So in fact all these holes are truly par 3's and anything over 216 is over par.
The U.S. Open

It was awful and there really wasn't one memorable thing from this tourney/course that will stick w/ the fans.
Sorry your boy is 1 step away from being a Somerset meth head. Hope he gets help and can run a driving range somewhere one day.
My wallet is $125 fuller this morning thanks to the US open and my fantasy golf league! 28 guys and not one person picked Brooks Koepka to win.
I had Matsuyama and Thomas. Next couple rounds will be on those guys.

I don't think that's true. Rickie, Spieth, Rory, Koepka, DJ, etc. don't seem like pricks at all.
Koepka was really impressive yesterday. All that pressure and played almost flawlessly.
Overall, I liked the course. Mother Nature was in a really good mood and wanted to see some low scores. Add more wind and no rain and its a totally different tournament. That said, it was Koepka's title either way. Clearly was the best player for 4 days.

Wrong!! Chambers Bay was the worst. If you think Erin was too easy, you go play it at 7800 yards and then tell us how easy it is.
Players can shortcut holes vs. listed distance. Par 3 = 54 x 4 rounds = 216.
When the pros are under 5 under, it's easy for them. It was basically a longest drive contest. without narrower fairways or hazards like trees, water or lots of bunkers, it's easy for them. Narrow those uber-wide fairways 10 yards & it would add 1-2 strokes/rd.
So Brooks is longer than Dustin Johnson, Roy, Rahm, Day? All those missed the cut. Maybe the course didn't favor big hitters?
I put a $10 bet on Keopka to win while in Vegas for the UNC game back in December. Nice little $410 payout.
Good article on Koepka here:

BK is a big hitter. But you do need to be able to hit a 50 yard wide fairway & putt a bit too. Too much to ask of those fellas.
Who cares? He's still a loser.
You probably like him just because he's Asian.
A lot less than yours, if he had one.
Secondarily, actually.
