03:02 AM ET 06.12 | Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia were photographed shaking hands on the practice range on Monday at the Merion, so does this mean that their long-standing feud is over? The meeting was reportedly initiated by Garcia, and it is believed that the pair agreed to sit down and talk about their differences on Monday night. It was the first time that Woods and Garcia have met face to face since the Spaniard's 'fried chicken" comment last month, where he said at a European Tour awards dinner that he would serve Woods fried chicken if the two were to dine together during this week's major. Woods failed to comment on the issue when interviewed by ESPN earlier today, but with both Woods and Garcia scheduled to talk to press today I'm sure we'll be informed on what went down in their meeting last night.

05:11 AM ET 06.11 | It's hard to believe that a year has come and gone since Webb Simpson picked up a gift major at the Olympic Club last year. It was a gift from Jim Furyk at the 16th hole where the 2003 U.S. Open Champion double crossed his driver and lost a four shot lead before the dust settled. Simpson picked up the third win of his career, and his first U.S. Open. A lot has happened in the world of golf since Simpson won his title last year, including a rule change which will disallow the use of his long putter, and anchored putting stroke when January 2016 rolls around. I'm sure that Simpson's U.S. Open title coming on the heels of Keegan Bradley winning the 2011 PGA Championship went a long way in pushing the USGA to this decision. It hasn't been a bad year since Simpson won, but then again, it hasn't been great either. He has missed four cuts, in the 2013 season, but had some good finishes as well. He finished alone in second place at the RBC Heritage, and placed in three top tens on the year.

04:37 AM ET 06.06 | Shanshan Feng made history at the 2012 Wegmans LPGA Championship when the then, 21-year-old became the first golfer from mainland China to win a LPGA event. If she wants to repeat, she is going to have to put the meltdown at Sunday's final round of the Shoprite out of her mind. The Wegmans LPGA Championship is the second major of the season for the ladies. The Wegmans LPGA Championship gets underway on Thursday morning and is a standard 72-hole championship which is contested at the Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford New York. Locust Hill is a 6,534-yard venue that plays to a par of 72, and the $2.25 million dollar purse should ensure a full field of the world's top players. With the Rolex standings and the Solheim Cup race heating up, a win here will surely put the winner in position for both categories. Number one ranked, Inbee Park, and number two, Stacy Lewis have never won here, but both will be looking to change that statistic on Sunday afternoon.

10:08 AM ET 06.05 | If you had asked me back in February who I thought had the best chance to win the U.S. Open this year, I would have told you, Brandt Snedeker of course. The top statistic as we get ready to go to Merion next week is with a doubt, Greens in Regulation, and until his rib injury at the Humana, Brandt Snedeker had a laser in his bag. Snedeker has fallen on hard times since returning from his injury, one might even say, he hasn't returned as of yet. After winning the FedEx Cup in 2012, the 32-year-old Vanderbilt Grad from Nashville hit the ground running in 2013. In five early tournaments, he only finished out of the top 10 once, and that was at The Humana where he said he hurt his ribs.

He finished third at the season Opener on Maui, and finished second to Tiger Woods at the Farmers Insurance, a tournament and a golf course Tiger owns. He finished second again the following week in Phoenix to Phil Mickelson, a tournament and a golf course that Lefty owns, before getting his only win of the year at Pebble Beach.
