Pat Caputo: No Tiger, But U.S. Open Is Still The Nation's Championship
Ranking golf's four major tournaments is a bit like buying a pair of shoes, if only in the sense that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Augusta National is aesthetically beautiful, and The Masters held during the early spring when such plush green views are so welcome, many would put it No.1.
I've heard it said often that The Open — or what is more accurately referred to as the British Open — is golf's version of the world championship.
Ask the pros themselves, and they will point to the PGA Championship, held in August, because it arguably contains the best and deepest field.
