Billy Horschel Apologizes For His U.S. Open Antics

Still a big post-U.S. Open topic of conversation was Billy Horschel's on-course antics even as he was torching the place with a strong final round.

While Horschel calmed down to make some more eloquent post-round comments about the U.S. Open greens, most took notice of his on-course boiling over.

At the Travelers Championship, Horschel apologized and also revealed that he had a long chat with Mike Davis to explain his views.

ESPN.com's Jason Sobel reports.

"We talked about my comments; he totally understood them," Horschel said of the conversation. "He admitted that the greens weren't what they wanted and he was sorry for that. He knew the greens were at a level that the USGA wasn't happy with and said that if they ever go back there, they know what to do."

Their conversation lasted "about 15-20 minutes" and never got contentious. In fact, Horschel suggested that it was just the opposite, two men having a respectful discussion with each understanding the other's viewpoint a little better afterward.

Here's the viewpoint: Mike thought Billy acted like a jerk, Billy thought the greens stunk. All better now!
