2018 US Open - Shinnecock! (1 Viewer)

[culdeus]

Solid putting display by tiger. 

 

[JaxBill]

Not only was that 4 putt tough to watch. Justin Thomas might be slightly miffed at manner in which he finished out last 2 putts.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

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.

The last five words may be a huge understatement 

 

[Stinkin Ref]

Omg Sergio on 14...nuts it...way sort of pin and it rolls way off the back...

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah woods is done. Official

 

[JaxBill]

Tiger has 2 doubles and a triple. Or John Daly warming up for Happy Hour.

 

[Lutherman2112]

Yeah woods is done. Official

I am firmly in the Tiger Is Done Camp, but this course is brutal. No way I'm using this tourney as a barometer unless you want to talk about who is playing great golf at this particular time.

He's better than Day and Rory today.

Fox's audio is awful.  Ambient crowd and party noise through Buck and Zinger's mics.  Broken mic when interviewing Henley.  I don't mind Buck, but they gotta do better with this other stuff.

 

[Lutherman2112]

Are the cups mic'd at each hole or is just a digital sound added?

 

[facook]

I THINK they are mic'd which is why you can hear the player's responses like Tiger's right there. 

 

[facook]

My god I'm glad I don't live in the NE.  These LonGUYland fans are my worst nightmare of the worst of that area.

 

[ydoc]

Higher score today - Russia or Tiger to par?

tiger...lol

 

[ydoc]

Fowler is awful

huh...

 

[facook]

Fowler is awful

huh...

This is his shtick.  Feel free to ignore.

 

[encaitar]

I've missed this US Open style lately.  I break 80 pretty regularly in my golf game, but watching the pros hit this course, there's less than a 40% chance I break 100 on that course as it was set up today.

It was crazy seeing the run off on the greens a day after they had a ridiculous amount of rain.  I think the cut line is gonna be 7 or 8 over tomorrow even if the wind dies a bit overnight.  DJ has it going though.  I think 3 or 4 under wins it.

 

[gump]

I love that Raymond Floyd, who won here at -1, demanded the course be harder after watching Koepka breeze thru Erin Hills. Well done...

 

[Judge Smails]

I hate everything about Fox doing golf. 

 

[Phil Elliott]

He's better than Day and Rory today. 

“I ain’t as good as I once was...but I am good once as I ever was!” 

 

[Peyton Marino]

I’m officially out on Rory. Still one of the better players on tour, certainly among the most talented, but after watching him yesterday it’s clear that he just doesn’t have what it takes to adapt his game to compete at a tough track. He’ll still get his wins, maybe even a Masters or the PGA, but don’t see him winning another Open unless it’s an outlier course. Simply doesn’t have the fear factor.

also, page 2 bump

 

[gump]

We may be in for a boring weekend.

 

[zoonation]

We may be in for a boring weekend.

Yep.  DJ on another level right now.  Rose might be able to stay within range.   

 

[James Daulton]

And we all know the best part about a DJ win and walk to sign his scorecard.

 

[Capella]

What were Tiger’s odds going into this? Wasn’t he one of the 8 betting favorites? 

Books are making a killing off idiots betting this guy. 

 

[fightingillini]

We may be in for a boring weekend.

Yep.  When DJ is putting well, given how he murders it off the tee, he's pretty tough to beat.

But all it takes is one 74 or so to let a lot more guys back in it.  But if DJ keeps this up, he's winning by 6 or more.

 

[IMAX 3D]

Congrats Dustin Johnson backers

 

[Peyton Marino]

lots of tourney left.  this will be a fun weekend.

 

[wikkidpissah]

should have checked out the futbol - watching this rolloff festival is wearing me out

 

[culdeus]

Good leaderboard but tough to watch these guys grind. Not enjoyable really at all.

Man poulter just shot himself in both feet. Ouch

That was painful to watch.  But I'll give him credit, he owned it in the post-round interview.

 

[gump]

Surprised Spieth blew it, but it’s all on the putter.

Maybe I'm old but Muppet position?

 

[facook]

Maybe I'm old but Muppet position?

I just picture the 2 old dudes in the balcony.  That is about as intimate as the old lady and I get these days.

 

[gump]

Dustin Johnson (-150)
Field - Any Other Golfer (+110)

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Aren’t their names Waldorf and Stadler? 

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

If DJ goes over par on Saturday, this tourney is back on.  It's not like he's -10 right now.  There aren't a lot of guys playing well but I expect a few to be very much in the hunt on Sunday.

Of course if DJ goes 3 or 4 under tomorrow, it will be over.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Course playing easier today. Should firm up over the day, and as wind picks up the afternoon should play harder. Think we see at least one early guy go low and play themselves into the hunt.

 

[Epic Problem]

 at Phil

 

[Joe Mammy]

Poor Phil, heading for the shrink couch.

 

[ZenMaster]

 at Phil

Yeah, WTF was that?

 

[TheWalkmen]

Oh FIGJAM what have you done. Then Buck, like an idiot, thinks he’s leaving the course 

 

[mr roboto]

Yeah, WTF was that?

That’s something I would do. 

‘#### it. Give me a 10.’

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Been watching on and off. Phil has to be DQ'd, doesn't he?

 

[GOB]

Yo @ArbyMelt are you playing alongside Phil?

Can you give us some insight?

 

[heckmanm]

Been watching on and off. Phil has to be DQ'd, doesn't he?

Officially 2 strokes but sounds like DQ could be in play for “conduct unbecoming “

 

[mr roboto]

I hope he #####es about the pins post-round and some reporter point out dudes are in the 60s. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Ah..thanks

 

[Epic Problem]

So now that he’s mastered ruining a golf broadcast, what sport is next for Joe Buck?
