Spieth starts off the day with a missed 3-footer. 

What happened to his putter?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I don't like Joe Buck 

:(

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Looks pretty windy.

Spieth +5 thru 5

 

[Peyton Marino]

The legendary Dave Portnoy shot 4 under from the championship tees here a couple weeks ago. The pros should be just fine breaking par if he can do it.

USGA setup is a completely different animal. This event will be a grind

 

[Cowboysfan8]

KUUUUUUUUUUUCH

 

[Grahamburn]

Any good streams for this?  The one on the US Open website is garbage.

Mine keeps going back to the "The US Open coverage will continue in a bit........"

FS1 is the best way to stream now that TV coverage has begun.

 

[ydoc]

this is brutal....spieth, phil and rory group is like +15...

 

[gump]

What happened to his putter?

Nothing new inside 10 feet...now he's just not making long ones to make up for it.  He was SO great for a period, that it was never sustainable.

I watched a shot of the grandstands for two minutes while the other boxes "loaded."  Never saw one golf shot. 

What are we calling the "native grasses" this year?  That stuff was dancing in the wind big time.  Blowing like it's from Key West out there.

@brianwacker1: With a crosswind and playing 520 yards up the hill, 14 will produce carnage. Of the 42 scores posted so far already 18 are bogey or worse. Hole is playing to a 4.5+ average and not yet 11 am!

 

[fightingillini]

What a trainwreck.  Going to be so great to watch.  I love watching the best players struggle.

But I do prefer the winner of the US Open to be about 4-7 under par.  The way the course is playing, that's going to be a tall order.

 

[mphtrilogy]

FS1 has a pretty good app and stream so far.  US Open app kept getting slowed up.  Dealing with Joe Buck, oh well.

Course looks great so far, went there in 94 and was standing behind Corey Pavin's when he launched his 4 wood on 18.. I love this course.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Some of these green, holy cow. I was in bed (west coast) watching a bit ago and Kuch just ripped at a 20' put. It took off like it was going to leave the green airborne. Short.

Anyway, this is fun and as well as Tiger did at the Honda, I think this may work out okay for him.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I pay for a streaming service (8 hd channels covering this atm) but the two top ones here seem to be working fine.

 

[gump]

The rough extensions added recently (per Ray Floyd) look completely pretty natural.

 

[Mookie]

Amazing what a little wind can do.  Exactly what the USGA wanted and a shame they didn't get any at Erin Hills last year.  McIlroy, Day, Speith, Phil, Bubba all struggling.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Phil hits a long iron. "No! Break! Oh man, darn it! Oh? Hey, nice. That works." 

 

[Peyton Marino]

Portnoy should have qualified, smh

 

[Quint]

the one Major where i took Day in the pool, and overweight on him for DFS. 

he's soon closing in on "never again" status.

Exactly what the Players missed dearly.

 

[JaxBill]

Higher score today - Russia or Tiger to par?

 

[IMAX 3D]

Fowler is awful

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Rory - 80

Phil - 77

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Fowler is awful

I think he's only 4 back

Big opp here for Tiger...he's hitting his irons well, and no one is making putts.

Laying 4, still not on the green

 

[encaitar]

Oof Tiger....  ouch.

 

[wikkidpissah]

HATE turtleback greens and, if Pinehurst is MyFirstZit in that respect, Shinnecock is DannyTrejoPrisonAcne

 

[Peyton Marino]

Laying 4, still not on the green

He lost the fear factor

 

[Phil Elliott]

He lost the fear factor

Looks like it found him.

 

[fightingillini]

Despite that crappy start, Tiger is only 5 out of the lead.  Usually when you start triple bogey-bogey, you're toast.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

How old is Henley - 14?

 

[gump]

DJ is going to be really tough to beat.

If I had that many people looking for my ball every time I hit it in the crap I'd be a scratch golfer.

Don't forget about the grandstands lining greens.

 

[Grahamburn]

Don't forget about the grandstands lining greens.

And all the innocent bystanders lining the fairways.  It's like bowling with bumpers.

He even had Tiger on his hands and knees searching for it.

 

[bro1ncos]

Is it really that much fun to scream something after a tee shot? Do you DVR the round and then play it back listening for your bellow? 

 

[Stinkin Ref]

The run off on the back of all these greens is absolutely crazy.....we now have false fronts and false backs....these guys are having to hit a postage stamp to keep it on the green....saw one shot that damn near went in on the fly with a short iron, checked, and then still fed all the way back and down a huge lope...think it was Sergio...and I hate Sergio..

 

[Grahamburn]

The one thing I didn't miss about Tiger being away from the game was actually seeing other players besides him hit shots.

Henley just hit a sweet ### shot....no wait....it missed by a 6 inches or so and now its down the slope on the back....kinda crazy in my mind....got to give it to the guys that were able to maybe run it up and keep it on....anything that hits the green in the air on some of these shots has no chance....”fringe” must now be a no no for some freakin reason.....what used to be the fringe is like cut shorter then the greens...

 

[Chaos Commish]

I would love to shoot 18 there today and film all 150 shots.

Dude completely changed the game and made it cool...gonna see every shot of every tournament he is in....nothing new...

Original design was smaller greens...Crenshaw and the other guy who renovated the course a few years ago enlarged the greens, but accentuated the run offs.
