First off...the heat. Its going to be well over 100 F all 4 days. Yesterday 22 spectators and 2 golfers had to be treated for heat related illnesses.

Southern Hills is an awesome golf course to top things off....very very tough if you dont hit it straight. Even when you get it on in regulation, the greens are deceiving and fast. This makes for high scoring as evidenced by yesterdays results and what has been seen so far today. Angel Cabrera, current US Open champ, took a 10 on a par 3 yesterday.

For Calgary folks, Stephen Ames has just now tied for the lead after birdies on 1 and 5 and a bogey on 3, putting him at -3 for the tourney. That could be good enough to win by Sunday afternoon. He has the game...can he keep it all together for 3 days though?

Tiger Woods....even though he finished yesterday at +1, he is still right in the thick of things IF he can get his control under wraps. Too many "right distance wrong spot" shots so far.

Could be a terrific weekend when all is said and done.
