Today was many things. It was Round 3 of championship play at the U.S. Senior Open but Day 1 of the cut / reduced field. Today was also our 21st wedding anniversary so I took Jim to the tournament of course. And today was also hot. Even now, it's after 9 p.m. and 74 degrees. Today was 87 and felt like it!
We headed up to Stevens Point midmorning. Basically just walked around to see what we could.
Sat in the grandstands at hole 9 for a different perspective from volunteering. Sand was just as much of a challenge as the creek!
From this angle, you can see why it was such a fun and challenging hole to volunteer on.
Vijay Singh tees off. He did not have a super great day.
Padraig hits a water shot on hole 5. That was a tough one for him!
We hung out there for a bit, just for the chance to sit down!
We did have tickets to the skybox pictured here on hole 18. Earlier we got food and drink there, but it was so crowded, we knew we'd never get a seat. And in today's heat, we didn't want to stand all day.
So we parked ourselves in the grandstands at 18 and got to see some great finishes. Miguel above.
They're great friends, which is evident in how happy they were for each other's finishes.
At the end of the day, we got to see the leader Bernhard Langer finish up.
If he wins this thing tomorrow he'll set a record for most Senior tour wins. Pretty cool to be part of this.
Of course, I completely forget to get our anniversary picture on the course. Duh, me. So here we are on the way home. With my groom belting out classic country or classic rock on the radio! Love my hot date!
Oh and P.S. ....
I started the day making national news on CBS Saturday Morning! There will never be another birthday-anniversary-palooza week quite like this one. Ever!
