U S Open Champ A Demon Deacon

Raleigh native and Charlotte resident Webb Simpson  who went to Wake Forest on an Arnold Palmer Scholarship and tonight he is the U S Open Champion after shooting two 68's on the weekend.  He posted his one over score and stood in the clubhouse to make sure that Jim Furyk didn't come back to tie and Graeam McDowell did make back to back birdies on 17 and 18 to tie and send the championship to a Monday playoff.

Lauren Doughtie shot a one over 73 today and finished tied for 23rd spot. on the Futures Tour Players Championship.  She stays in the top ten for the year with her performance.  She shot a -2 for the weekend.

Game three of the NBA finals goes to the Miami Heat in a really close game from start to finish. OKC needs to win one of the next two games to even be able to get the final two games  back in Oklahoma.  You know these two teams are rather close and this looks like a seven game series now but OKC needs to win one this week 

Monday night at Gryphon Stadium Rocky Mount Post 58 plays their third straight home game as they host Ahoskie in a conference game.  P58 is 5-1 in the league  with Wilson coming back on Friday for another conference test.  Tuesday a team from Albemarle will split up the conference matches with a trip here to Rocky Mount.

I have a rather busy week lined up PA work Monday and Tuesday night.  Little League finals on Wednesday for the All New Sports Show and back for PA again on Friday.  Maybe by Thursday I will find something to do then.

It will be interesting to see how the TV ratings turn out for the U S Open and for the NBA Finals without Tiger being in contention by the time the basketball game hit the airways.  If you have direct TV you could see every shot he made as his group was the #2 group when they followed his group every step of the way.  I personally didn't see much of the b ball game as I followed golf all night.
