2018 United States Open

Well it was fun while it lasted. Now it's just your run-of-the-mill birdie fest.

 

I agree 100%. I think I'm going to go run some errands

perfect to me.. hit a good shot get a good result... this way its skill and not who ever gets the luckiest bounce..

[JaNelson38]

Today there is no danger of any doubles or worse. Just birdies, pars and if you hit a bad shot maybe an outside chance at a bogey. It is what it is. A walk in the park. Very sad they felt the pressure to take the bite out of this course and than caved to that pressure. Today is more like The PGA Championship, what a dissapointment.

 

There are still more bogeys than birdies so far today. I don't know what you are looking for.

 

Today is the fair setup that these players have wanted all along.

 

One of the announcers said earlier that on 11 of the holes the pin is right in the middle of the green.

 

That's where a lot of the holes NEED to be at Shinnecock if you want something other than carnage.

 

If they did this setup yesterday for moving day and allowed these guys the chance to score a bit, I would have had zero issues with the USGA setting up yesterdays pins for championship Sunday. They really, really messed it up.

Yawn fest now. Although they'll probably get lucky and have enough guys in contention that the finish will be up in the air until,the end.

 

Will resemble a run of the mill Sunday af a weekly rprour stop.

More bogeys than birdies today.

 

But believe what you want.

"If you're a bowler you know what that is" - How'd Azinger get this job?

 

And how does it make sense? Three strikes bowled in a row is a “turkey”, but how is that the same as three birdies in a row?

[dlygrisse]

First it was Tiger’s stupid off center Nike swoops in the back, and now, hey, Nike, end those stupid hats with the rope on it and stop trying to emulate those white trash trump hats.

 

They’re trying to make the US Open great again.

"If you're a bowler you know what that is" - How'd Azinger get this job?

 

I used to like Azinger a bunch when he called the Open when it was on ABC/ESPN. He has really slipped since then.

 

He was definitely afraid to insult his Sugar Daddy. Back in the day he would have been screaming about the course yesterday.

Guys/gals this could come down to the final three holes

[Sean2]

It really wouldn't take much. Somebody just has to have the balls the be the first to take action. They'll still be a few who will continue, but the majority will shut hell up once they realize there will be consequences.

 

I agree! I called out a guy who was dropping "f" bombs at the range left and right and there were a bunch of kids around. After I spoke to him the guy huffed, picked up his clubs and left. The parents thanked me. I was wondering why one of them didn't say anything.

Sean :superman: Jack Reacher range master

 

Ha! It wasn't that, I just couldn't listen to his language with all those kids around. If there weren't any kids around I couldn't have cared less.

[paulshack]

I'm going to guess we'll have a 18 hole playoff tomorrow.

 

Lol, you didnt hear about the playoff change or you kidding.

I didn't, what is it

PR wins and its 2nd leg of a slam.

 

But, by all means, go buy some rotisserie chickens and get an oil change ; )

That iron was as loud as a driver!

Yeah, as someone else opined it seemed they did of got things in reverse.

If you hit good shots yesterday you got good, or at least acceptable results, for the most part. There were a lot of really bad shots. A whole lot more than good shots that got bad breaks.

[Jackhammer993]

Id say -1 is the number to get to today. Even might even be enough. If Reed wins I think he would place this above the Masters win. He would be a great champion

For the first time, in the event of a tie, the national championship would come down to a two-hole aggregate playoff on Nos. 17 and 18.

Patrick Reed looks awesome right now

Welcome to GolfWRX, Jordan.

Oh shty ! Finua! flaps down on that shot would have help

[deadsolid...shank]

Just like that, Finau's shot. Was that because of the course? Crappy shots got crappy results.

I couldn’t agree more. I was talking to someone and said, “There we’re a lot of crappy shots yesterday. Good shots were overwhelmingly rewarded than course forced disasters.”

 

You miss a green, you can’t expect to get up and down every single time.

[cardoza]

WTF is Azinger talking about with Koepka's driving iron? He spoke like he's seen it before, it's just the Nike Vapor Fly 3 iron that he's had forever, and it clearly has a number on it. Strange commentary.

 

[imakaveli]

You guys should be pissed, these idiots made your national Open into golf’s dumbest test...

[MI517]

I’m in the ‘anyone but Reed’ camp for the T10 in contention right now. Slight edge to rooting for DJ/Finau

[JaNelson38]

Id say -1 is the number to get to today. Even might even be enough. If Reed wins I think he would place this above the Masters win. He would be a great champion

 

Not if the winds stay where they are at. Back nine nerves will play in too.

 

I think +2 is a winning score.

[Frankensteins Monster]

With all of the people up there, I don’t mind any of them winning. I’d like to have Reed win, or Fleetwood.

[golfnoob25]

Wow

[deadsolid...shank]

Well, we have Azinger commentating, so it's well matched.

[ItIsJack]

IMO yesterday was awesome to watch. Today is like every other week. Disappointing
