Did Timberlake, Vegas’ PGA Tour Host, Do Vegas Proud?
It would be easy to throw Justin Timberlake under the bus today for not representing Las Vegas golf very well en route to shooting a 27-over par 98 in US Open conditions on the Friday before the big boys tee off at Torrey Pines next week. Very easy, especially considering he’s about a six handicap. But we won’t because in life and golf it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish and Timberlake went ‘Jordan’ over the final few holes to shoot a ‘respectable’ 98. Timberlake was one-fourth of a foursome that featured The Today Show host Matt Lauer, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and amateur golfer John Atkinson. They took up a challenge thrown down by Golf Digest to try to and break 100 on a U.S. Open layout.
