2018 United States Open

[TheMoneyShot]

Fleetwood is in a complete zone!

[MtlJeff]

Have I tuned into a charity vegas?

[2putttom]

Fleetwood will post a score and pray for wind.

according to a wind surfing local that prayer will go unanswered

[ItIsJack]

Those numbers sound awfully similar to a regular tournament. It's the US Open, it shouldn't even be close to even (although I admit it doesn't have to be as bad as yesterday).

 

The average score right now is 72.1. +2. That doesn't happen much on the PGA Tour after the cut unless weather intervenes.

 

I don't know what you want. This is the perfect mix of protecting par while giving the players a chance to make some birdies.

 

 

They want a sufferfest, they don't even care if they see great golf.

 

Shooting +2 on a hard course can be more impressive than -8 on an easy course. I don’t need to see a 65 to recognize good golf. I like the US Open because if you can’t lose your concentration for 1 shot. Every other week the players only make bogies if they have a couple of bad shots on one hole

@Tommy Fleetwood

So that's what catching lightning in a bottle looks like. :D

[2putttom]

I think next year the fairways should be a little wider. The USGA screwed up making them so narrow....

awww Pebble? ain't gonna happen not enough real estate

[bladehunter]

I saying +5 wins this. The wind is picking up and it is going to expose these guys once they get to the tougher back nine. Watch out for Matty Fitz

 

Looks like Fleetwood is going to post something lower than that and see if anyone can catch him.

 

I picked him in my pool, this is just shocking

 

my phone blowimg up now from guys cussing fleetwood...... cause i picked him too... lol

[dlygrisse]

Reed is as serious as a hang nail ...ive heard it all now ...

 

I’ve had multiple issues in the last week worse than a hangnail. Maybe hangover?

If that is what you want then they should stop playing the US Open at this course.

 

The wind is supposed to protect this course and the USGA has zero control over that.

[Always_rough]

Koepka going to dodge an eagle from Dj? What?

[challengers]

So we are all dying to know how to properly pronounce Brooks’s name.

 

I don't know but it can't be how they are pronouncing it FFS. It sounds ridiculous. But that's just me, as an international viewer :)

It just irritates me that is all.

our game was draft 3 players and 3 scores count on the weekdays and one score counts on the weekends. I was tied for the lead going into today, now running away with this

[dlygrisse]

I wanna see captain America go for the slam.

[Jackhammer993]

For those of you defending this course setup today what are your expectations of the US Open? This is not traditional US Open golf. This is bordering on Bob Hope Desert Classic stuff. The pressure of a major will get to some no matter what the course but this course is playing way to easy. As far as the tournament so far so good. Lots of guys in it, going to be interesting finish.

[buckeyefl]

Those that complained that yesterday the course was too tough, will probably complain today that it is too easy.

 

Both could be true.

Not me. This is great. A perfect mix. Showcasing the players and course, not USGA manipulations.

 

It really is a personal choice isn't it, which you like better. For me, I feel like we get low scoring on a weekly basis. I like, once a yea, to see them struggle.

 

Rose and Stenson played great golf yesterday to shoot rounds just over par.

 

I like the concept of surviving to win the Open. Others like to see birdies. All good, no matter which, just hope it's an exciting finish.

Not sure with brooks but

 

Alot of families from all over the globe "americanize" the pronunciation of their last names over the generations.

“That’s too much sugar for a nickel right there”.....WTF?

 

Zinger just keeps throwing them out there.

 

I don’t get the Azinger hate. I think he’s a pretty cool cat. The kind of cat that would like to lick the beard off Beef’s face and then go chase the rabbits around in the briar patch. Because you know, rabbits like briar patches.

[2putttom]

hey you Canadian and Italian hob nobbers.. "even for the week and leading by two" THAT'S THE U S Open ! :taunt:

[Always_rough]

Sugar Sand? I should honestly just mute this.

[nichho]

Mike Davis is setting up a contract on Tommy as we watch. He'll never finish this round......shame

Could be wrong but at a glance

 

I doubt the aggregate scores off all players will be much under par today if at all

[Jagpilotohio]

I know this has been asked a few times.....but why does it seem like the crowd is mic’d?

 

Did they actually point mics toward on all the screaming buffoons in the gallery on purpose?

[deadsolid...shank]

What a time to leave a putt short! Wow.

[bscinstnct]

Ha! Fans seem a little better mannered today, giving him support

[JaNelson38]

That putt from Fleetwood looked pretty bumpy.

[Jackhammer993]

That’s the end of Fleetwood chance, He had a good run

[hybrid25]

Sure, yesterday's conditions were borderline Fair, but I think the golfers have been to use to cream puff conditions on the rest of the tour outings using driver wedge to a green that's very receptive. If they played smartly yesterday for the center of the green, for the most part, they would have been okay. This is turning out to be a great finish as of right now.

[Jackhammer993]

Reed, love it

It shouldn't be. One really bad hole by one player (Phil yesterday) can completely offset a great round by someone else (Fleetwood today) or several good solid rounds.
