U.S. OPEN

[Blue63Madison]

Scheffler going backwards. That’s surprising.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Willy Z is making some damn shots to get close to the lead.

Might have a share here in a couple minutes.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Shaping up to be a great finish.

 

[Blue63Madison]

That putt by Fitz … yikes.

Shaping up to be a great finish.

Loving this final bunch. No whiners allowed.

 

[cawoodsct]

Course ended up being great.

That was a fun USOPEN and terrific last day

Agree!

Two of my six missed the cut, no biggie. Almost helped they didn’t stick around and shoot 13-over on the weekend. 15th place out of 3,571.

 

[UK 82]

Two huge putts on 13 (48-feet) and 15 (19-feet). That's how it's done.

 

[UKWoodford]

Great winner. Seems like a good kid with a good personality. Feel bad for Zalatoris.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

$3.15 million to the winner.

I've won my work Masters Draft and PGA Draft this year, so going for the 3rd Leg of the Slam.

I picked 2nd of 6, no serpentine draft this morning:

1- Rory
2- Sam Burns
3- Shane Lowry
4- Matthew Fitzpatrick
5- Gary Woodland

3rd Leg won. I'll be talking a lot of **** at work the next month leading up to The Open.

You just named 3 guys who care about protecting the history of the game than anyone, and add Rory to that mix.

Entitled? Are they not in the gym and on the range for countless hours trying to get better or do they just show up and expect to find every fairway and green?

You're really struggling in this thread....take a break.

He seems to struggle in all of them that he participates in. UL fan maybe?

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Winners share increased $900,000 from last year. Liv forcing the PGA to up their winnings?

Got on Fitz at 25/1 when I was at Wynn last month. Will be a nice collection when I go back next month.

Nice course, but pales in comparison to other PGA/USGA major venues....Torrey, Pebble, BP Black, PH #2.....those all have identity and character. It seemed many of the holes on TCC were a wash, rinse, repeat....long, rough, bunkered, and rough around the greens. Every hole (save for the short par 3 and 4)...same script. It made for a hard and fair test but nothing about the course stood out.

Speaking of courses....the USGA has essentially went to a predominantly 3 course rotation, except for the spot changes.

2023: THE LOS ANGELES COUNTRY CLUB (NORTH COURSE) - LOS ANGELES, CALIF.

2024, 2029, 2035, 2041, 2047: PINEHURST RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB (COURSE NO. 2) - VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, N.C.

2025, 2033, 2042, 2049: OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB - OAKMONT, PA.

2026: SHINNECOCK HILLS GOLF CLUB - SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.

2027, 2032, 2037, 2044: PEBBLE BEACH GOLF LINKS - PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF.

2030: MERION GOLF CLUB - ARDMORE, PA.

2034, 2051: OAKLAND HILLS COUNTRY CLUB (SOUTH COURSE), BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH.

PGA stole Olympic Club. And Congressional. Would like to see Chambers Bay again.

May force them to pay salaries or they will lose lots more. They won't pay salaries, so they'll lose lots more. Ricky Fowler awfully quiet.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

27 years out and the USGA has picked a course for the US Open? Damn.

 

[UKWoodford]

Many in this exact thread agree with me, so you are just trying to agitate and aren't even being truthful. Poor guy. Desperation is pathetic.

Thought the 11th (100 yard par 3) and the 4th (IIRC, that was the short 300 yd par 4?) were very cool, I bet if they had to do it over again, a hell of a lot of pros would hit 7 iron off the tee on the par 4 and then try to wedge it close. No 10 at Riviera always gives the pros fits, just a really really tricky hole.
