Here is the opening to my Friday column leading up to the U.S. Open: I'm gonna write what I'm about to write because I ain't got no class. You got dat? I'm writing about golf, something I don't often do. And when you write about golf, a sport just dripping [...]
Golfer Rory McIlroy is the defending champion in the U.S. Open. And he's a very good golfer. He really is. But he will not win the next U.S. Open in June at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. Frankly, the poor unsuspecting soul does not stand a chance and he [...]
