Would you rather have Curtis Strange?

Shitty proposition. 

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

So dj showed up with Wayne. I wonder if he was just behind the ropes following along. You could be minding your business watching at a tee box and hear “nice shot, eh” and suddenly Gretzky is next to you.

Man that 15th green is a witch. Almost no shot at birdie if you leave it above the hole. 

How could you not have a shit eating grin on your face putting that hole location in?

Made for some good entertainment though.

Clark's not wrong. 

Quote

"I mean, it’s a little ridiculous we teed off that late," Clark said. "I would say right around hole 15 or 16 it started getting to where you couldn't see that well. I mean, I don't personally understand why we teed off — we played twilight golf.

 

[LTtxfan 49373]

Some talking heads saying no way either player in the final pairing wins today... I wouldn't mind watching a playoff between Scottie and Rickie   😋

 

Tee times below are CST

This course and leaderboard shapes up for what should be an awesome finish. If any of the guys in groups 2-4 goes out in 29 like Kim did yesterday and either Clark or Fowler don't take advantage of the early scoring holes things should get really interesting. Fowler is having the tournament of his life--primarily with his putter--but can he keep it going for 18 more holes? Personally I like Rory or Scottie to take it with Xander the dark horse. That 73 yesterday was costly.

[thunderlounge 7950]

Featured groups on peacock are shit today. Kind of expected, but still sucks. 

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

Could you imagine having to suspend a playoff due to darkness because you just had to tee off late to get the back 9 in prime time for the eastern half of the country?

the 1 hour earlier start probably eliminates that but it’s still going to finish pretty late. The earlier guys are still playing for their payday and won’t be hitting it on the trot. 

[ztejas 43546]

Vegas only giving 4 guys a shot. 

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

I felt like every time they showed English he was scrambling, but he never really dropped.  
 

xander might be thinking about the two shots he just gave away in the first 3 shots of his round yesterday.  I am, and I only had to watch it. 

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

I didn’t realize that Sam Bennett shot a 79 yesterday. Ouch.

Every time he runs his mouth he shits the bed. He said Augusta National wasn't any harder than the US amateur and then dropped way down the leaderboard, before yesterdays round he said he felt like he belonged on tour and shoots a 79.

Perfect aggy

It’s going to be a great final round ….

One is barely into the back 9 and the other just hit the turn. So let’s see.

Oh cool a guy at +9 made a birdie.

What's your winning score prediction??

 

Maybe -12 gets yah into the playoff 🤔

The course is awesome.  It’s on a lot of top 20 in the country lists.  It’s a great club too.  They rarely, if ever, let in entertainment industry people.  That’s a huge plus.  It’s a bunch of lawyers, doctors, bankers, etc., that love golf.  I was fortunate to play it in 2016 and it’s an amazing place.  

[LTtxfan 49373]

Really wish "The US Open" was not returning to this course in 2039.

What a joke

[GhostOfTomJoad 9358]

Let the golf gods grant Fleetwood a 59 today.

All they’ll need to do is narrow the fairways and it’ll play correctly.

I mean in the context of where we should be playing US Opens. 

It could be Augusta West and it wouldn't matter if they can't get more fans between the ropes. 

[The Dude 1246]

Fleetwood’s card looks pretty good I guess.
That was impressive from the rough

[GhostOfTomJoad 9358]

Just spied Fowler on the range. He broke out the okie State orange hat. You've still got time to change your lid, Rick.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9358]

Is DJ's beard really turning that gray suddenly or did he forget to hoover out some of the coke he bought with the LIV money?

Yes, I get the point.  I don’t particularly care about the gallery.  I just want to see good golf.  The course played easier this week for a couple of reasons but it’s still a great venue.  I’m loving it.

Yeah the wide fairways, terrible Thursday set-up, lack of tickets for normal fans, and stupid late tee times have really hurt this US Open.

I just can't respect the two 62's shot in the opening round...

This has not been a good venue for golf fans wanting to attend "The US Open"

Scottie in the deep rough after his first tee shot. Uggh.

[LTtxfan 49373]

Damn that pin position on #1 giving players problems...

[ztejas 43546]

Scottie getting the meltdown out of the way early.

[ClubWhatever 12158]

Looks like a duffer

[GhostOfTomJoad 9358]

Looked like Fowler's ball sat down deep in that rough.

Clark piped his drive. Here we go. Finally.

Scottie with a handsome par on one.

[ztejas 43546]

Rory came to fucking play. These guys better be ready to score.
