Just curious, is the reason you think it’s a lousy venue, because do you prefer the course just destroys all the players at a US Open? A traditional brute of a course that yields lots of doubles and triples?

I don’t mind scoring being what it is. These guys are good! The problem is, the course looks like it does in January with more rough. The cliffs aren’t ever really in play without a terrible shot. The bunkers aren’t much of a hazard, either. The pond on 18 is artificial in just about every way. I know they want more west coast venues and LACC could be the answer but I think Torrey is pretty ordinary

All very good points.

It’s unbelievable. I don’t think it’s good enough but if I were Harris English, I’d hang around for awhile

It's a boring ass golf course that is reveled because of it's owners. We're watching a Farmers, not a US Open.

I missed it....what happened?

What was that by Rahm from the bunker?

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #58 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:34:32 PM »

Rahm got stones.

MU82 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:35:32 PM »

Effen clutch by Rahm!!

Let’s see what L’il Looie can do.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #60 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:35:41 PM »

Wow.....money putt there.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #61 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:41:07 PM »

Is De Charcuterie the one who choked??

MuggsyB · « **Reply #62 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:46:06 PM »

+8 on the back 9 for De Charcuterie?, Are my eyes accurate?

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:51:23 PM »

Huge putt by Louis to keep it interesting.

Uncle Rico · « **Reply #64 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:55:45 PM »

Rahm went out and took this tournament by the throat. Everyone else vomited all
over themselves but Rahm won this. Both things are true about this US Open

Can he play that ball on 17?

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #66 on:** June 20, 2021, 07:03:11 PM »

And Louis is done

MuggsyB · « **Reply #67 on:** June 20, 2021, 07:03:34 PM »

That hurt. Props to Rahm.

Yessir, Unk. Great finish by Rahm, and I’m happy for him. Choke-A-Thon by others.

All Looie had to do was drive it on the fairway on 17, which he had done all day, and he’d have had a great chance.

I have to admit that I enjoyed BC’s meltdown, too. The one shot he hit sideways reminded me so much of something I’d have done!

Hole 9 begs to differ. Rahm was on tilt, blasts one so far OB it’s off property. Gets a free drop, birdies and is suddenly alive.

Torrey Pines is a terrible US Open venue

This is very true. If they hired a real architect it could be cool - but it's boring AF. Such a ho hum round. The only exciting things were JR's 2 birdies on the 71st and 72nd.

As was mentioned, hoping LACC finally gives the USGA their great West Coast venue. I really hope they give Erin Hills another shot. I am sure if they were out there this year with the drought we've had it has to be playing firm AF. Get that ball a rolling!!!!!

Rahm did a great job when it counted . It is also nice to see him when after the unfortunate disqualification incident at The Memorial .

Now that Rahm has his future major win under the belt , he may have a few more coming .

Guido Migliozzi rules.

Have seen this many times in PGA tournaments, big and small. It's one of the many advantages the pros have over the rest of us schlubs, right along with a gallery that helps them find their golf balls.

The fact that Rahm settled down and took advantage of this break said a lot about his frame of mind. The way he played 17 and 18 was masterful, capped by incredible putts on each.

A deserving U.S. Open champion, and a guy who will win more majors.
