Absolutely is fact.  Just like Rick's terrible Ryder Cup record

I bet Herman has shared a private jet with the guy you work with.

[Uncle Rico]

I've probably run into Herm between the recruiting visits I've been on and the high rollers I deal with.  Small world

[Uncle Rico]

Course is too easy

[Uncle Rico]

43 golfers at even or better.  Roll the ball back

[Herman Cain]

Just saw that they have the event streaming on Peacock

We don't want the unwashed masses on our courses, pal

  i know what rickie's record is, but i believe his game is back. 

  last september he was ranked #185.  he has since climbed back into the top 50=fact

otherwise, never stated anything else as fact so no idea what you are trolling me for

Respect. Long way to go, but you've earned a tip of the bright orange Puma cap

Course is a disgrace.  USGA has gone soft.  Need the rollback ASAP.  Determine the true best golfers

Didn't  know how it would play.  Erred on the side of soft.

Now that they're going to "anchor sites", I'll be curious to see how many "new" venues they choose moving forward.  The only open years between now and 2040 are '31, '36 and '38 with Shinnecock almost certainly getting '36 or '38.

The Chicago area will go 30-35 years between US Opens should they not get one in that period.  I suppose going to Oakland Hills in '34 counts for the Midwest now.

Too many good venues rendered obsolete by equipment and the almighty dollar.  Really hope the USGA doesn't rule out exploring sites to host but I fear they are

Turning their back on the Chicago market is another indication of the quality of PGA leadership. Somebody should take over the PGA.     Oh, wait.

It should theoretically play harder this afternoon and on the weekend based on reports.  Rose was -6 at Pebble after round 1 in '19

Why do supposed Oakland Hills counts for the Midwest? Detroit is absolutely part of the Midwest now and always has been

It's one venue.  Bad phrasing.  Erin Hills in '17.  Another 17 years until the Midwest gets an US Open?  It's bad enough the PGA can't come here anymore.

Detroit is part of Canada, or at least should be.

Disgraceful

The fans like train wrecks in the US Open. LACC is a straightforward course so not a lot of hopes to go significantly backward. The USGA  will have more difficult pin placements .
