For me, The Open and The Masters tie for first, US Open fairly far behind, PGA last. And again, really can't define why, it's just how I've always felt. The Open with bad weather (think Tom Watson) might be some of the finest golf ever played on the planet.I’ve often thought the PGA to be right up there with the Masters for excitement. I think they do a great job setting up the course. Harding Park was cool but it was a bombers course.
I struggle with the US Open. I know they want to protect pat and all but man sometimes it’s just brutal watching it, especially the last 3-4 years. Too many gaffes with course set up. I like the way the other 3 set up the course. Set the pins, make it harder than a normal event and lets see what they can do. The USGA is more concerned with protecting par than running a great event.
