122nd US Open - June 16-19

[Dr John Carlson]

Looking like a classic stinky Rory round. Difficult to watch. Getting outdone by Pat Rodgers is an indictment.

 

[GKJ]

Morikawa?

 

[Our Lady Peace]

For all the crap Zalatoris has gotten for his putting this year (which appears to have notably improved), he sure can hang at the top of majors leaderboards. Everyone else favoured over him is stinking it up.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

The broadcast doesn't seem to care or notice that Fitzpatrick, who for years was too short to hack it on big boy courses, has driven it 350 off the tee the past few holes and is top 10 in driving distance this week. Their reaction to him cutting the corner on 17 was 'whatever'. Tough.

Oh, they just called it out!

Are you watching NBC or CBS?

NBC is doing the broadcast.

Man. Rahm is lucky that this 18th hole is taking place on Saturday and not Sunday.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I’m going with Burns to take this, but if it’s a first timer on the PGA Tour, I think Fitzpatrick is more likely than Zalatoris. If someone posts a low score early on though, it could hold up. I doubt more than 2-3 are under par by the end of the day.

If Rory was where he was after shooting his best round of the tournament, I would pick him, but he looked lost on the greens. Would be easy to pick Rahm, and I really like him. Great interview and is probably the favorite. I am going to say Bradley takes it.

...Rory birdies 1

 

[GKJ]

Keegan headed for 80

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Course playing much easier, and suddenly the Denny McCarthys and the Nick Hardys of the golf world are suddenly creeping back into it. Really sad and disgraceful.

Eh, at this moment in time 7 out of the top 10 players here are ranked 18th or higher in OWGR. They're bound to have a couple randos ranked near the top in this tourney. I would fault the best players for not taking full advantage of easier conditions.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Looking like it won't be the case, but I hope we don't end up with a clubhouse winner. Those are worst ends to majors.

 

[GKJ]

Got a hard time seeing the winner being someone other than Fitzpatrick, Scheffler, or Zalatoris

 

[GKJ]

Zalatoris 4 back 6 holes ago, now he’s up 2

 

[PanthersPens62]

And just like that Willie Z has a 2 shot lead! Can he hold up under the pressure on the remaining 7 holes?

 

[GKJ]

It feels like no one can put more than one shot together

 

[GKJ]

Fitzpatrick now up by 2

 

[spintheblackcircle]

pretty good stuff

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Zalatoris was careless with his last putt and it almost rimmed out.

 

[GKJ]

Oh man, Fitzpatrick doing the only thing he couldn’t.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

oh wow, all Fitzpatrick had to do was hit the fairway

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Playoff looks very possible right now with Fitz in the bad bunker and Will in the birdie zone!
