Bring your best Downward Dog out tonight for the first night in a series of Free Yoga Nights on Pier 64! Free Yoga will run every Thursday night on the tip of Pier 64, just north of Chelsea Piers. Paulo Hudson, one of the Sports Center’s most popular yoga instructors, integrates body, mind and spirit with Vinyasa Yoga against the backdrop of the beautiful Hudson River. All level yogis are welcome. Bring your own yoga mat (limited supply provided), a towel and a water bottle. Class will be canceled if it rains, so sign up here to receive email alerts!

A blistering 31 on the back 9, at Pebble Beach, by Tiger Woods has altered the landscape for the final round of the US Open. He sits 5 strokes back of leader Dustin Johnson, who turned in a 5 under par 66. 3 shots back is Graeme McDowell, followed by Tiger, with Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson still in the hunt. Should make for an interesting final day with a prime time telecast tonight. Hopefully the broadcast doesn't focus solely on Tiger as has been the practice in the past.

Who says Pebble Beach played tough? For the FIRST time ever, when they played in the same tournament, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson (Worlds Number 1 and 2 players) did NOT have a birdie on their card! Greens played very tough and I'm afraid that the USGA might have a problem with them, much like they did with Shinnicock the last time they played there. It's doubtful that a score under par will win this! Lots of players still in the chase, todays cut day - we will see!

The US Open started today at Pebble Beach, the scene of one of the most dominating performances ever given in a major championship - the 2000 US Open victory by Tiger Woods by an incredible 15 strokes. Can he repeat? Doubt it, given his turbulent personal life and spotty play of late. However, its probably not a good idea to count out the worlds number one player. My choice, Lee Westwood, breaking the 40-year dry spell of having a European win our national title. There are lots of players with a chance out there, but remember in the Open, you can't win it on the first day, but you certainly can lose it. Will update daily as the tournament progresses.
