2018 United States Open

Watching this tournament reminds me more and more of a frat house party. Supposedly this iconic, historically laden venue has turned the keys over to a bunch of misbegotten, ill-behaved morons, whose only claim to fame will be a further dilution of the gene pool.

I've never been a big fan of DJ, but he earned a ton of respect from me today for not bitchin' and moanin' about the course. I'm rooting for him tomorrow.

 

DJ showed the heart of a champion today. I think he wins tomorrow.

 

USGA will overcorrect and make the course too soft. A host of guys could win it tomorrow.

 

They cant get it "too soft". It's already too far gone for that.

 

Oh they could . Mud balls on the green if you use enough water. Cause they sure don’t have any grass left.

 

Lol touche. Good point.

Sitting in the stands watching Brian Harmon four putt 18 today made me really sad. Dude looked extremely sad after that one. All these dudes got killed today on 18. Only person I saw make par while I sat there was JT. Watched Duff's yipps up close, was bad.

Dear Mike Davis:

 

They're called "greens." They're not called "browns."

 

No player ever had a plan for hitting the 18th brown.

Nobody was ever assigned to mow the browns, or measure the speed of the browns.

 

Anybody familiar with a Crayola 12-pack can identify what your problem is. Everybody at the USGA is color blind.

 

Sincerely,

 

Golf Fans.

Wonder if Phil gets a sponsor "incentive" to wear long sleeves tomorrow.

 

A guy can hope, right?

[Big Cat 3]

The USGA must hate Dustin. No one seems to get screwed more by Mike Davis them him....Thank God he has Paula to soften the blow:-)

That bald chimp Davis is jealous of DJ ... the coke and babes are something Davis can only dream about, that and ruining golf courses

[BiggErn]

Phil should carry a bottle of water and “accidentally” drop it on his green on his line tomorrow.

[aabcuue]

Did it rain yesterday? Soft greens?

 

quite a bit and yes

[Big Cat 3]

Any chance Davis is still employed of the usga answered to anyone ?

He answers to the players ... that is why the USGA had to add to prize money and admit ( every year ) that their tourney sucks

His Governance probably can tell Davis to get him more coffee too

I hear Mike Davis will be wearing a clown costume when he hands over the trophy to the the player who wins at +12.

This tournament is an absolute disgrace, the biggest joke in professional golf I have ever seen. Hand over the tournament to the PGA or close it forever.

[Big Cat 3]

Who’s gonna fall on the sword? Davis or Bodenhamer?

It’s his governance! and the dbag

[BiggErn]

They’re ripping Phil on the GC but maybe it will take something like this to make positive changes in the USGA and maybe the rules. The fact this happens multiple times at the US open should say something.

[bigchucksr]

One thing is for sure--tomorrow is going to be a great day to watch golf! Anyone from 10 over (or more) to the current leaders have a chance to win. It will be a free-for-all for six hours and I'm not going to miss a minute. I can't wait.

[vjswing]

This is a US Open, last year Erin Hills was clown golf

 

The funny thing is, that the same guy may end up with both trophies in his case.

[Greg_B]

This is now 20/20 hindsight, but Shinnecock needs to have grounds crew standing by at each green on days like today to syringe the greens between each group all day long to maintain some consistency throughout a round.

[Canoe Paddler]

I am relatively new to paying close attention to golf tournaments. When is the last US Open that didn’t involve controversy due to course conditions or scoring?

I honestly think the course is gonna be a mess. They're gonna try hard and soften it, but all it will lead to is crappy, inconsistent greens. And if grass is already dead or non existent now, it won't be there tomorrow.

 

 

[Symeon Star-Eyes]

Honestly I'm going to look at it a little differently if Finau or Berger go on to win. They played under completely different conditions and if the course had been kept in a fairly consistent conditions for the later groups, they would not be near the lead.

They all play the same greens, so no problemo

You can say the same thing about the Thursday afternoon groups

I hate this argument. The "they all have to play it" does not excuse crappy course managment by a tournament grounds crew.

[TheLarch]

I'm beginning to understand why Diana Murphy drinks.

The greens this afternoon were nothing like what Finau had in the morning. Nothing.

[Big Cat 3]

Davis and his governance are AMs, not pros, and they need to let the actual course greenskeepers set the placements, not a ''committee'' of lawyers, politicians, arse kissers and other assorted thieves heading the USGA. they are not picking out a new USGA logo they are addressing the setup of the National Championship.

You talkin 'bout the USGA or the "patrons"??

That tramp was passed out by 2 pm, she hasn’t seen 1 putt roll 60 yds off the green

[NoFancyUsername.]

Whiners and moaners can get irritating.

Sing along together now.
