Greetings, friends, and welcome to this publication of Rogers Report! I am enjoying a week at home before I go to Oakmont for US Open, a round of practice in travelers and tournament days at the KPMG women’s PGA Championship. It will be two weeks long and exciting on the road, and if you have any recommendations close to any of those places (especially for ice cream), please tell me! We cannot move on to what is happening in Golf this week without a quick summary of the best moments from US Women Open In Erin Hills, so let’s start there.
Open Summary of American Women
All my favorite moments of opening women in the US came to the 72nd hole. I liked to see Linn Grant and Ingrid Lindblad eagerly to wait for their Swedish champagne friend after the winning victim. I liked to watch Caddy’s Maya Stark, Jeff Brighton, to accept his Caddy prize and then put on a cheese he received from the USA Mike Whan Director.
And I really loved it so much when Maya Stark got a call on Facetime by Annika Sorenstam. We often hear about the champions of the big veterans who call on big young winners to congratulate them, but we rarely see it in real time.
Call to Sorenstam for her call very time. I will soon not forget any of these moments.
I will also not forget the golf with us introduced by the All -Panel Panel I followed in Erin Hills earlier during the week. Ally, usga, and Erin Hills Staff invited current female collegial athletes, sports business diplomas and new business professionals from the Great Milwaukee area to a panel and network events that aim to boost their trust and use golf as a business tool while jumping into their careers.

The longest day of golf
When I hear the words “Longest Golf Day”, I often think of the time I was flying to San Diego through Seattle for a work trip (again during a time of my life, where I didn’t understand how airlines worked). For the rest of the world, the longest golf day is probably the most emotionally charged in the entire golf, where tour professionals, young young players and many scratch players in the middle Try to qualify to the US open.
Max Homa He may not have qualified, but he made many days for children when he hanged after his round to take photos and sign autographs.
While we will miss big names like Max Homa and Rickie Fowler next week, there were many sensitive stories of boys who qualified. Alistair Dochety scored his ticket to Oakmont just two weeks after a car accident.
Matt Vogt, a dentist from Indianapolis, recently lost his father and will remove him in the US Open next week. Seventeen -year -old Mason Howell is a young man in high school and will play along with the best players in the world. Stories like this always make me appreciate how special the US is open and you are very excited to reach the country to see these people playing in person.
Phil’s final?
Liv Golf is in Virginia this week, and Phil Mickelson was very transparent when asked about US Open and his plans (or lack of them) to move forward.
whether Phil, I am curious about your thoughts on Oakmont potentially being your first first open and the possible conclusion of your life -long effort to win our Open national.
Mickelson: “I haven’t thought about this. There is a high likelihood that will be, but I really didn’t think much about it. What I thought about it is how similar this week’s course is firm in what we will see next week. We have Greens rolling 14 to 15 the first tour of our second half and we all work and we all need a lot and we all work and we all have a lot and we all have a lot of a lot and we all have a lot and we all made the second half of the brilliant liv.
Okay, let’s focus on the first two sentences there. Mickelson has lost only two US openings since 1990, so the fact that this may be his last feels like a very big job. Even if he is not thinking about it now, I must assume he will think about it in Oakmont. As someone who thought about their last high school basketball game for weeks before it happened, I’m curious to see the emotions coming with the next week for Mickelson.
A startling collaboration
Good news for all Motorsports and Golf Gear heads there: Pennzoil and PXG have come together to create a limited edition driver. If you are like me, you can ask what they have in common in motor oil soil and golf equipment. The answer? Driving.
it It is exactly the level of creativity I like to see when it comes to brand collaborations. Most of this in 2025 (and beyond) please!
