Ryan Moore

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Toward the end of his eight-minute, anti-USGA rant Sunday, Ryan Moore was asked if he would play at any future U.S Open. "Probably, just to torture myself," he told a handful of reporters off the 18th green. "I get angry, and it makes me hate golf for about two months, and then I'm OK again." Moore shot a solid two-over-par 73 on Sunday to put himself in position for a top-40 finish. But to hear him tell it, Moore got little out of the experience other than extreme frustration.

" He's in prime position to do that after firing a five-under-par 66 that included only one bogey.

Soldan, a 31-year-old used car salesman from Macomb Township, Mich., was given his ticket by Ryan Moore, the reigning U.S. Amateur Public Links champion.
