June 4, 20187 yr The U.S. Open is still my favorite pro event. Yeah I'm looking at you, Bobby Jones, and those guys who play in 100 mph winds and rain across the pond.
June 4, 20187 yr Early weather forecast for Southampton next week looks nice: 60s and 70s. Course should be in great shape.
June 7, 20187 yr Author USGA released tee times/pairings for the first 2 rounds http://www.usopen.com/tee-times.html Feature groups (Thursday tee-time) 8:02 (10) Rory, Jordan, Phil 1:14 (1) Sergio, Rahm Cabrera Bello (all Spaniard pairing) 1:36 (10) Ernie, Stricker, Furyk (old dude pairing) 1:47 (1) JT, DJ, Tiger And I'm now taking suggestions for what to include in the Surly guessing contest
June 11, 20187 yr Fuck yes! So pumped for this week, great featured groups, great course and Sunday is expected to be rainy here. So perfect couch and golf watching weather!
June 11, 20187 yr DJ hitting on all cylinders going into this week. He's got to be the odds on favorite, no?
June 12, 20187 yr Course looks immaculate on the Golf Channel’s Live from the U.S. Open. And Phil is already bitching about whether the course will be fair.
June 12, 20187 yr Course looks immaculate on the Golf Channel’s Live from the U.S. Open. And Phil is already bitching about whether the course will be fair. Given the history of what happened at the par-3 7th hole, Phil has a valid argument. I think the USGA won’t let that happen again but let’s see how it plays out. I was at the 1995 Open at Shinnecock. We went every day but Sunday.
June 12, 20187 yr Jesus...no way you’re getting out of that shit if you miss the fairway Yep. Tiger played as an amateur in ‘95 and had to withdraw during the tournament due to a wrist injury. It’s pretty brutal.
June 12, 20187 yr The one with Buck made me like the dude.Not me. He still seems like a condescending douche.
June 12, 20187 yr He sure does but he owns it and pretty much says "we made mistakes, people don't like me but I do work hard and screw the haters", I respect it.
June 12, 20187 yr Tiger playing the front 9 this morning with DJ and DeChambeau. Then Tiger does his press conference.

I was reading something today and learned about what happened to Phil on 18 last time. He never mentioned it but he had a big rock right behind his ball in the bunker. Fred Funk was in his group and said it was obvious from the sound that he hit the equivalent of a knuckleball and took a 6 or 7 to lose. All Phil said about it was he shouldn't have hit in the bunker.

The overhead camera shot of Pavin on 18 was just amazing. A few oddities from 1995 - Pavin only won one more PGA tournament after. I would have put him down for at least 5-10 more. Also he won with one a sets of irons - Cleveland VAS- that would not win any design contests but obviously worked for Pavin.

Local rule will allow to remove the rock:@usopengolf:A Local Rule at Shinnecock Hills is being used during the 118th #USOpen, allowing small stones in bunkers to be played as movable obstructions.
June 13, 20187 yr All Longhorn group.....Vegas, Fritelli, and GhimJust came to see if this was posted.Hook em
June 13, 20187 yr Interesting topic on Golf Channel last night on the 7th in 2004. The previous USGA official (before Davis) was still defending the crap they rolled out. There was also one USGA offical who claimed without any supporting evidence that a "rogue" greenskeeper had rolled the green late the night before. They also claimed it was watered between groups and Phil has said it was only watered if the group had a double bogey or worse. Also they pointed out that several players had putted of the green on saturday
June 13, 20187 yr If you don't want to click through each hole, here are the youtube videos in front and back nine compilations.

June 14, 20187 yr Jordan off to a terrible start. +4 after 2 holes. Made a triple on the shortest hole on the course the par-3 11th which can be really tough especially if you miss the green. Lee Trevino called it the shortest par-5 in golf.
June 14, 20187 yr Don't see it mentioned yet, but Spieth, McIlroy, and Mickelson are featured group on the US Open watch live app. Great coverage.

June 14, 20187 yr Not a big fan of Chris Berman but always laugh when I think of his nickname of Aaron “dresses” Baddeley
June 14, 20187 yr And Jordan misses it of course, got damnit And Rory doubles it and Phil with the bogey to 3 over. Rory doubled it from 86 yards in middle of fairway

June 14, 20187 yr Author 25 minutes ago, Constant said: +14 thru 5 as a group. Woof. Maybe they are trying to play themselves into an invite to the Herp-A-Derp One Club Open
June 14, 20187 yr None of that is bad, settle down and the leaders wont be too far ahead at the end of the day 6 guys under par so far, leader is -2
