Who\'s idea was it to hold a major in August in Oklahoma???
 

the tournament forecast at Southern Hills:

Thursday: 101* F
Friday: 98* F
Saturday: 103* F
Sunday: 100* F

that's just nuts.

Someone who's a fan of sweat?

Ugh.

Time to buy stock in Gatorade.

So they're supposed to have this on the Pacific Coast every year? I think that's the only place in the country right now that's not hot.

What's funny is that given the forecast I'm almost positive it will be less uncomfortable here in Phoenix this week than it would in OK, but people get sticker shock about the temperatures. The only difference is that Tulsa will see some reprieve now and then, if only slight, whereas we know it's gonna suck balls pretty consistently from June through September.

Pity that we'll almost certainly never get a major here, because I'd like to see the pros take on a true desert course under major tournament conditions.

EDIT: yikes.

The players in good physical condition should have a clear advantage in this one.

There isn't a single golfer in the field that the heat will have an effect on. This is simply business as usual.
