2020 US Open

Nice coverage - cut away from Matsuyama's ball as it rolls back from toward the hole...

 

But, if they are going to show Reed chunking more pitch shots, I'll let it go.

Calling Rory for the win tomorrow.....i think all these guys fold.

[SwooshLT]

Wait.......what was that? Dublinski by Reed on 11? Ugh

Rahm the golfer, has a ton of game. Rahm the person, needs a lot of work. My sister manages a Bar & Grill in Scottsdale, and she told me he's so abhorrent, that the wait staff routinely draws straws to see who gets stuck with his table.

Please more details....bad tipper??

The dechambeau par 5 game plan:

Blast drive, wedge on, 3 putt.

 

I swear the minute he gets one to drop he's gonna turn to somebody and say "Happy learned how to putt. Uh-oh!"

 

 

Also, enjoy this video I found:

He sank plenty of long putts yesterday. He seems to blow hot and cold with the putter, even day to day.

Well, better watch out for him getting the gallery to move large boulders that are in his line of play. Wait, there are no galleries at WF. No large boulders either. Someone with respect for the rules of golf wouldn’t have thought to even ask.

Tiger respected the rules and used them in his favor. Cheating, and using the rules in your favor are two different things.

That's the first thing I asked her too. Apparently that's not the problem, or at least she didn't mention that. No, apparently he treats everyone outside his circle, at least in the restaurant, like they are all WELL beneath him. I think the word she used was that he was consistently "loathsome" towards her staff. He comes in there at least once or twice a month, so you can't really chalk it up to a bad day on his part. She did mention that when he's in there with his girlfriend/wife?, that he seems a little more "human"...was the phrase she used.

 

Frankly I was surprised, as, at least on TV, he comes off as a regular guy who you wouldn't mind having a brew with. Oh well. In the end, it's his loss.

As he misses a 3 ft putt.....

On perfect greens it's really difficult to understand all the short putts being missed.

Kind of, on the other hand they are so fast that the players have to put so defensively there's a lot of break affecting them. The ball just picks up that little curl at the end.

Im predicting Wolf runs away with this thing....im seeing ZERO fear in this kids eyes.

I just meant his golf game.  I knew nothing about him as a person.  That's pretty sad though; someone who's blessed to play a game for a living and make a ton of money, going around treating people like crap.  It also cracks me up, because athletes and actors are literally modern day court jesters whose value lies in entertaining the masses.  How they've come to believe they're above everyone else is beyond me.

Because we pay them millions and put them on pedestals as a society.

So technically I think that's a twoputt

Things tightening up.

Making a mess of 17

[SwooshLT]

We should have known that Reed would shoot +5 or higher......lead after 36 at Bandon Dunes followed with a 76 on Saturday...... 

[BAlberstadt]

So like we were all saying, it's Rory McIlroy's tournament to lose... ?

Preach! I'll assume the money gives them certain levels of cache ....... your level of invincibility increases and humbleness disappears......or something like that!

Rory is going to win this

I agree with you, Kilo. My first thought when she was laying it all out, was one of sadness, for him. All that he has going for him, all the good things he likely has ahead of him, heck....I'd be smiling 24/7. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Tiger fans moving that boulder may as well have been lumberjacks cutting a tree down for him.

I'm liking Louie tomorrow.   Cool customer.

[BobMorris]

With all the comments on Thursday about the course being too easy...etc..etc, I think it looks like there could be no one under par come Sunday evening.
