2018 US Open - Shinnecock

[Art Vandelay 1712]

Pretty good explanation by Phil there. I don't blame him. No big deal. It's being blown out of proportion.

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

dumbass idiots just televise the rest of the tournament with no announcing. fucking retards

[EMAWesome 101]

Jesus, the way Buck and Strange are going on about this you would think Art Briles had just qualified for the U.S. Open.

[hookem48 4687]

shut the fuck up you fucking idiots, it was exactly what Phil said it was

[Lurch 5922]

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

He will.

[hookem48 4687]

watch out for Stenson, he doesn't care about wind

On the Champions Tour in 10 years. Maybe.

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. 

DJ, Justin Rose, Stenson, Koepka, Fleetwood, and Poulter  all within 3 shots of each other now. This is gonna be a must watch car crash. 

[Lurch 5922]

Nope. Within next two years.

DJ melting down. All the talent in the world in a 10 cent head. 

[mdmost 43001]

DJ's in the tall grass. This is going well for the rest of the group. 

[Uncle Nate 2097]

He may have to bring the coke back. 

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Phil's such a good bullshitter.  He took his penalty, who gives a fuck.

Crackhead looking a little shaky.

Fuck Pooooultah.

His game is in a lot better shape than I ever thought it would be. His issue is going to be the deep talented fields he’ll have in every of the next 8 majors. The 20 year olds are just better. He cannot win. 

[EMAWesome 101]

Given the wind and the way the USGA set up this course no one was going to go four rounds without the course biting them at least one round.  The question today is does the course bite off Johnson's toe or his leg.  If he shoots 73 or 74 he will still be leading at the end of the day, assuming the wind doesn't die.  He has to keep from shooting 77 today.  I'll say right now Pearcy won't break 80 today.

what did he bullshit about? 

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

DJ bringing the field back to him. 

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

And the usga better water the greens all night. 

[Jive Turkey 12594]

DJ will be lucky to be in the final pairing tomorrow. 

[EMAWesome 101]

I motion we eliminate the word "shine" from the English language until Fox is off the air.

[EMAWesome 101]

Finally some idiot from the gallery screams something I like, "Fire Joe Buck."

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

sure, why not?

CSB warning:

Ok so regarding the parking situation. I grew up spending summers in Southampton, my grandmother owned a house just a few miles from the golf course. My grandmother passed away years before 1995 and my parents rented the house out but got tired of dealing with idiot tenants so they looked to sell the house.

When we told a good friend of ours we were selling the house, he said WTF are you doing, the US Open will be there soon, we have to go! So my parents sold the house, but in the agreement we had it put in writing that we could stay at the house during the week of the 1995 US Open. We sold the house to a couple who were the last renters, and so we knew them a little bit. And the house was big enough that we didn’t ask the couple to vacate during that week.

Fast forward to the tournament, we purchased tickets for the entire week and very excited to attend. But then we see the assigned parking was 30 mins away from the course towards NYC, and that’s with zero traffic. You catch a shuttle bus that takes about 90 mins in traffic to the course. Rinse and repeat in the evening when done for the day. We were thinking F that. Keep in mind this is long before Uber and not much in the way of taxi service out that way.

Couple who bought the house, the lady was a prominent local landscaper. My dad says go ask her if she has any ideas what we can do. She says no problem, she has the solution. Makes a phone call, gets out a piece of paper and writes “friend of Mary” on it and hands it to me and says here, you can park at my client’s house, it’s on the golf course. We are happy and hopeful that this will work.

Morning of the first day, we drive by the course, turn down a small street that had media staging. Cop stops us and asks where are you going? I show him the hand written sign and tell him we are parking at a house for the tournament. He waves us though. We park at this mansion, walk just a few steps pretty much right onto the 2nd tee box. Every day. Saved us hours of frustration. So we always joke about that stupid hand written sign that said friend of Mary. We never met or saw the owner of that house.

Now I see they erected a decent looking fence around the area where we walked onto the course, so very doubtful we could replicate that again.

End csb

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. 

Like I said...

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Rose is about 4 barely missed putts yesterday from being in control of his tournament.

I want Hoffman to make a little run. 

[Firemans4Horn 18036]

Wheels off for DJ. 

[hookem48 4687]

guys that barely missed the cut could have been all in the middle of this thing playing this morning

it's a major, not happening

[phdhorn 6224]

I don't think anyone is going to win except for the Shinnecock Indians.  Hopefully no one built a subdivision on top of their ancestors.

Finau and Berger could be the final group tomorrow.  Woodland finished about two and a half hours or so ago and shot 70.  He's at +8 and was tied for 48th when he finished.  He's now tied for 27th.

[Jive Turkey 12594]

Zach Johnson is such a bitch. 

[RockyMountainHighHorn 890]

Zach Johnson with some strong words there 

[Sbbruin 21830]

DJ needs to stripe up some rails stat.

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Fuck Poulter

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

So now fox guys talking about Phil some more, saying if he’s going to use rules he should use rules that obviously don’t apply that would give him a better advantage. They are basically accusing him of cheating. 

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Stenson in jail.   If he gets that within 25 feet, I think that would be great.

I think it's funny that guys making millions for playing golf are whining about the course being too hard. I have no problem with someone winning this with a score of +5. If it's one of the biggest tournaments out there it should be one of the hardest courses.

Yep.  Sucks they both missed the putts. 

[AUinHsv 579]

Go find a copy of Massacre at Winged Foot about the 74 Open after  Miller shot his 63 the year before. Irwin won with something like 7 over. USGA is tired of John Deere like scores.

6 over through 8 isn’t from just scaring the hole a couple times. 

[Firemans4Horn 18036]

Great shot by Stenson

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Rose just horrid with his irons today.  Wow, how is he only 2 back.

[hookem48 4687]

he's burning the edges on every missed putt and he wasn't 6 over when I responded.

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Do you want to be at the top of the leaderboard tonight?  Just means you play late like today, and the course should age tomorrow like it did today. 

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

Rose scrambling like a mutha today.  1 green hit??
