Also, I played Pebble 25 years ago. Probably the worst round of my life. But my $/shot at Pebble was better than most. So victory?

Robot Koepka = Robot Tiger in the 2000's.  A few Perkins skanks will loosen him up - eventually.

The forecast (50s-60s, dry, cloudy and relatively limited wind) should enable the USGA to control the course how they want without fucking it up.  Should

 

What could be better than a U.S. Open at Pebble Beach?  Other than a U.S. Open at Pebble Beach without Joe Buck as the lead broadcaster that is.

To be fair, I don't think Spieth, Finau, or Rahm have a good chance to win. 

May be right.... but Rahm off to a good start tied for the lead at -3 thru 6 holes.

Yeah, I'll believe when I see him there on Sunday.

Have to agree.... Buck is annoying calling golf. 😡

It also normally doesn't bother me when the USGA takes a par 72 course and turns into a par 70 course for the U.S. Open but Pebble is different.  Turning Pebble into a par 71 course is like turning Augusta National or St. Andrews into a par 71 course.  It shouldn't ever happen.

Sure is strange seeing Steve Williams as Jason Day's caddie...

#2 is an easy hole. It's scoring avg. during the AT&T was 4.54. Might be the weakest hole on the course. Hell, I wish they they would've changed #6 to a par 4.

I'd rather hear only Joe buck than azinger for 2 seconds.

I'd rather Fox be banned from covering anything golf related. They can stick to shitty soccer coverage. 

Golf media was fellating Fox for their women's open coverage

It happens at almost every PGA tour stop during the season. But I agree, if it ever happened at Augusta, I might have to quit watching golf forever. 

Our obsession with par is strange, but it's real. Does it really matter what the "par" of a course is? Lowest number of strokes wins either way.

Never bet against Bryson on Major Thursday

His game fits Pebble really well. I expect(ed) him to contend.

The players complaining is warranted in this case. The USGA has made a mockery of some of the greatest courses in the country. You are ok with Brooks calling out the players, but not ok with the players calling out the USGA. It may come across as whining, but I don't enjoy watching the US Open nearly as much as the other majors. That's squarely on the USGA. Narrow fairways, penalizing rough, tough hard fast (but fair) greens. Success.

Instead they decided to change that strategy and turn it into a putt-putt championship. All that they have been missing was a windmill to hit it through.

It is less a test of golfing ability, strategy, and nerves than it used to be. I'd rather find that out than watch the best in the game lag putt from 10' because they don't want it to roll 20' down the hill.

daniel berger finished first in strokes gained putting in last year's u.s. open and finished 6th.

Joe Buck is terrible. "Well if you're Rory McIlroy 2 shots back these par 5s are some missed opportunities"

It's Thursday at the US Open, Joe. Not everyone is going to shoot a 63. 

Rickie doing his thing before fading on the weekend and finishing 39th

building on this, i went back and looked at the strokes gained by category at shinnecock.

Screen_Shot_2018_06_18_at_10.50.43_AM.pn

the average rank of sg for the top 15 is drive: 29, approach: 17. short: 25, and putt: 17.

however, for the top 5, approach was 12 and putt was 14 and brooks playing so much better on approach than fleet and dj is why he won.  that is striking the ball with irons...not a putt-putt competition.  they're just whiny fucking bitches who grew up on fucking country clubs and can't handle the least bit of adversity. 

but worry not, we already have 30 players sitting under par so the whining worked and the usga went soft.

They should dust off Gus Johnson imo. 

PHIL MICKELSON. FROM 5 FEET. THIS ONE FOR PAR. IT'S GOING! IT'S IN THE HOOOOOLE! CAN YOU BELEIVE IT? LEFTY. ALL. THE. WAY. 

you left out "COLD BLOODED!"

Gus would be awesome, but he might wake me up if I fall asleep.

Hell Klatt is there..... why not Gus Johnson?  Imagine Gus calling a huge Tiger birdie...

Gus Johnson needs to be brought in to make the final call. Everything else is a bearing and I turn off the sound.

Didn’t know Day had Steve Williams on the bag. Interesting. 

Rory dialed in. Tempo is perfect.

If the conditions stay similar to today, it's hard not to think Rory wins this thing. 

Rickie with a sweet 5 under.

interesting seeing Joel Klatt doing post-round interviews.  is Holly Sonders there?

It's 3:15 and Tiger and Spieth and several other big names haven't teed off yet.  this is awesome.

It’s like he wants people to hate him. And it works. I hate him.

I have it on mute.  I'm at the office and had the volume up just barely enough to be able to hear it on my computer.  That lasted about 10 minutes.  I got tired of slapping my own forehead with my palm.  I was afraid I was going to start using a stapler or something like that and hurting myself.  Could not take it anymore.

Death, taxes, people bitching about FOX covering the US Open







So tired

You're right. Can't wait until Lifetime starts covering Texas football and HSN gets the World Series. 

Does Fox cover any other relevant golfing event during the entire year? No. In turn, their US Open coverage is really shitty.
