US Open 2024 (*** NO POLITICS ***)

[MaineMariner]

Curious as to whether that's how Zalatoris meant to play that shot or if he just thinned the crap out of it.

I don't think so. Feature group replay looked like the clubface snapped shut at impact, like it caught that tuft of grass left of the ball and just closed.

Think he was just happy to make contact. 👍

USA Network struggling right now. Dead air space, commentators not knowing they're on live mic, etc. 

 

When you have it on mute it's all dead air space.  aahhhhh.

ESPN had a nice column on Bryson today---i feel like he's having a bit of a face turn , as they would say in WWE. I do find him fun to watch---would be nice if he did well

[SnowbirdTom]

Starting to think TW might be competitive this weekend. Dropping the must makes and staying composed. I like what I’ve seen so far.

He seems like he's the only guy who is actually happy with making the move to LIV and he's expanded his social media presence a lot and connecting with a lot of the youtube guys who are real popular. He's gone from full ****** to bro golf ****** really well.

I'm generally against the bro-ey Youtube stuff also. But i gotta say some of his videos are pretty fun. And he comes across well

 

I thought the videos of him smashing long drives into a wall and having guys yell "OOOOOOHHHHHHH" was a bit tedious

 

But his videos of just him playing golf are fun to watch

I like his goofy videos. The one with Rick Shiels where he plays with illegal clubs was a fun watch. There was another one where he used an off the rack Walmart set. Both fun to watch.

Couldn't agree more.

 

Not going to let the announcers or the coverage or anything else ruin it as well...

Frederik Kjettrup seems to have some secret sauce...

Enjoying a bit of vintage Tiger, even if it is only for 9 holes or so.

Instead of a ball rollback, how about a commercial rollback? Good god, I’ve been watching on USA and it seems like 70/30 ratio of commercials to golf.

This is gonna be a good US open. It has all the right ingredients for a good US open. If it's not, I'm going to be crazy surprised and crazy disappointed, because then I literally don't even know what the right ingredients are for a good US Open in 2024. 

 

Players that plays as expected this week -- Scottie and Xander. Dude is just too good and he hits it in all the right spots. Pinehurst makes you hit it in all the right spots. Ditto for Xander, I think they're both around late in the day Sunday. 

 

Players that underachieve-- Bryson and Rory. I just don't see Pinehurst really playing into Bryson's strengths. It's like Augusta with a little hit of cocaine, and the thing that holds Bryson back at it's that he misses it in the spots you can't god damn miss at Augusta. s*** can escalate real quickly at Pinehurst, and I just don't think it suits Bryson's style. 

Rory also does too much stupid s*** with wedges in his hand. I just don't think he figures it out this week at Pinehurst. 

 

Player that overachieves-- I think Bryan Harmon is around come Sunday. Donald Ross is such a tricky bastxxx, and Bryan Harmon is a tricky bastxxx around the greens. 

If Brian Harman does overachieve, will you spell his name correctly? Or were you were referring to one of Butch Harmon's brothers who somehow qualified?

The enshitification never ends.

[Oostiesalbacore]

People should spell Brian Harmen’s name correctly when he can take a shot without five minutes of waggling.

Phil +4 through 4. It's not going to be this year.

Probably browsing this thread in between shots - tough to see how he gets through the day without all the advice...

All our advice is HOW he gets through the day...

lol how do you think they pay these unsustainable purses?

[Oostiesalbacore]

Would somebody please feed Will Zalatoris? Where’s the mashed potatoes guy!?

It hasn’t been much better before they gave the lads bigger purses. I get they want a purse but they don’t have to be Louis Vuitton

I couldn't agree more, I still don't understand how someone who losses the tournament makes over a million dollars. Hell i think even the 3rd loser might make over 7 figures.

What a joke. I’m over here not winning for free

[Oostiesalbacore]

Phil bet his wad on Tiger making the cut. 

[Duct Tape]

So I sign on to Peacock, see commercials, then see Tiger miss a 30’ “birdie” putt and then see pics of the flags of previous winners at Pinehurst including the first of many mentions of Payne Stewart, then go back to commercials. 
 

But the pièce de résistance was the Servepro Mulligan ball. WTF?

 

I’m so confused.

Can't get it right with even 4 of them on the desk.

 

Maybe they can expand it to 10 in a row at the desk and they all vote about the outcome of shots.
