Heyyy now, I resent that.  BC Open is my home course in my hometown!  

I'm from Binghamton originally, live in Ithaca now. En-Joie is on my list of courses to play.

I saw all the tweets of those following Tiger Tracker on Twitter, so called fans of Tiger saying he's out of contention. He's at Even Par in the U.S. Open. Yes he's 9 strokes behind Woodland (great 65 by the way) but +1 was the highest Tiger could have shot today.

I think Tiger shoots 66 tomorrow and jumps up 25 spots. If he's within 3 or so going into to Sunday, he knows how to win a major from behind now... Just saying.

If he’s going to shoot 66, he needs to play the easier holes better. He’s not taking advantage of the par-5s and yesterday he didn’t take advantage of some of the easier holes on the front, like 4 and 7, let alone not birdieing the par 5s. Looks like the same weather today, so anything less than a 66 and he’s likely out of it.

Also glad to see Patrick Reed acting like Patrick Reed. Imagine following him and Jon Rahm around when they both have bad days.

Patrick Reed was in danger of missing the cut, and butchering the 18th hole at Pebble Beach...

It's likely he's already out of it even if he does shoot 66. It's not like everyone ahead of him is going to shoot above par.

I bet Rory's 64-61 of last weekend would put the trophy in Tiger's hands this weekend.  Just saying it's possible, not probable.

The third round usually is Tiger’s round. When I think of his runs, they’re made on Saturday. The last time at Pebble he went low on Saturday. A lot of his Masters wins or contentions he’d make his moves on Saturday. Regular tournaments he’ll go after it on Saturdays. So we will see. But he has to start hot. And he needs some sun and breeze for the late guys.

65 today and I think Tiger is in the mix.....just feel that nobody is going to run away and Woodland comes back....I am going to predict -9 is leading going into tomorrow, which would put Tiger only 3 back with a 65 today.....stranger things have happened.......

What are the real tee times and leaderboard? The US Open app can’t be correct:

The (non-mobile) website had the leaderboard wrong after play yesterday, with Woodland being listed worst among those who made the cut.  Maybe the sorting was off or something.

Just saw Snedker and Cabrera-Bello tee off on #1.  When Brandt was on the tee first, the infographic showed the fairway bunker was 246 yards away.  Rafa stepped up and the bunker is now 247 from the tee.

Is anyone else disturbed by the thought of a mobile fairway bunker?

Maybe Rafa was teeing off a yard behind the markers.

I think they air amateur tournaments online somewhere if you want to see them more. Or check out different college events in your state. Then you can watch them in person.

Guys, a question.  It is now June and the end of summer in the northern hemisphere.  I would assume it is nice and warm.  Why are so many pros wearing sweaters.  Has the temperature already dropped so much or is the wind chill factor that high

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
