PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Mike Weir was unhappy with his golf in his two rounds at the U.S. Open this week, but at least he had one thing to smile about. That would be Thursday night’s NBA Finals-clinching victory by the Toronto Raptors.
Weir is a native of Ontario, Canada — Brights Grove — which is not far from Toronto. So he was excited by the Raptors' victory over Golden State Thursday night to give them their first NBA title.
“I’ve got the fever for them,” he said. “The whole nation was captivated by them.”
Weir shot his second consecutive 74 Friday afternoon, leaving him with a 148 total, four shots off the cut line.
