This course is completely fair. You can’t miss a green from 175 and win the US Open.

ETA: DJ lead the field in GIR in ‘16…Miller hit 18 greens in ‘73…etc

How have they not stopped play?

Yeah, but Burns almost had to hit a drive in pouring rain. He slow-played by changing gloves, etc., until they finally blew the horn. He shouldn't have had to do that. That could have been a disaster.

This replay of the '08 Open... How did they play with junky equipment like that? A Sasquatch driver!?

 

[culdeus]

This won't finish today will it

Most of the stuff they played with was rebadged then right? Tiger was playing with a mix of Titleist and Hogan irons in his peak that were badged nike.

And then consider that Johnny Miller shot 63 on this course with what by today’s standards would be considered gardening tools.

 

[belljr]

This sucks. Just bail until tomorrow

Hatton could win this

Hatton could win this

Hell Rahm shouldn’t put his clubs in the car yet

What a putt by Spaun. Really impressed with how he hung in there after 5 bogeys in his first 6 holes.

we used to keep score by 5s, e.g., anything under a 5 & we got a shot at breaking 90

JJ started his day with 5 straight 5s, pretty good for you or I

Great turnaround, nothing but 4s (+ 1 trey) since

 

[Mister CIA]

Now this is a leaderboard.

 

[BobbyLayne]

5-way tie for 1st at +1

We’re not trying to embarrass the worlds best golfers, we’re trying to identify the world’s best golfer

It may be ugly, but this is going to be fun

 

[Zeppelin]

One thing this course will do is show who has mental fortitude.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

It may be ugly, but this is going to be fun

Like watching a late-season NFL game in blizzard conditions.

Is it the way I’d want to watch it played every Sunday? No. But in its own way, it’s what makes the sport great.

Another great putt...sole leader.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

How many divots can Burns land in?

 

[-fish-]

This is the craziest major I've ever watched.

 

[heckmanm]

Rain delay gave me just anbout enough time to mow. Rewound about 15 mins on dvr and just caught up to live. LFG!

 

[encaitar]

Why the F are they being hard asses about relief in the fairway? You're gonna punish a guy for hitting the fairway because it poured for an hour. Way to make it about shot making and not luck.... ********.

 

[bro1ncos]

Really got into Burns' head with that ruling

It sucks for Burns but there has to be visible water. They just followed the rule.

 

[Mister CIA]

Hatton, you mad bro?

 

[heckmanm]

Bobby Mac!

 

[Zeppelin]

MacIntyre is looking pretty good right now.

 

[Zeppelin]

Spaun might be the only one with a chance.

 

[NutterButter]

McIntyre looks like the everyman pro.

 

[Redwes25]

This is crazy. This is how I look out there (on of course much much easier courses and conditions).

 

[NutterButter]

I dont know the last time scotty hit a fairway

 

[BobbyLayne]

WWCD

 

[BobbyLayne]

Spaun might be the only one with a chance.

clutch drive on 17

2 putt & then make a 4

(if he makes the eagle putt its ovah)

 

[BobbyLayne]

everybody in trouble except Spaun

 

[Major]

Hatton should consider some anger management classes

 

[NutterButter]

Hatton and cam young in a pairing would be fun to watch

 

[BobbyLayne]

40 on the front 9

3 birdies 1 bogey on the back 9

good stuff

 

[Instinctive]

Par on 18 locks it up

 

[heckmanm]

40 on the front 9

3 birdies 1 bogey on the back 9

good stuff

Nice comeback from that unlucky bounce off the flagstick

 

[NutterButter]

What's going on with that beard bobby mac?

[BobbyLayne]

every time I see Spaun’s caddy I think of Jeffrey DeMunn (old guy Dale with the bucket hat, early seasons of The Walking Dead)

edit

right?

 

[Mister CIA]

Nice break.

 

[Zeppelin]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[heckmanm]

BOOM

 

[Mister CIA]

Legend!

 

[Cowboysfan8]
