The US OPEN **OFFICIAL THREAD**

[Adam]

I think Phil finally gets it done. He's been playing really well and you know that everything he has done for the past 12 months has been in preparation for this tournament. Huge shot this week.

Rule change.  No more 18 hole playoff.  They went retard and it's now a 2 hole playoff.

[Adam]

I like that rule change. Mondays are too busy for me

Go Xander S.!

i'd prefer three holes, but this is definitely better than a full 18.

yep. it's his time.

if phil wins this week, spieth wins the PGA, and rory wins at augusta next april, that'll be three guys completing the career grand slam inside of a year. that'd be pretty amazing.

if phil never wins the US Open, i'll bet it's the first even he wins on the senior tour.

Some of the big names are struggling out of the gate.

Phil at +4

Day and Spieth at +5

Spieth hit the green-side bunker on his second hole, a par 3, then took five more shots to hole it. Brutal start after he bogeyed his first hole.

I have the Xman on my team this week.

This course is going to give these high hitting pros fits, especially if the wind keeps blowing. 1 over is in the top 5 right now. Trying to play American style golf on a Scottish style course doesn't always work, as I'm learning now that I'm living in coastal Oregon where the wind averages 15 MPH on a nice calm day. I don't know if any of you have experienced gorse...but trust me...it is the most nasty plant God put on this planet.

pulling for Kuchar

(and Tiger)

[Adam]

Kuchar is a lock to 

 

 

finish 6th

[Lou]

for the love of God, will someone please give Rose a damn tissue? I have no idea what the hell he said because I was watching to see how far his snot would run down before he wiped it off with his hand.

True, but he'll do it with class and a smile on his face. 

[Lou]

if I ever get the chance, I'm going to punch Poulter in the ovaries. 

[Lou]

Michelson, Spieth and Rory - what a grouping.

Phil wins the day with a 77 lol 

[Adam]

Crazy too because he was hitting fairways.

 

Tiger might hit 3 fairways today. 

[Homebrewer]

If Fowler can't win,  I'll be rooting for Reed because Lou.

[Adam]

Nice first hole Tiger
