Fortunate for Ernie he got that ruling on hole one. You have to have a few good breaks go your way to win majors. Unfortunate for the USGA official who was so embarrassed he got it wrong he declined any press questions.
Yeah …very interesting…he was quirky then and not considered long…but man could he play….as naturally gifted and talented with his own very unique individual swing…the John McEnroe of the golf pro world for sure….without the shouting…one of my favorite players of all time.

The final round of the Masters that year was heartbreaking, he'd played Augusta beautifully for three days. So to come back at the US Open and CRUSH both the course & the field, oh that took some gonads! Watched coverage every day live, mostly in wonder. WHAT a player! 🏌♂⛳
The 2003 PGA season was the year for first time and only time Major Winners. Weir, Furyk, Micheel and Curtis. Micheel was ranked 169th when he won the PGA. Weir was the first lefty and only Canadian to win the Masters or a Major men's title. Curtis was 300-1 to win the Open, the lowest ranked player since the world rankings were first calculated.
Just insane that 25 years later, still no us open for Phil. For the first decade of his career, it felt like this was the one that would come first. And for that entire back 9, felt like he was in the drivers seat. This was the peak era before golf equipment got out of control
