Merion beat them all
First they said it was too small, that the circus-like atmosphere, a corporate monster known as the U.S. Open had outgrown tiny, venerable Merion.
They said it would be a logistical nightmare.
Then they wondered if the course was too short, that it would be eviscerated by today's golfers.
Then the rains came, and they wondered if players simply would fire away and stick darts in Merion's fairways and greens, leading to unheard of low scores.
They were wrong. About it all.
Merion beat them all. In the process, so did Haverford Township and the region.
We showed how to put on a world-class event.
Merion shone through the early storms and then drove the greatest golfers in the world to their knees.
It tameed Tiger. Humbled Phil. And finally watched as a Rose bloomed.
The winning score was 1 over.
That's right, not one golfer broke par.
Merion beat them all.
Can't wait for The Open to come back.
