Enjoying a glass of St. Remy VSOP
Monday, June 22nd
Wyndham Clark went wire-to-wire to win his 2nd US Open. His $4.5 million kept Todd in the lead and move Marc into 2nd-place just $1.49 million back. That was a dagger to the rest of the league with 3rd(Brett) and 4th(your beloved Comish) a staggering $6 million back.
Clark's victory coupled with just 9 event remaining, Jean falling to $14 million back AND a Signature event coming up this week, means only one thing: the heralded returns of:
The Scott Hansen Memorial Mathematically Elongated List (formerly known as The Mathematically Eliminated List).
Remaining Events: 9 Estimated Earnings: $12,343,000
Mathematically eliminated: Zero
On the Edge: Jean, Jenny, Jeff, Bryan
Still in the Hunt: Rob, Gary, Mary Jo, Scott, Taylor, David, Comish, Brett, Marc, Todd
The boys stay on the East Coast and travel 106 miles (including the Bridgeport - Port Jefferson Ferry) to Cromwell, Connecticut for the Travelers Championship .
Signature Event
Purse - $20,000,000

The Most Interesting Man in the World
The US Open
Thursday, June 18thThe US Open
Mr. Commish,
It seems like it was just yesterday I was making a terrible choice of picks for The Masters, so it is kind of hard to believe the third major of the 2026 season is already upon us. Welcome to the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, NY. According to AI, Shinnecock is " ...one of the most exclusive and secretive golf clubs in the worldIts elite status is defined by a strictly invite-only membership, highly guarded financial requirements, and absolute privacy regarding its operations." Sounds similar to joining the Stonecutters. And there is no truth to the rumor that I have been asked to join, in case you have been hearing rumblings.
The last person to win a U.S. Open at Shinnecock was Brooks Koepka in 2018. Alas, I have already used him, and he WD'ed from the RBC Canadian with an injury, so he might not have been a good choice anyway. However, I have other options, and I am taking this dude for two very important reasons; 1. He's a local from New York so the crowds will rally behind him, and 2. I haven't used him yet! With two wins this season, including the prestigious PLAYERS Championship, my guy is having his long-awaited breakout year. He hasn't missed a cut all season and sits in second place in the FedEx Cup standings. This long hitting phenom has the arsenal at his disposal to tame this 7440 yard par 70 beast. A warm round of applause for the kid from Scarborough who grew up at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club (which boasts such past members as Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel), the former Wake Forest Demon Deacon standout, Mr. Cameron Young!
