Knock knock… yoohoo… Golf Digest… Golf World… over here.

Tiger’s taking his ball (and US Open trophy) and going home. For the rest of the year.

If you missed the US Open, you missed some of the best golf ever televised. It was incredible. Almost literally. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was rigged to script the drama.

Random acquaintance: I heard you play golf?
