“He looked like a middle linebacker when he first came out on tour.  Now he looks like a fullback.” 
 

Zinger is the worst.  I miss you Johnny.  

[BobMorris]

After Zinger kicked that crap out, I knew it would get some shade here. lol

You mean the NFL doesn't have 180lb middle linebackers?

I think these guys brains are fried, never seen anything like this before at US open. Maltby said as much. 

[ATLgopher]

Wolff is going to melt like a grilled cheese tomorrow 

[tannyhoban]

Wolff playing with Bryson will be detrimental for both.

He’s confusing with pop Warner

Youll have the 2 longest hitters, both in their twenties, in final group tomorrow. This in the tournament where "play safe and keep it in the fairway" has been the norm. Anyone who thinks power and youth aren't taking over aren't getting it. 

What they are doing is going to have an impact going forward how the game is played. 

[Christen_The_Sloop]

Thought over par would get it done, before today. Now I'm thinking -2. They could be saving some black magic for tomorrow.

Fall rough in NY is easier than Summer rough. It's true here in Ohio too. There I said it.

Wait till defensive ends start playing ...  

[bladehunter]

Well.  I just walked back inside to see that reed has blown up.  Guess there’s no choice but to pull for Bryson or a Louis O. Hail marry win.  Oh well.

This is a great US Open. Showcasing a new generation of talent on what along with Oakmont is the best US Open course possible. Wolff and Bryson will make for an intriguing match with Schauffele and Rory close behind. I would not be telling the truth if I didn’t think the lack of galleries has had an impact but you need to make the best of the conditions you are given and that’s what they are doing. Golf is in a good place. 

[Ronnie Mundt]

Awesome to see Reed fade away. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving player.

I haven't found out exactly what he meant by that. Was he commenting on the design or condition?

Poa for anyone not raised on it , sucks.  

[Yuck]

JT and Rahm 6 over today, Reed +7 and Bryson shoots 70?   I would not of believed it, but Bryson is the only one who’s game plan assumes being in the rough.  It just might work.  But Matsuyama  takes this at -2.;

Yeah. If you look at 16 (was it?) BD had it 347 and Reed was 320. That's two maybe three clubs difference. The longer the course, the bigger the advantage. Think of all the players that tried to do what he's done and their games have suffered (Spieth, Ko) and he's in the final group of the US Open the first year of the experiment. You can say what you want about his personality, but he is blazing a trail.

I was raised on it. It still sucks.

[BAlberstadt]

A look at the percentages again, via Data Golf. Wolff at 51.2% seems a bit generous...

 

Who ya got?

What happens if there's a tie, which I think is a real possibility. Still the antiquated 18 hole Monday playoff?

No. 2 hole aggregate put in play this year

no, they got rid of it to appease simpletons 

[Kaysquare]

Well, I was actually rooting for Patrick Reed at the beginning of today's coverage (unusual for me).  After his back nine melt-down, I've switched to the Kid, Wolf.  But I have a feeling Sunday might bring someone else to the forefront (English, McIlroy, etc).  What a finish today!  Sorry, I just have a hard time rooting for Bryson.

Two of the younger crowd that I like.  Matt and Bryson.   Some people do not like Bryson mad scientist but he is different and stands out from the other guys.  He and Wolff are playing very well on a course that is really punishing great players.

Ant Man vs Wolf

   Gotta go with Ant man tho would love to see Louie or Zach pass them by

No one else can raise their swing speed without a massive increase in dispersion except DeChambeau. His swing is unique and impressive, might be the future of golf.

Wolff's too. You never know maybe there's something to his move others will try to copy. Probably the two most unique swings on tour right now ....hmmmm

[m d g]

Club head speed is officially a thing...along with being a great putter.

 

Wolff can barely hit a fairway in regulation and shoots 65. BDC in deep rough on 17 and knocks it to a few feet for birdie.

 

If you're a young kid and aren't flying it 300+ in high school you will be at a serious disadvantage if you ever want to be a pro.

 

Not sure what courses like Winged Foot can do other than deeper bunkers and more/taller trees.

 

I'm not part of the 'BDC is a genius' camp, but he's figured something out (he was always a very good player). Wolff just happens to be long without the bulk, but both are fast and long.

[sloansav62]

Played West Course couple weeks ago and just stunned how well these guys are playing. Camera does rough and greens no justice. And with cool dry conditions lately it’s insane how fast those greens could be.
