Golf related traffic was minimal today; beach traffic is the real issue, St. George's isn't full at all so I don't think many actually came for the final 18 playoff or whatever was going on today. As long as it's finally over, beach traffic is normal and easily dealt with via backroads.
Friday and Saturday were the real horror shows for inbound golf fans in the AM. I live literally at the edge of St. George's, I could see the traffic out my windows and drove by it on my way to work Friday and Saturday. The traffic redirection was well done for the most part, unless they happened to put all the traffic in your neighborhood. Ocean Drive was dead quiet because no one could park out there, all spectators were dropped in my neighborhood in Middletown. Only people that actually drove into and parked in Newport for the tourney were VIP, as far as I know and even they were parked off of Bellevue.
Newport screwed over Middletown big time for the US Open.
