I don't believe Goosen's melt down was that of the likes Norman has back in 1996, Norman knew Augusta National well, these guys don't know Pinehurst like they know Augusta and there's something to be said for that too.

Also, the U.S. Open is just a different kind of animal and is hard to try and win, not taking anything away from Augusta National, but it's basically the same course for the most part year in and year out...the U.S. Open run by the USGA tries to make the course have a certain playability, whereas knowing Augusta and knowing how it plays would've given Norman much more on his side that fateful April Sunday in 1996...than Goosen had yesterday...it was only his 6th competitive round at Pinehurst compared to how many Norman had at Augusta before his meltdown...

I do believe Goosen will rebound from this give away and hope he does. I'm sure a lot of guys would aptly name this course PineHurts now....
