Saw you write that in another thread. I have to agree that makes no sense. Would they even allow that? I'm sure he can hit up the celeb ones.

USOpen should be interesting. Sounds like a massively long course. Hopefully the rough is long enough to keep the big hitters from dominating the course/event.

Dj got this for a repeat I suspect. I think Strange was the last to repeat as champ. Not easy to do.

The course is not fooling anyone. Tons of players under par.

Who let FOX out bid them for TV rights?
A player just missed a long birdie on 18 and was then 2 inches away and good ole J. Buck treated the dumb TV viewer like he does with all sports (and he needs to stick to baseball because he knows nothing about golf) by saying the guy had a short tap in left for par. Really?

Yeah I can't watch the Fox broadcast. Bleh. Although I heard Curtis Strange for the bit I did watch, always liked him. He's good. This course ended up being a toothless tiger. Guys are smoking it. They should have left the tall grass alone.

The tall stuff isn't the problem. The fairways are 60 yards wide.


The top 3 (who are watching on TV this weekend) were all in that stuff.


There are kinds of records being broken this week - not the least of which is most men ever double digits below (I believe) at the moment.


This course is an embarrassment to the greatest tournament in the world.



Will be rooting for Koepka today though (outside of the small chance Sneds or ZJ could work a miracle).

I think it's time the USGA/PGA rethinks modern technology. The ball is so juiced now guys like the winner over-power a long course. That's not good. Nicklaus was absolutely correct; change the ball.

The tourney was a yawner. -16 is not a good look for the USOpen. Dart golf is majorly boring.

What's up with all the 'we' stuff? We?! It's not a team sport. Seems like caddies are relied upon too much. These guys don't seem to be able to pull a club and hit the ball. No wonder the game is sooo slow now. haha Rant over.

What other sport allows players to determine which ball to use? Brady was suspended just for adjusting psi.

Bones and Lefty separate? Never thought that would happen.
