You Won't See Jungle Bird At This Year's U.S. Open Trophy Ceremony

Last year's U.S. Open trophy ceremony was improved with the appearance of a man squawking in front of the camera.

A couple months later, "Jungle Bird" got onto the field during a Notre Dame-Navy game and danced. Jungle Bird was planning to attend this year's U.S. Open for a repeat performance, but Merion Golf Club decided to ban him from the grounds.
