2018 US Open - Shinnecock

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

Jordan- stop talking. Stop asking for reassurance. Pick your spot and hit it. 

[Hawndoh 2386]

Scary putt to make the cut. 

[Jive Turkey 12594]

Huge putt for Jordan coming up. 

[Hawndoh 2386]

Miss. Going home. 

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

LulZ

[mdmost 43001]

And he bogeys. Go get your head right with your putter, Jordan. 

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

He gets his head right and his putter will follow.

[Sleepygrad 1029]

1 inside the cut line thru 16, finishes bogey bogey to miss the cut....that’s some non clutch golf there that was tough to watch.

He’ll bounce back

[hookem48 4687]

Jordan's birdie putt on 17, holy fuck  how do you make that bad a putt after 4 straight birdies.

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. 

[Dewey 3286]

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.

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

[AUinHsv 579]

and tickets are still available - just wow..  If I lived there I know I would have gone  it's the US Open no matter who missed the cut.

[Lurch 5922]

Other than The Masters, I don’t think many of them sell out. The Players and Bay Hill had tickets available all four days

[tbone_ 14113]

Phoenix sells out

[mdmost 43001]

I'd imagine Pebble Beach will sell out next year. Christ, it's beautiful there.

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.

sure, why not?

[pops 6980]

Azinger is a cunt and a shitty analyst. That is all. 

[WhatTheBuck 28775]

Mickelson just cheated. Total blow up. 

[EMAWesome 101]

WTF was that with Mickelson?

[Lurch 5922]

I’ve never seen that, even in our am events

[Trey3216 15345]

Unbelievable out of a seasoned vet.   That is just a complete emotional breakdown to do that 

[Dewey 3286]

Fucking hilarious, Phil has had enough of the greens.

[pops 6980]

That's funny shit. He's 20 back and wasn't going to go get a wedge. Stop the hand wringing, Curtis. 

[Stu 25]

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.

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

[retread 2951]

lmao

[mdmost 43001]

That Phil shit is like what I do at Putt Putt. 

[Bruh Man 3160]

for those who missed it.

 

 

[EMAWesome 101]

You learn something new every day.  Today I'm learning there is an active volcano on Long Island called Mt. Mickelson.

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. 

[retread 2951]

stfu about the rules, fox

[elfenix 34225]

so, this seems unwatchable.  

[mdmost 43001]

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. 

[huge 3793]

Also. No one really cares other than it was amusing.

He wasn’t in contention.

[hookem48 4687]

Phil trying to save a little time and Fox proving why they should never ever be allowed to televise golf.

[hookem48 4687]

and now these dumbasses realizing they blew the Phil shit a 1,000,000 times out of proportion.

[EMAWesome 101]

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...

[pops 6980]

Azinger texted a bunch of people last night about DJ. Compelling analysis. 

[miguelito 11255]

John Daly hit a moving ball once, on one of those stupid hills like they have here. A less than great shot would roll back down, and he had had enough.

[Sbbruin 21829]

I just turned it on. Can someone tell me what happened with Michelson?

Nevermind the twitter showed me

[4th&Five 41519]

Greens will be unfair very soon. 

[Art Vandelay 1712]

FOX announcers: "Mickelson was later heard berating the ball -- asking it why it wouldn't just go to its home and whether or not it was too good for its home."

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Lol at joe buck taking the Phil thing so seriously.  

Mans the usga guy talking about “mobilizing the rules committee”. 

It’s not like Phil is in contention. If he were, he wouldn’t have done that. 

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Good on Phil for standing up for his choice.  Curtis was mortified.
