David Graham has like the most Brooklyn accent ever 😂😂 Burns saying: just gonna go jog&have a few beers, totally different times, if leader at US Open would have few beers a night before last round it would be very, very odd to see it..
Graham started with three shot deficit, not 3 shot lead. He missed the first fairway only and hit 15 greens and 3 fringes. Not too shabby.
It is wonderful to see these archived ABC broadcasts here finally . They really need to have the video processed to sharpen the images though as they are quite fuzzy even for standard definition.
Most boring open I ever watched
Burns kind of reminds me of an olden days version of Scottie Scheffler. Including his somewhat ungainly swing.
