Weather Review<\/strong>: To paraphrase the great Seve, “it sunny, it sunny, it sunny, it rainy (but only just a little bit.)” 3.5 days of clear, dry skies and one afternoon of manageable precipitation equals a win for the tournament brass.<\/p>\n

Par-Breaker Review<\/strong>: Birdies, not eagles, were the story of 2013. Tyler Pendrith made 25 of them. That’s six per round and usually good enough to win. It was.<\/p>\n

Walker Cup Update<\/strong>: Zilch. From this vantage point, neither the amateurs nor the mid-amateurs did anything to help their case this week. We’ll know more after the Western Amateur next week and for sure after the US Amateur the following week.<\/p>\n

Golf Course Update<\/strong>: Niagara Falls was in remarkable condition. Fairways were firm enough to punish errant tee balls, yet greens were soft enough to receive properly-played approach shots. The key was putting and not enough putts were made to challenge the winner.<\/p>\n

Mike Davis Influence<\/strong>: He’s the USGA executive director and the guy who loves to set up US Open courses. Steve Denn channeled him a bit this week, as he pushed tee decks up to give contestants a chance to go for broke and make up strokes. Bravo for not sticking to the formulaic.<\/p>\n

Here’s a gallery of random shots from Saturday. Three more to come after this one, so kick back and enjoy.<\/p>\n
