Golf: 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club North Course

[Mr Rogers]

Hot damn Rory!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Holy shit Rickie…about to start Birdie, Birdie, Birdie

 

[GKJ]

Winner of the tournament might be -30

The sun is drying out the course and which will make the greens faster

 

[MAHJ71]

Not happening now

Bahhaha yeah. Talk about a buzz kill, and during work no less

 

[red devil]

Homa with back to back doubles, he is now +3 and above the cut line

 

[red devil]

Fowler's through 12 holes and has only made 2 pars so far and is -2 on the round

 

[Mr Rogers]

Rory/Rickie into the weekend at the US Open is pretty fun

 

[GKJ]

81 for Justin Thomas. Not sure what course he was playing.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Damn JT is trash these days

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Back to back doubles to miss the cut for Homa. He was already a pretty big historical outlier in terms of poor major performance relative to regular Tour success, and this doesn't help. Oh, I misread his scorecard actually. Main point still stands.

The course played so much better once the sun came out. Really hoping for more of the same this weekend.

Not a fan of the course. Too many easy holes combined with very punitive results for small mistakes. DJ shoots par after an 8 on the 2nd hole. Fowler has 8 birdies and 6 bogies in his round. The only thing protecting this from a 25 under winning score is extreme length on some holes. Having 300 yard par 3's and 550 yard par 4's is a joke.

It will come down to some guy losing the tournament because he has one slightly wayward shot that ends up being a triple bogie.

Mickelson and Homa blowing up yesterday was quite a bummer for my betting account... all they had to do was make the damn cut!

[GKJ]

Patrick Cantlay -4 through 11

 

[Filthy Dangles]

One of my favorite parts about Majors going to new and obscure places is learning the weird tidbits about the club.

 

[GKJ]

Tom Kim -5 through 8.

Matsuyama on the move.

Koepka 2 birds in his first 4

 

[Filthy Dangles]

They really overhyped how interesting and difficult 15 playing as 80 yards might be. They were saying guys might play away from the green to the chipping area right, haven’t come close to seeing that.

Every group I’ve seen has put it to 12 feet or closer pretty easily.

Played much harder with yesterdays hole location and from 125 or whatever yards it was playing. Were a ton of 3 putts if you got it beyond the ridge past the hole.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Why did Hideki hit an iron on 11? Phil used his mini-driver there yesterday I think

Because it’s playing at least 25 yards shorter today, and more of a front pin.

Guys are trying to carry it 240-250 which is long or driving iron for most guys.

Yesterday the carry number they were looking at was more 275

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Oh my god…Zander just left two in the fairway bunker on the 1st hole…he’ll do well to just make double at this point.

#1 is basically a par 4.5

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Rory hit 9 iron into the 1sr green

They’re gonna roll back the golf ball at some point

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Xander trolling hard.

 

[GKJ]

DJ just had an interesting shot.
