US Open Golf
-
I've read a few articles on the US open this weekend, and how ridiculously hard it is going to be. Tiger reckons Winged Foot is in the top 3 hardest courses in the World. By all accounts the rough is ridiculous, and everything is narrow.
I've just seen videos of the greens and they are fucked. Fast, slopped, all over the fucking shop. I've just watched one where the guy putted 20 foot one way past the hole, and it ended up as far the other side of the hole after it rolled back (having stopped).
I reckon i would battle to break 200. If you make par apparently you'll win.
Should be hilarious viewing

That play into tigers 3 wood and balanced play. Likely a 60/1 shot though.
Go Ryan Fox!!
-
Fox reckons and over par score will win
-
I think so too. Only once in the US Opens played at this venue has the winner been under par. Just look at how lush that rough is and it will stay lush too throughout the 4 days with no crowds to trample it.
Course looks amazing.
-
@JK love to have a crack at a course like this!
I recall when I played in a big tournament at St Andrews in Hamilton, which isnt overly tight, but they had set it up narrow with long thick rough, slick greens, I had some big holes that day!
-
Been an interesting watch so far with a couple of aces and now having a laugh at Phil hitting some classic big lefty fades!
JT leading at -5 with Patrick Reed -4 and Rory at-3 all in the club house
Ryan Fox all done at +4 and Danny started OK and back to even after 5 after dropping a shot on his first hole
-
Danny ends even after a standard danny lee bogey birdie sorta day.
Mickelson +9 and at the ass end of the field
-
Haha kokrak is a funny name
-
-
Danny Lee T35th at +5 makes the cut, Reed leading at -4 only a few left on course
Fox misses the cut, T140th on +19
-
Totally forgot about round 2 and only just seen the leaderboard and I think today's scoring is much more like what I expected round 1 to be.
That 85 of foxys looks like a disaster. 3 doubles on the front and another couple of the back. Looks like one of my cards
A few notable names scoring in the 80s today - Garcia and Speith both with 81s
-
@JK Sung Kang highman with 86, 4 doubles for a 46 in the front 9!
-
Gotta wonder what Danny got up to on the 18th today.....finished his round with a 9

Wtf!!!!

@JK Looks like he was channeling me!
-
And he has pulled out, pretty pathetic if only due to a sulk over those putts, rather than an injury

He's had sooo many withdraws though!
-
Just 23 of 56 fairways hit by the bloke with a 6 shot lead, on this course, amazing!

I hadn't seen the footage, tried to find it yesterday and couldn't. What a petulant fuckwit, that 3rd putt was disgusting
-
Footage is
-
And Bryson wins the US open....the only player under par...

Second hatiest player on the tour. Glad there was no crowd for him.
That footage of Danny Lee though. That is some severe club abuse at the end.

@Hooroo I havent followed alot about Bryson, but I see he cops alot of shit on social media, whats that all about?

I'm not too sure about the social media thing but when he went off at a reporter for showing his bad golf and focusing on him when raging and he said they shouldn't as it will affect his brand, he immediately went into the DH basket

@voodoo wrist seemed fine when he took out his anger on his bag

Watched the final round in its entirety. Was pretty boring once BDC got the the 3 shot lead, as then he just played "par golf", nothing exciting, all very boring.
I do like his methods though.
