They can soften it up over night with water. And not mow anything between now and then.

No cancellation. Easier pin positions tomorrow. Tons of water. Slow it down a bit. I agree with others who said Johnson just being a drama queen though. It's playing brutally tough. It's supposed to be tough.

I disagree. When a guy like Zach Johnson says that on camera, it's really bad.
Like was posted above (by you I believe), when great shots aren't being rewarded..it's gone

Course is basically a crapshoot right now. Skill matters a lot less out there this afternoon. For reference, the morning tee times played about 4 over par. The afternoon is playing 6 over and only getting worse.

He's one of the biggest drama queens out there. Course conditions changed drastically. It happens. It's amplified because of the venue. I love watching these guys hanging on for dear life.
Was that Fleetwood who just hit it and threw his arms up like "run for your lives, spectators"?

That’s the problem...while they all play the same course, you don’t want timing or luck to be the deciding factor.

It's always the worst 5% that stick out.

I get that. I don't want it to be the John Deere classic with half the field at 25 under. But this....meh

Sometimes it's unavoidable, like in Scotland when it goes from sunny to a 40 mph wind in the middle of the round.
That's not what happened here though. They overestimated how close/dry they could have the course at the start of the day.

Koepka accepts the bogey and makes par.

I don't get this at all. This happens once a year in this tournament. You like watching the same thing every week?

DJ's righted the ship. Hard to do in the middle of a round -- seems like it usually gets away from them when they start like that.

Four world-class players at the top of the leaderboard. This is setting up for some serious drama tomorrow. The Masters was a letdown. The Players was a runaway. Been awhile since we've had an exciting Sunday at a major. Anything can happen out there! This is great.

no, they'll play on Sunday. they USGA will likely water the greens and not shave them quite so close as today.
but you have to remember: the USGA likes their Open courses hard has hell. they love winners above par. and as a "golf guy" i like seeing pros struggle a bit (ok, a lot). birdie-fests posing as Major Championships are kinda dull.

Is this like a defensive heavy football game?

I've seen like 2 birdies in 3 hours and I don't like seeing the best players in the world shoot 76. nobody can shoot even par today from the later tee times. this is a joke today. maybe tomorrow will be better and sure, its a good leaderboard and close, but today is not good.

How many thousands of people are out there? And it’s maybe 5/hole that are embarrassments. So less than 100. Honestly I think part of it is Fox’s weird audio. Picking up the drunks more than at most tourneys. Just a guess.

Just messing. 1st time doing this and it was mobbed. Drinks were definitely flowing all day and the group in front of me heading into the course definitely pre-gamed heavy before entering.

It looks like the crowds are very thin. Grandstands seem fairly full but galleries are empty.

Yeah... the last 10 players were +67 today. Jokesville.
Let's just give the spectators shotguns and let them take aim at the ball once it's in the air.

Nice to hear the USGA owning it on the broadcast here. Surprising.
ETA: Azinger is such a suck up.

Just seeing Phil's "shot" - haven't even read the thread but they should DQ him for that IMO. That's a joke - what if his shot went in the hole?

Yeah Mike Davis owned it about as gracefully as he could I think.
CN: thought the setup was great this morning, but did not account for/expect what the wind did in the PM. Admitted they had about 3 pins that were in bad spots, and where great golf shots were not only not rewarded, but were penalized. Said tomorrow will definitely be better.
Obviously the afternoon guys won't find much solace in this, but at least he didn't pretend this was the USGA expected outcome for today.
