Yeah, we did a shitty job with the US Open in 1975 and 1990 and the PGA Championship in 1999 was a snore. Oh, and we get the Ryder Cup in 2012, so yeah, we're on the B-list.

I hear the parking lot is arlington race track, and it will rain all weekend, and tickets are only $100. This will probably be the last time the champiionship will be held at medinah.
