Why can they broadcast the Women’s Open without interruption, and the Men’s with constant interruption?

Number of viewers, commercials, sponsor deals? Money.

I do not mind breaking clubs, but throwing the club like he did. In anger, he could absolutely not notice someone there, or the club slips out of his hand and it hits someone. I am all for players showing emotion, but if it puts spectators safety in danger, there should be some sort of penalty for that action.

I saw him bust that one over his knee. I’m good with players expressing their frustration by busting their clubs over their knees. More should do that! 😁

What a great round today! Classic rollercoaster leaderboard. Too bad you’re missing out @jxdama.

I  just  tuned  in and the  course  is a  joke.  Way  too easy  for  a US Open. I dont  know  if they are afraid  of the  players but  as Tom Watson said even par  should  be the winning score at a  US Open. Its too embarrassing  so they never show  you players  being able to tee  up fairway shots  but are they playing  lift, clean and  cheat today? And thats what Feherty  called  it. One day it will actually  be  played  on a  hard  course.

It’s Sunday and the leaders are -4. You’re just being a dope. Even your buddy Watson just said this course is playing like a true US OPEN course should. Yeah. You’re just wrong.

Just because Tom Watson would never have been able to break par on this layout, doesn't mean the current players can't 😛 

Guess what, does he invalidate his own US Open which he won at -6! 

7 out of 64 players broke par yesterday. The lowest round is 3 under par. These guys are having a hard time. It is not unfair, it is a very good challenge for a US Open. 

Also, unlike yesteryears there is a higher chance of someone having a very good weekend even under tough conditions. These golfers are just that good.

They wont  be  4 under at  7pm. This  is  an embarrassment. It seems  to cater to the  players they went the  opposite  of what they should and shortened the  course quite a  bit. I  have a feeling Watson wont  be  so generous when this very  easy  round  is  over. Sadly, his  comments were based  on yesterday. All im seeing are  birdies today. -10 winning score  isnt worthy of a  once  proud tradition.

Won't happen. 

The best round the course right now is -4. From someone who has no pressure on them to try to win. 

Most rounds are still well over par.

They are  no better than 40 years ago. The equipment  is  better. The USGA officials  have failed to adjust. The fairways are too wide, rough too short, too many holes are so short  you  can chicken stick them, and  this  course was totally  gale  force wind dependent to appear  "tough". Im sorry, but  a final round  birdie fest  just  isnt worthy.

The way he was playing, all he had to do was aim at a spectator, and there would have been no danger of hitting anyone.

I wish you were right and the winning score ends  up no better than -3

If it’s so frustrating for you, you could turn it off. No one is making you watch this “embarrassment.”  You should submit your complaints to the USGA as I’m sure they value your opinion and are unaware of their failings so that they can improve next year.

20-40 yard wide fairways are typical. It wasn't like Tom was playing higher fairways in the past. You are just making up BS to support your argument with out comparison. You sound like an old man who is complaining kids have busses to go to school.

Back in my day, we played golf in 100 mph winds, 5 yard wide fairways, 1' high rough!!!! 

FYI, the rough 4" high, with these greens, is penalizing enough.

LOL! Exactly. And this morning Oberholtzer showed the rough around the greens to be around 5-7”. They haven’t cut the rough since Monday.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
