Really? Really.
Oh, the scene on the 18th green during the trophy presentation couldn’t have been more fitting to the punch-drunk ending that left me feeling kind of empty. Of course, it has nothing to do with Webb Simpson, a deserving champion. It was just weird, but I shouldn’t be surprised since the atmosphere was eerie from the start on Sunday.
The Squawking British Bird, wearing a UK-patterned-peacock-ski cap, charged the 18th green and camera-bombed the ceremony crowning Simpson as the 2012 U.S. Open champion. Best part? USGA Executive Director Mike Davis not missing a beat and yanking the guy out of the way. Simply classic. Also, lesson learned: Don’t mess with Mike!
Webb chimed in, “Enjoy the jail cell, pal.”
The same Squawking Brit was in the grandstands behind the first tee to watch the final pairing of the day hit their opening drives. When Graeme McDowell was introduced, the Squawking British Bird stood up and hollered, “McDowell, you can do it, lad!
G-Mac acknowledged him and went about his business.
Well, like I said, that was amazingly perfect to conclude or contribute to the overall weird finish.
Oh, here’s the video — I can’t stop hitting the replay button. Pure comedy.

“Hello. My name is Mike Davis. You killed my moment. Prepare to die.”
After years of waiting for an unstable Tiger to throw a punch, Chris finally lost it…
…Can’t say I am surprised or that I didn’t see that coming.
Even more droll already. You’re getting very good at droll R.
All for you my friend!
Jailbird
Clever.
That guy looks familiar. Steiny after a few 19th hole beverages?
Did he wan’t to go to the Red Lobster?
Sizzlers
Damn bath salts.
LOL – look at the USGA president in the back ground how he is shacking his head. Oh so shocking…
Putting dumbasses like this in the news just encourages the next dumbass to follow suit. I, for one, wish that security had tasered him. There is a special place in hell for these idiots, right next to the place reserved for people that feel the need to yell stuff after players hit.
“My dad will be so proud. Happy Father’s Day!”
Pretty good stuff by Mike Davis. Second best takedown after the incident where Peter Jacobsen tackled the streaker at the British Open a few decades ago.
Quick thinking there by Mike Davis.
Interesting that the guy was rooting for McDowell. And safe to say the guy probably had too many drinks at the time.
Perfect CALIFORNIA ENDING !
Just CALI being CALI (WEIRD !!!!!)
Chewbacca guy during Furyk’s approach on 18, and Rooster guy.
You know what they say, CALI is the land of FRUITS and NUTS !
Cali is weird…enjoy your iPad. iPhone..and super fast Internet. Stop hating on my state…u must be from the dumb south…do the research..7th largest economy in the world.
LOL I live in Cali too and just about every trend you can thank us for, but we do have a LOT of weidos. That is what makes this place great. Where else can you go out in your pajamas and no one notices or cares?
Dumb south, huh? Such a stereotypical thought. And Californians are supposed to be progressive. I’ll bet that you are a closet racist as well, being that you adhere to such conventions so doggedly.
Randy.. we don’t agree on much but. I love my IPA Beers(San Diego), Bento O Sushi (SoCal), Wraps (L.A. Proper) and my Wet Burritos (Oakland).. should I go on…respect the State.. Trevor is hella lame (yes I went hella versus hecka)
Love it! IPA is the Shizznit!
Face lifts, quick trips to vegas, models & actresses, cruising the PCH in a drop top, low riders, Venice Beach, Pacific Beach, LEGAL WEED, Coachella, and let’s not forget…
THE FREAKING CATALINA WINE MIXER!!! POW!

Your welcome world!
That was the funniest thing. I hate the guys who yell after the player hit’s the ball, but this guy made me laugh. Didn’t he look a little bit like Kelsey Grammer (Fraser Crane)? Classic.
