Tuesday was family day, but the 5 year old did not have a good day, and the day ended without much golf viewing. It was incredibly hot, +95. We did see Ernie Els, VJ Singh and a few new faces. Phil Michelson played early and started on #10. My brother-in-law saw him, but I think he dropped out of his group by the time we arrived on holes 4 and 5. You would think a guy from the desert could take the heat, but he must have had other plans. My goal for tomorrow will be to get his swing on camera.

The rough is still nasty. One player threw a ball into the rough, looked at it, then decided to hit from the fairway. I was 15’ away, but there was no sign of the ball what so ever. The greens and aprons are shaved close and the fairways look spectacular.
The fans really poured into Pinehurst today. There were lines at all concession stands and all the drinking fountains. Most of the bleachers seem to be in the sun, so they were not very populated. Most people seemed to follow their favorite players around the course.

My 9 year old got 2 autographs. Thank you Steve Elkington and Robert Gamez. They players can’t help but sign for a young fan.

I hope to spend more time on the course tomorrow…..
