2018 USWO

[KBong]

Just looked at all the results...A LOT of lousy scores posted today....I think the avg score today was 75-76.

I hope the USGA sets up the course really tough and long tomorrow....but in reality....I don't see the course stretched out as it gives Ariya an advantage and the USGA doesn't want it to be a boring runaway tomorrow.

Foxes uninterrupted coverage is so painful/awful I wouldn't mind a few 5 minute commercial interruptions. Can't pronounce Ariya's last name the whole broadcast. Juli Inkster is impossible to listen to. And then of course the crowning glory the silicon babe with nails that would make a lion proud. At least they have learned not to show her full length with her I'm 20 years younger outfits..

 

At one point, either Buck or Azinger asked Julie Inkster if she had ever had pink hair. How do you answer that? Julie was nonplussed.

 

What is this, amateur hour?

[Shilgy]

Jutan-uh garn, Jutan-ewe-garn, or Jutan-you-garn? Confusion reigns.

 

In Thai, it is Ju-tun-nu-garn

 

Source: am Thai

Except I recall seeing an interview with Ariya a few weeks ago and she said it is Jue tan u garn.

[Bob Cat]

A nights sleep can reset a good or bad round. I'm not giving it to Ariya just yet but she did look very comfortable yesterday.

Hoping Smith can reel in her game but I'm not betting on it. Hope the gap tightens up.

 

Azinger's a very good listen on podcasts but seems stuffy here. I'll give him a pass. Joe? No. I like Inkster. She's a pistol.

 

Holly looked fantastic, articulate and comfortable. You go girl.

[legitimategolf]

Why do people keep saying Ariya "Jutañugarn"? I am almost positive that she is not from Spain.

 

 

Please people, do not look to Joe Buck for correct pronunciations of Asian golfer names. Jesus H. Christ.

Well they are definitely gonna have to change 17th so players don't have to land the ball where they did yesterday for their 3rd shots, there was about a 60 yard stretch on the fairway that was just like a mud bog. The players would have been better off laying up with their 2nd shot into the rough than the fairway lol

This is USGA, you may well be talking to a wall.

Why does my DTV guide show a Cubs baseball game on, and coverage of the golf starting at 4et? That is 2 hours late, right?

Yeah it starts at 2, but Fox might pre-empt coverage in some regional coverage for Baseball. They did it last night, some got extended coverage when it went past 7 pm and other switched to a regional coverage of Baseball. I think it will depend where you live and what team they are covering in baseball today

I think the final group tee off at 1 central time

[Stooch]

Imbee and Madelene is a pretty solid feature group for the stream

If this was the USO...no way the USGA would let that area occur....they would have put in a lot of resources to fix it.....Mikey fails again.

[legitimategolf]

Joe Buck doing much better today. Must give credit.

[KBong]

This announcing crew is the worst. None of these people own a passport, from the sound of things.

In 1994, only 10% of Mericans owned a passport...now it's 40%....must be all those Millennials who don't want to work and use mommy & daddy's money to travel and do selfies, FB & Instagram.

[Stooch]

Ariya is about to go 2000 Tiger Woods on the US Open field lol

[KBong]

Did Lexi change her putter today?

[Stooch]

Did Lexi change her putter today?

Yesterday, I believe.

[KBong]

Bermuda rough with moist soil is such a nasty playing surface....especially trying to chip/pitch around the greens.....chunk or skull city for we hacks.

Luckily, bermuda is not used in the PNW.

[Man_O_War]

Ariya is about to go 2000 Tiger Woods on the US Open field lol

 

no kidding. Must be a Thai thing lol. Doesn't even need her driver. Hits that 3 wood so far on long holes. ..She's as long as the men.

[KBong]

Steve Eubanks just mentioned how immature Ariya was when she 1st came out on tour.

I saw this in 2015 at the CP CWO.

Ariya was doing this stupid silent thing with her caddie ( I think it might have been Les ) ....it was the most ridiculous thing I have seen from a pro golfer.

 

If Ariya didn't injure her shoulder goofing off with Moriya years ago....she likely would have many more tour wins....I think Ariya re-injured her shoulder last year.

Whatever Paul Azinger's attributes are, he is way out of his element. Yesterday he admitted to not knowing how to pronounce Jutanugarn. In my view, if you don't bother to learn how to pronounce the name of one of the top players in the world and one of the favorites, you are not qualified to announce the event.

[larciel]

Just turned on TV to see ariya do 7 on 10th hole.

 

 

[JMoroz]

Well Brooke just withdrew from the event for personal reasons. Hope all is well with her family.

 

That’s too bad, I was hoping she’d turn it around today.

 

Hope everything is ok.

 

Heard one of her close friend's father passed away unexpectedly.

[Stooch]

Can H.J.Kim pick Ariya's pocket?

[larciel]

Man. Is this a major sunday? There are barely any spectator following groups..

 

Can H.J.Kim pick Ariya's pocket?

 

I bet ariya bogies 12th.. then it's game on.

[UncleJohn’sBand]

Wow, this is almost getting out of hand. Standing on 10 tee with a 7 shot lead, walking to 13 with a 2 shot lead.

[Stooch]

SJS isn't helping Ariya by gagging it up too

[larciel]

HJ Kim got nervous too..

 

[Christen_The_Sloop]

Cinderella story?

[Stooch]

H.J. Kim not messing around now, a bit lucky but that's golf
