2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot

[phillyk]

Today already looks tough. 15mph winds and greens look really quick and firmer. We may still see a +8 winner

[ChrisP]

Wind is supposed to die down throughout the day but not sure it matters. Greens are getting brown and very fast. Gonna be a battle today regardless of wind.

Still hanging onto that top 5 comment from what... 7 years ago now?  

Is that you Justine?😁

You gotta a better nickname for Captain America?

I think there will be some separation today. I think a couple of the guys at the top will hang around -2 or -3 while most of the others go south. Tends to happen on tough courses.

I hope they're keeping a real close eye on Cheatin' Fatrick with this deep rough that he doesn't get a magically improving lie...

That low left drive that maxed at 48 feet in height by Thomas on 2 I am so familiar with. 

The weather and wind seem to be keeping De Chambeau from the mammoth 350 yard drives he made in the heat of summer.

Kessler took out Top 5's gap wedge at the range today and replaced it with this..just sayin.

Careful.  I think the Chicago Cubs might have that phrase registered as a trademark.

Guess Wolff saw Morikawa win and said I need to get going. I always said a Morikawa-Wolff rivalry is the next thing in golf. Two very contrasting styles but similarly great games.

OK, DeChambeau made me eat my words. 

It’ll be interesting if it comes down to DeChambeau / Wolff in the end. 

Reed is not well liked but it’s cool watching a guy who can’t overpower a course find a way to score. 

I noticed a few mistakes by announcers with player scores. A couple off center camera shots because mistimed cutaways. 

Is anyone remote announcing on this telecast?

[nevets88]

The leaderboard graphic has a slider on the right. Nifty.

I hate to say things like this, but can someone please tell Dan Hicks to just SHUT UP every now and then? You don't have to fill every microsecond with words.

I chip around my back yard everyday. When  my grass gets a bit on the longer side I struggle to keep the ball from moving when I come even close to grounding my club, and my yard is nowhere near as lush as at the open. Shocked these players don’t cause the ball to move more often in this rough, especially how close the club seems to get the ball at address. They must not get as close as it looks.

If he wins I’m gonna enjoy those salty tears of yours.  If he doesn’t, so be it.  I don’t hold 7 year grudges on young athletes who display a little overconfidence, even if it comes out as cocky.

[GolfLug]

Can't believe I am saying this but feeling for Reed at the moment. Doods unraveling it seems. 

Wolff winning this rough consistently is crazy good. Wow.

There's a Wolff lurking in the tall grass...

A lot of guys missing the fairway bypassing driver going with iron. 

If it’s Wolff - DeChambeau, final pair with not “typical” looking swings is cool.
