At that time, the U.S. Open finished on a Saturday, and contestants played 36 holes. Palmer, seven shots back, went to the first tee on a mission.

Rory McIlroy may have one hand on the Wanamaker Trophy, but don’t tell that to Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler or Jason Day, all of whom believe they still have chances to take it home.

Finally, the International Golf Federation let the real cat out of the bag on who will be able to compete in the 2016 Olympics. It was done during British Open week, figuring it would get buried in other headlines.
