US Open 2019

The players complaining about the conditions of the course are happening early and often.

I personally love it. I enjoy seeing low (high?) scoring majors where a -2 may win you a title.

At a place like Erin Hills, great. However, this isn’t how Pebble is/should be played. It removes all width, angles and alternate strategy.

Another driver, wedge major ahead this week.

I don’t care for the complaining, but the USGA deserves no leeway. They also cut the rough after the complaining at Erin Hills, so players no these videos work.

I am not a big golf guy, but it seems very unimaginative for the USGA to simply grow a lot of rough and cut the greens razor thin to make the course more difficult.  Sure that makes it harder, but is it really better golf?

It’s not.

I wonder-wonder-wonder who 9-9-9 will pick?

Golf Channel has been following Tiger on his practice round today.  He looks very scientific in his approach. I think he will be there with the Trophy at the end. I think Tiger will hit the three wood and  utilize his great irons and short game. Course is par 71 7075 yards according to announcers.

As I posted in the first 2019 US Open golf thread, Phil for the career slam.

Ah. There’s the good stuff.

i put together a stud line up for my draft kings contests this week!  not giving the whole thing away yet, but i think jordie is finding his chit again.  he's driving with confidence and that is setting up his short game.  as long as he puts himself in position for his approach shots, he will be hard to beat.

rickie fowler is disappointed in his game and the fact that he's one of the best to NOT have won a major, he will be in a zone

patrick reed is a pit bull.  he's going to play this one like he does the ryder cup when paired with jordie

speakin of ryder cups, keegan keagan keegan is trying to regain 2012 form

if i gave you my final 2 picks, i'd have to harm you

Based on my observation so far, all the experts are working so hard to pick anybody but Koepka that the two-time defending champion is almost being overlooked.

So I'll go wild and say Koepka.

But I do thank 9-9-9 for his consistency.

[tower912]

BTW, Phil is my heart talking.  My head says BK.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

So why were the players bitching about the course again?

[rocket surgeon]

how many eagles so far in opening round??  did i hear 15?? 

no wind and a soft course from record rain

the open people are probably saying to themselves, what's going wrong here?

[Herman Cain]

Tiger with a solid 70 today. In a very good position .

[tower912]

I really liked Koepka's hat on Thursday.   It got me thinking about how much I would love a MU hat featuring some of the color combinations from the MU uniforms and the jumpman themes.     Last year's white/gray uniform pattern with just a splash of Blue and Gold and a MU logo with the a tiny Jumpman.    Yes, please.

Agreed. Great hat. Also love the Puma stars & stripes hat, sucker for that.

MU hats have been pretty horrific as of late. Still searching for the UA golf hat with the monogram on the side, it's a holy grail.

Well, we can turn this into a rehash of former conversations about how far short MU paraphernalia falls in comparison to other schools.   Part of it, of course, is the big state school vs small private school conundrum.     But, yes, I would love a little more effort put into MU hats, as well as the rest of the swag line.

Let's save it.

If we’re talking about fashion, big fan of Aaron Wise’s outfit today.

Love the oversized sweater while golfing.

In non fashion news, Fox >>>>>> CBS golf coverage.  I mean wow.  They do such a better job

Tiger even after wasting many opportunities. 7 strokes back, maybe more. Herman, what’s his smooth path to victory?

He has to shoot 65 on Saturday .

Enjoyed Patrick Reed's tantrum on 18. Good meltdown.

If Rory could hit full wedge shots, he would be leading this. He should be killing the par 5s.

Yep. I think he's +2 or +3 on the par 5s, should be 3 or 4 under.
