"But the question now is when, exactly, 72 holes will be completed."

Going into Saturday, more than eight hours of play had already been lost to weather delays. When the horn sounded at 2:21 p.m. to evacuate the course, the clock started running on yet another delay. Fortunately, the third round began at 3:15, sending the players off in threesomes instead of twosomes and using both the No. 1 and No. 10 tee instead of only No. 1, as is the tradition on the weekend of the U.S. Open.
The stop-and-start nature of the tournament made it really difficult to get any feel for the event, or to allow any drama to build. We came to Colorado wondering if Yani Tseng would be able to complete the career Grand Slam and instead ended up wondering if the tournament would end before the 22-year-old from Taiwan turned 23.
Tip of the cap to ESPN going above and beyond for fans by adding bonus coverage Sunday morning on ESPN2. For Immediate Release:
