dallas who said his 200-employee office came to a complete standstill Monday afternoon. Their CEO had the only TV but, tragically, he's not a golfer. So everyone switched to USOPEN.COM's streaming coverage, a move that completely clogged the company's network. The only solution was to designate a handful of computers as the golf hubs, converging the office into these little clusters of ten or twelve people from upper management to assistants. It did more for office camaraderie than any trust walk or corporate retreat.
I'm guessing his story's not the only one. What's yours?
**As for what it was like for ME, I'm working on a new piece for ESPN.com. I'll link to it when they post it.
**In the meantime, check back this week for some funny and most likely not even kinda true post-Open stories...
**And yes, as a reader pointed out, time to lift the June Gloom backdrop on this site and get something a little brighter up for a few days before reverting back to the standard black.

As good as those three articles are - you had it right yesterday - "How do you put this into words?" I watched every shot of every hole and it's still sinking in.
