Charlie Jones would have loved this U.S. Open
Lost here amongst the morass of U.S. Open news is the passing of legendary sports announcer Charlie Jones. Known best for his work as a football announcer, Jones was a steady voice behind the mic at many golf tournaments, as well.
What will be missed most about Jones will be his love of sport. He covered a variety of sports throughout his career and always brought forth enthusiasm. He would truly have loved just watching Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate battle through 91 holes at this U.S. Open.
Our best wishes go out to the family of Charlie Jones.

The USGA and other tour stops suden death favors individuals with spoecifi9c talents or short comings. Tiger with a 461 par 4 right dog leg has an obvious advantage. Playoffs should be three holes total of par 3, 4 & 5. This would make it a more honest playoff.
