Jesus with the dart on the 18th

[JaNelson38]

62 coming. Jesus said shut up mike Davis !

 

I hope he makes it. What a round of golf.

[Symeon Star-Eyes]

Put it in Fleetwood.

[Christen_The_Sloop]

This is a joke, way too easy today.

 

The 10 guys at +6 or worse today probably disagree with you

 

If they're already in at +6 today, then it's them and not the course. They played crappy.

 

Just like so many yesterday hit really bad shots.

 

They hit bad shots because the course gave them no opportunities.

 

Scoring average today is still +2. This course is anything but easy. It's the perfect mix, to be honest. It's just a shame the USGA screwed the pooch with the course manipulations yesterday.

 

When you set up a course fair, water it properly, this is what you get - a great round where the players are showcased and great play is rewarded.

 

Wrong.

 

You get bombers who can attack every pin, like every tournament before and after this, with very very few exceptions.

 

I didnt wake up to see fair. I woke up hoping to see golf's ultimate test not the Shark Shootout.

[Jagpilotohio]

Wow. The great Hairy one from across the pond is going to be something of a demi god if he makes this thing. 62?? Maybe?

[mosesgolf]

62 coming. Jesus said shut up mike Davis !

Well actually it was probably Phil. :D

[MtlJeff]

If Fleetwood makes this, is he a commentator in 20 years with an obssession for "hog's backs"?

[JackpotJohnny]

Ronnie with a lawn dart!

 

Hes definitely "beating the beat!!!"

 

 

Isn’t it vinny who beats up the beat?

[PZero]

Announcers curse.

[bladehunter]

Dang it !!!!

[LittleLeftToRight]

If Fleetwood can can that putt, it might make history. We won't have to listen to Miller talking about how he had the greatest final round in US Open history.

 

C'mon Fleets!

[lowheel]

golf gods say no... he was very tentative on that one though which is understandable

[FIRs&GIRs&3-Putts]

Miller just did a Tiger fist-pump

[p3ga]

Well done Mr. Fleetwood.

[lowheel]

If Fleetwood makes this, is he a commentator in 20 years with an obssession for "hog's backs"?

 

or trap draws?

[lil_jinx13]

Course record was 65. We are going to have 5-10 beating that today. Today's setup was botched for sure.

[4thand11]

Tommy needed those 2 short putts on 16 and 18 - heck of a round though.

[tgtaggie]

Golf gods wouldn’t allow Tommy to shoot a 62 today

[Always_rough]

I think Fleetwood's scorecard just shows how bad the USGA messed this one up. 78 to 63.

[LittleLeftToRight]

When he was lining that up I knew he would miss it low.

 

Bummer!

[755]

And Miller breathes a sigh of relief.

[Singapore Joe]

Fleetwood is out. Now, could someone please switch on the wind? My remote controller is acting up, that birdie putt for 62 was supposed to drop.

Edit: typo

[fbang]

I think they should have kept it the way it was but the USGA will officially always get blamed regardless of what they do.

[bscinstnct]

Standing ovation by the gallery/stands for golf jesus.

 

Gotta give a little credit there.

C'mon Fleets!

 

Why do people rip on Miller around these parts? Dude was a stud for a stretch and his 63 is indeed one of best of all time.

 

Besides, I can't recall a time he brought it up- maybe his booth mates, but not him.

[JaNelson38]

Um...2 guys have posted 65 or better today. I'd love to know the other 8 who will.

[MtlJeff]

Tommy needed those 2 short putts on 16 and 18 - heck of a round though.

 

I don't know, i still think he's got a 50/50 chance of winning outright if not better than that. As easy as it's playing today compared to yesterday there's still only one more par 5, nasty rough....etc..plus it's the final round of a major.

[topr]

The course is going to get tougher as the day goes. A +2 might get you in a playoff

[tannyhoban]

Golf is in a weird situation where they have to play crazy golf to keep the scores down at tournaments because of technological advancements as soon as there's a bit of moisture on the greens, there are several players in the low 60s.

 

USGA can't win really because their goal is an Even par winner. The Open and PGA just let it happen, sometimes the winner is -5, sometimes the winner is -18. But they aren't playing for an arbitrary number.

 

Who says "they" have to?

[Jackhammer993]

Nice round by Fleetwood. Not going to be enough.
