I wanted to go but ticket prices were ridiculous.

How expensive are they? I guess for Majors they are usually pretty pricey. I've gone to some regular PGA Tournaments here in SD and in some other cities too. But never for a Major. So I guess that's the difference.

BTW this course they are playing is it one of the premier courses in SF? Just wondered. Also is it open to the public?

I can get a Sunday Daily Grounds pass fro 220. Throw in some parking, food, etc. Looking at 300 - 350 for just Sunday.

Trying to decide whether it is worth it or not. Thoughts?

Is this one of those events that you just can't pass up? The US Open isn't played here every year so ...

Anyone want to go? I can get two tickets? 220 each.

That is what I was thinking. Waiting to see what Tiger does today or tomorrow.

So it was really tough following Tiger? I assume the crowds are massive.

Yes it's tough I followed him 15/18 holes for each shot. I had to burst through crowds like Frank Gore

Approach shot stuck on the top lip suspended in the grass above the bunker. Both feet had to be in the bunker and he had to choke way up on the club
