Reports from the camera men are that Phil is being heckled.

Good.

The US Open starts this Thursday.  I just found out that a guy from my area go in as an alternate. He goes to Ohio State, and went to Green HS in Uniontown, Ohio (about 20 minutes south of me).

Loved seeing Rickie have a big day, definitely rooting to see him pull one off!

Others I’ll be rooting for, Schauffele and McIlroy looking great as well.  Finau and Scheffler in the mix.

At least 81 guys, including amateurs, that don’t seem to be fearing BK so far 🥲

A lot of golf left.  Curious to see how the course toughens up over the next few days.

Rickie looked so composed and focused. I would love to know what "changed" in his putting approach (thoughts) that helped him start draining the putts again. 

Random thoughts on the opening round. I have the round on dvr - finishing it up this morning. 

1. McIlroy hitting so many fairways is always a good thing. 

2. Looks like a fun course. 

3. Does Windham Clark have the same putter as Rickie?

4. Harman's 60 on the front nine is amazing.

5. The old guys may well lack some gas while walking the undulating course by the end of the weekend.

It seemed yesterday that there were a lot of golfers sinking a lot of longer putts.  That may have been a result of TV showing highlights which of course sinking a 50' putt is worthy of.  Wyndham Clark averaged 1.25 putts per hole which sounds really good but he was also #1 in strokes gained around the green so it is possible he had several shorter putts but I did see a highlight of him sinking a 64 footer.  And Rickie at 4.76 SG Putting...WOW.

Yep it drives me nuts watching on TV. IMO they should show more tee and approach shots especially at a place like this where there are some pretty cool slopes and undulations in the fairways where balls will roll forever. 

Going from green to green to green showing mid range putt after mid range putt being made gets old pretty quickly. 

Especially when they've been following a couple specific groups then they randomly flash over to a random player who is lining up for one length putt. Guess what, it always goes in when they do that!

Well that's not entirely accurate 🙂

Overused quote of the day so far, "The golf course has woke up angry today."

Feeling really conflicted here, wanting to root for this Clark guy since he's got such a great athletic swing, but then also wanting to root hard against him because.....well, his name is Wyndham.

It would probably work a lot better if he's just go by Wyndy for short.

Sam Bennett is doing well in another major. He’s impressive.

Also, these shaved areas around the green seem way more of a challenge than rough would be.

Yeah…and that name just has to be followed with the 3rd.

      Greenside Chipping/Pitching vs Long Putts

      By snapfade ·

      I'll poke a dead horse here. I like chipping, always have. However, if its a relatively clean roll I'll putt. I choke down just a bit, in my head I'm taking a little flex out of the shaft seems to stay on line better because I usually need to give it some horsepower to get it rolling good. I had about a 20 yard or so chip in to save par the other night in league night. That was the end of my 4 hole even par stretch. All down hill after that.

      Greenside Chipping/Pitching vs Long Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      This is a relevant topic, beyond the statistical nonsense. Generally, if I can use a putter and the grass is not long or uneven, I believe my results are better with the putter than another club.  Some of the green aprons, when dry, are virtually like a slightly slower green. There are other players who swear they get better results chipping from eerywhere other than the green. I suspect a short game guru has studied this and has a general recommendation.
