Double and triple bogies are out there and not hard to find. The thought of DJ running away with this did cross.my mind, but I'll hold out some hope. Not rooting against him, just want to see some drama.

Sadly, I have a feeling that this might not be must see tv on Sunday. Good for DJ but sucks for viewing purposes. The losing of a huge group of stars doesn't hurt earlier. I guess I am hoping an amateur makes a run now. 

I don’t think this is going to run away. DJ is certainly locked in but you make one mistake into the fescue or run it off one of these greens, you can quickly add three strokes.

really liked Poulter's honesty on his mess from the bunker.  Something like - a really bad shot from there would wind up 30 feet away. I wound up 30 yards

It’s a pain in the ass for most folks who don’t have a house in Southampton to get to this open. There aren’t any big hotels local, and only a few small hotels anyways. Most are taking the LIRR (train) from the city or somewhere on Long Island. The parking is a long way from the course especially with the usual summer traffic. So many people just don’t want to deal with the effort. I have a long CSB story about how we dealt with the whole issue in 1995 but will spare everyone unless someone is interested.

The guy probably didn't want to hit the next shot, which would have been a 60 yarder off of a tight lie.. just decided to take the 2 shot penalty.

Mickelson just cheated. Total blow up. 

He didn't cheat. He will be assessed 2 strokes for hitting a moving ball.

When you see Tiger play like this you wonder how he could ever compete against the young guns on a hard course set up for a Major

He can’t. He’ll never win a major again. The hand-wringing on here about him Thursday was hilarious.

There's really nothing more exciting than watching these guys on the driving range. If Fox ever gets the Masters, the world just needs to end.

Meh. He broke the rules. He cheated and was assessed the appropriate penalty. It's still cheating even if you don't get away with it. It's like a renege in Euchre. (I'm not sure if you're familiar with that reference.)

It wasn't diabolical. I don't think my choice of words to use on short notice merits a debate/distraction.

At least you got me to Google euchre.

Now Rose chunks his 2nd shot of his round.  Has the U.S. Open adopted the tournament procedures from my course when I was growing up where there was a keg tapped at the first tee box today?

I think using the word Euchre is plenty enough to merit debate...
