Here is the best summary of viewing that I've found (fwiw Thur/Friday are virtually identical so I'm not posting Friday - just the feature groups are swapped - times shown are EDT835600325_ThursdayUSOpenbroadcast.thumb.JPG.104e83e88ee12627147c8f4dc2161d61.JPG)

Rory looked amazing on the range yesterday.  They were using the shot tracer on TGC, and first they showed Tiger hitting his fairway wood and driver.  They left the traces up so you could see the paths of several shots at once.  Tiger's shots were within a few yards of each other, and I thought that was pretty impressive.  Then they showed Rory, and he hit three or four shots where the traces looked like one shot. 

It reminded me of the Robin Hood movies where he shoots a bullseye with his first shot, and then splits the first arrow with his second shot.

Live at the U.S. Open reports that the first birdie of the tournament has happened.  Piercy.

Now they're talking about Fleetwood and that they heard(?) his plan is to aim at the middle of every green.  Curious how accurate that report is.

That's Tiger's plan too. The greens are so small you'll only have 20 footers or so.

Need to hit the middle of the fairway first. So far it seems the 2nd and 10th holes are kicking these guys butt. Two tough holes.

I'm not sure I could stop a shot from 200 on the green on 12. That thing looks tiny.

Someone forgot to inform Rahm and Piercy that this is supposed to be difficult.

No worries. The USGA will run the greens for tomorrow up to a 15 on the stimpmeter.

They only do that at Shinnecock.

Dont know much about this Van Rooyen, but it seems like he contends in majors. Remember him in the hunt at the British and the PGA.

I just saw Koepka in the Promo. Someone tell him so he doesn't get anyone fired. :-P

This course plays pretty easy when there's a marine layer and no wind. In '92, they were tearing Pebble up until Sunday and the sun/wind came around. In '00, they scored lowest in round 1 when it was foggy. The next 3 rounds, only Tiger went low. In 2010, it was basically sunny every day so it played tough. 

Want Pebble to play tough? Ask for sunshine.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
