we're in half moon bay, california, at the half moon bay golf links. they have the old course and the ocean course. let me describe this beautiful, spectacular majestic. it's just awesome here right on the coast of northern california. the golf courses are wonderful here. they have the ritz carlton where you can stay or if you want to come in for the day, both golf courses are absolutely great. the old course has been here for about 5 years and it plays in among some houses but they don't really impede your play. it's a nice playout. very, very testy. for example, they held a number of usga qualifyings here. they ree recently had qualifies for the usga women's open. a couple of youngsters qualified. so great stuff here. the newer course, the ocean course, they call it, has only been here for a handful of years and it's one of the newer golf

courses in the bay area and it gives you a different experience. it is a lynx experience right out here on the coast. we're looking today at number 17 on the ocean golf course. it's a really a spectacular par 3. right along the water here and you've got a little bit of wind. you can certainly play a factor. you have green. if you want an experience like ireland or scott land, half moon bay, the ocean course, is a great experience. number 18 on the old course here at half moon bay is really one of the great holes. you see it photographed very, very often and you play right up to the ritz-carlton which was not here originally. it was built a number of years after the golf course was built but it's a great hole here. i got e got a good driver with, again, the little bit of wind to keep me from going into the little creek that runs in front

of the green and then i had a 9 iron into the green. it's small. it's fun when you play here. often you'll have guests from the hotel sitting right up on the patio having a little glass of win and maybe cheering you on if you hit a real good one. so this is our next stop along the way. half moon bay golf limpks. how you enjoyed our shortstop here on the coast. >> before i tee off here on the 9th hole, here's a tip. a very common fault a lot of people have, if you hit a pole or a slice that starts to the left and comes over, very common is a problem called "coming over the top." the good players the club will drop and right toward the target. what happens in the case of coming over the top is the first move from the top you get anxious with the hands and the club will come this wayne. and now you can see the momentum of the club is coming across the

path so i'm going to either pull it left and a lot will come back as a slice. so any of you have this "little red book" go to page 96. with may ji move. what he talked about is that from the top of the swing, and a month jik move is that they're dropping the cloub -- >> kind of like a baseball player stepping into the pitch. the movement is the club dropping and my legs starting at the same time and now, in slow motion, i'll come right here and that's a real good fix for a pole or a slice in your golf game. i'm going to go ahead to hit one and i hope the guys in they did it studio can slow it down. hopefully i've done the right thing. i'm getting ready to go and i feel real patient from the top of the swing. not rushing it. the club, dropping them straight down.

so work on this tip at home and you might get to hit one just like that. see you on the fairway. for more on the history of the olympic lub, here's raj mathai. >> the through tourms held at the olympic club, we saw a dramatic rally on the final day. payne stewart and lee januaryso. in 1993 he edged stewart to win the national championship. now they'd do it again, this time on a truly demanding course. >> olympic is so many holes. the fairway is tilting one side or the other. you have to timt the ball. a lot of guys worked the ball one way or the other so to be there that week i had to be hitting the ball just about as well as i could hit it.

>> it was office course very familiar to him. >> i played olympics as a kid, i think i was 16. and the u.s. amateur was getting ready to be played and that was excited for me to play the course on a that the band was on so the olympics have always had a special place in mier heart. the course. conditions, the weather, everythingbility it. lots of good memories. when the u.s. open was coming back there, i had lots of positives with on certainly a lot of positive memories about going there and playing so i was looking forward to it probably more so than any other u.s. open. >> despite his positive outlook it was stuart that jumped out as early leader and he never looked back. stewart was in command, going to bed each night with a three through the first flee the rounds. he took a four-stroke lead in the final round.

earlier, janssen started to fire and stewart misfired and he experiences bad luck. on the 12th hole, stewart hit a perfect t shoelt in the fairway but it landed in a sand-divot. >> when stewart hit t. and joon seven would have taken the lead and finished his round with a one-stroke advantage as he waited apparently in the clubhouse. he had his last chance. to win janson, once again, crowned the u.s. open champion.

>> it's certainly a great accomplishment to have on your resume. i know very few people who have juan win u.s. open. you win one, maybe something at the end where the other guys made mistake but you end up winning and you had to play pretty good to get to that point. i've been lucky long enough. good bounce here or there. make a putt. make a chip june. it sure does. there's a lot of thanks have to fall into place. >> almost time to wrap things up but we're not done yet. stay with us. ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ [ transforming sounds ] [ male announcer ] transformers. the ride.

ride it at universal studios hollywood. >> here's a golf tip for you and especially those that have shanked a ball or hit a shot fat often with a short iron, here's your fix. i think the golf club is supposed to be hit with the golf shaft somewhat straight up and down. you'll notice here that what they call the bounced soul is

going to be flat on the ground and kind of skim along the ground. a lot of people will do and this is the incorrect part that you need to check for yourself, they'll put the ball back in the stands and you'll see the angle in my club is at this sort of angle. so what's going to happen is that when i hit my shot, i'm going to hit down like this and that's going to be that big divot. it should be inside the left heel. i like to also think that my arm and club dropped straight down. here i am and then there's that sitting correctly. the shank ball is the same idea only it's when the ball is back like this on my stance and i come into the ball here, then i'm coming in with the hozdle part first. that's the shank you don't like to see happen. here's the tip for you. if you hit the ball too heavy or fat with that big divot or shank the ball with the short iron, i'd like to see you put the ball a little more forward.

here we are and if you use your good legwork, we talked about that in another lesson, the shaft will be pretty much straight up and down. so work on this at home and you'll hit more greens and have more fuchb with your golf game. we hope you enjoyed our look at some of the great golf spot ms. the bay area. it's been fun bringing it to you and we'll see you next time.

i love playing the olympic club. >> home to four u.s. open championships with some of the most unforgettable finishes. >> a fantastic comeback.

>> bringing surprise and as you as you expense. >> the 18 holes, right up by the clubhouse, the amphitheater. all the people on the hillside, what a great finish it is. >> the catapulting underdogs and recommendive unknowns into american sports history. you only wonder if history will repeat itself and the leader going into the final round will leave without a victory. >> good evening and thanks for joining us. i'm raj mathai. this is a primetime edition of nbc bay area news. we're broadcasting one final time live in the u.s. open here in the historic olympic club. the early analysis this u.s. open was a smashing success. the thousands of fans that have come through and the years of planning and now it's finally over. here's how we'll do it. nbc bay area diane dwyre is in the stud yee as is our

meteorologist, rob mayedmayeda. and the big story is in san francisco at the olympic club. let's show you how it shook down the new national champion of golf. about 90 minutes ago, web simpson along with his wife, they found out together, that he was the u.s. open champion while he was in the locker room after his round. and he and his wife, seven months pregnant expecting their second child. unless you follow golf you probably have no idea who this guy is. 26 years old and a couple years out of college. the national champion of golf. he wins $1.4 million as he's the u.s. open champion here at the olympic club. >> there's a major change today. did you watch it on tv or were you out here yourself? sunny skies all week. it's been glorious. but today, you know how it works. our secret was revealed for the national television audience. fog in june. a thick blanket of fog rolls

right through this course and across the peninsula around the noon hour and that fog remains as we speak. cold and damp but really, no surprise. this is classic golf weather here at the olympic club. what are they doing at this hour? they're deconstructing the place. the bleachers, the tent, the hotdog stands, after so many fans came through. 225,000 fans came through for the four rounds and practice rounds. sold out every round. the usga telling us they're thrilled with the amount of support and enthusiasm that they had in the bay area. the bay area is such a hotbed for golf. back out here live we have jim kozimor. the history of the olympic club. whoever you think is going to win ain't going to win. >> that's right. it's proof of the greatest

reality television of all time. look at the four days in which golf is plays here in the 112th united states open championship. day one, the best round carted was a 66 at 4 under. that was from michael thompson, he was atop the leader board but only for a day. then tiger woods, and then the third day jim furyk and graeme mcdowell. but on the final day, it was all web simpson. not just 26 years old from wake forest. on something called a arnold palmer scholarship. arnold palmer had one of his worst moments right here in '66 when he blew the lead. comingor similarson. web simpson after the tournament. >> pretty nerve-racking. i'm glad my wife is here with me in the booth. but, you know, it was a cool day. i had a piece all day. i knew it was a tough golf

course and it wasn't going to yield many birdies and i had to go out and do as womell as i could. i prayed. >> you were an arnold palmer scholar at wake forest and that one of the most crushing defeats, heartbreaking defeats of his entire came right here in '66 when he blew a big lead against billy casper and ultimately lost in the playoff? >> arnold has been so good to me playing under his scholarship at wake. i thought about that story and he's meant so much to me and wake forest that if i win, i can get a little back for him and it will make him smile. >> no matter the outcome welcome great going today. >> thank you. >> so, what a difference a year makes in 2011, rory mcilory wins the u.s. open at 16 under and this year it's 1 over. so the biggest winner had to be the olympic club lake course. after that, graeme mcdowell who has won in the past and michael

thompson who had a great first day and he hung tough. jim furyk fell apart late. but all eyes were on tiger woods. 3 over for the day and dave has more on tiger. >> jim, it didn't take long here today to realize that tiger woods wasn't going to be a factor in sunday eats final round. he played his first 6 holes in 6 over par including a double bogey on the par 3 3rd and it was all downhill from there. >> i felt great on the greens and unfortunately got off to an awful start and we tried coming in but i was too far out. i mean, i just didn't play well at all and you know, i can never get anything going positively and i missed the ball on the wrong side a couple of times and that's you will it takes. overall the way i struck the golf ball and controlled it, you know, if i just would have hung in there a limit bit better yesterday and missed the ball on

the correct side a couple of times, i would have been in a better position going in today. i hit the ball very women the first two days and yesterday i was a fraction off. just a couple of yards here and there and that's all it takes is a couple of yards. i had so many balls on the fairway that it wasn't in the rough. if there were just shaped, maybe another yeerd or two they would have held and been in the first cut. that makes a big difference. especially as firm as it got yesterday. not as firm today, obviously, with the marine layer coming in. but yesterday was close. >> it was surprising considering he had a share of the 36-hole lead the 11th time in his career he had done that. in previous ten he won nine. back to you at the desk. >> dave, thank you very much. web simpson is the new u.s. open champion with a five-hole stretch where he had four

birdies and he said he prayed more in the last three holes in the than he has in a long time and it helped in the end. >> we have a gorgeous nbc comcast set out here with a rolling fairway and a beautiful green behind us but you can't see much tonight. >> no. it's like you're golfing with ghosts. that's what it feels like. maybe there's some ghosts left out there. we'll talk about some of the ghosts in close calls later on in this newscasts. >> we have a lot of fog and the question is -- do players still love coming here? the history and the beauty and the fog? when it's coming back? down in pebble beach in 2019. we'll have to wait just a bit. 2019 at pebble beach, the next u.s. open locally for us. we were spoiled. 2010 in pebble beach. 2012, this week at olympic park and now a seven-year wait until the next u.s. open comes to town on a beautiful monterrey peninsula. as for golf here in san francisco, right across the lake

from us here, another historic course, a public course, the harding park, and next year, the champion's tour comes to harding. the best senior golfers will be here for their season-ending tournament. we're just getting going. later on we'll talk about father's day here at the u.s. open. this place was filled with father's, grandfathers and sons. also we'll go behind the scenes with tiger woods. that's just ahead. let's bring in diane dwyre from our studio. diane? >> thanks a lot raj. we have several new stories. rodney king. he died today at age of 47. he was thrust in the national spotlight in 1991 when his videotape beating sparked riot and debate on police brutality and race relations. nbc francis cohas more. >> king was found by the fiance' at his swimming pooling as his

normally the hottest time of the day is 4:00. at 4:00, that's when the sea breeze started to kick in so right now you can see the cooling we're seeing around the bay area and those winds to the east bay valley, 15 to 20 miles an hour and as you saw, quite a bit of fog and mist there around the peninsula and as we go through the coast we'll see drizzle as that southerly surge certainly has arrived. tomorrow morning you'll wake up to misty skies and low clouds all the way to theal h altamont pass as this sets up for a very cool start to the work week. trivalley will see numbers nowhere near the 90s. more about that coming up. diane? >> thank you, rob. in theelta two people drowned after the small fishing boat capsized this weekend. the drowning happened yesterday morning about five miles west of stockton. we're told three people were in the fishing boat when it overturned and a passing boater manageed to rescue one of the three. crews found one body and the

well as his wife's version. it all has to do with a fight they had in december that resulted in him being suspended from his job as sheriff. during that fight, he bruised his wife's arm leading to charges. his wife's friend and neighbor, ivory madison, is the one who first alerted authorities to the fight. in a sworn statement madison's version of what that bruise happened and how is different from he and his wife's statements. the key difference? the husband and wife say it happened near the car while madison says it happened inside the house as the fight escalated. that difference will likely be a key point during the hearing on the case scheduled to begin on tuesday at city hall. one man is dead and a woman is behind bars tonight after an apparent intentional hit and run in east oakland. wit-y her car woman hit the after a street fight around 9:00 last night. near 61st avenue, a few blocks north of the oakland coliseum

solidarity ahead preventing crime similar to what happened during the period of the great depression. let's right now go back out to raj mathai who is at the olympic club. chilly, raj? >> it is chimy and foggy and now the crews are breaking this place down. when we come back we'll talk about one of the most touching parts of the golf tournament that had nothing to do with the golfers. we'll steak you behind ttake yos with tiger woods. >> and you saw how the weather was a story at the u.s. open. all the cooling making a dent in our temperatureses as you watch the fog spill in tomorrow one of the places that was the hottest this weekend, tomorrow only near 80. we'll talk about biges in yourhang in your workweek forecast when we come back.
