Golf: 2018 US Open: June 14-17 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Tiger is not going to be able to make contact with that next shot.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Tiger in the long stuff now

The conditions really aren't that hard.

Bad golf is bad golf. The best score today isn't +5, so its not like the course is unplayable. Its a normal US Open set-up. Not many will be under par.

I really hope the pro pundits stop talking about the conditions. Its annoying. Call out the top players for playing bad golf.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Make that 1.4 over the scoring average

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Fire up the dinghy!

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Make that 1.4 over the scoring average

The only question now is O/U Phil, O/U Spieth and O/U Rory.

These conditions are a far cry from what we see at The Open. Pretty tame compared to that

Figures as soon as I get home & turn it on, Tiger starts wetting the bed again.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is a weak leaderboard for a major. If DJ doesn't win, I gotta think we are looking at Rose, Fowler, Thomas, Stenson and 2018's Single Season Grand Slam winner as the main contenders.

Obviously I'm not a tour pro, but I play at Montauk Downs 4+ times a year and the wind really screws with your head. Definitely having an impact today. Hope the cream of the crop comes up to the top of the leaderboard over the next few days.

We're very interested to see what Tiger brings, but there are other good players to show that are, you know, actually playing good/better golf. Show them.

 

[joe89]

Stenson in a nutshell this season, par on the easiest holes and birdies on low percentage putts. 12 of 15 greens hit, he shouldn't be over par.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I'll take Day at 16-1

strong pick

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is being intentionally misleading or insane. Phil is basically claiming +5 or worse will win the event.

"I’ve got no complaints," he said. "If I play the next two rounds in par-par, I’m right back in it."

No it isn't. He is being realistic. Nobody is shooting four rounds of par or better unless somebody Kaymer's this. Realistically everyone is going to be struggling to break par without serious condition changes. Even could very well be the lead come Sunday, and if he shoots par-par he can definitely be within striking distance if the leaders on Sunday collapse.

 

[Cody Webster]

Tiger looking better today. DJ just on cruise control

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Great start so far...

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

It's amazing how many of the top guys lost the tournament in one round.

There's just no way you're making back 7-8 strokes out there imo. The best rounds aren't going to be more than a few under it doesn't look like.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Tiger now 1 behind the cut line.....we need some more of the +5 & + 6 people to choke today so we can see Eldrick on the weekend.

I think the cut will be around +9, so E through the remaining 9 holes should be good enough.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

What the hell was that? Dam near a shank

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Tiger is going to have nightmares with hole 1

 

[Cody Webster]

First hole kicking his ass again today. He's gonna miss the cut now all due to one hole
