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).

Will do my best to not root against Clark. The approach on 18 was freaking awesome. Seems like a great guy to get behind if it weren't for Rickie/Rory on the leaderboard.

Heck I am conflicted about which R I want to get behind. They've both got monkeys on their backs. It seems Rory is carrying a heavier psychological load that's getting heavier with each passing major. Rickie seems to have come out of nowhere. I'm sure he would want nothing more than the ultimate validation of a career that we thought it would be a few years ago.

This is all very exciting.

Oh, BTW, wish all y'all fathers a great day!

Just a few Fried Egg videos to help you prep for a good (hopefully) final round.

Why did Fowler get all the attention and camera time?

there were two players tied for the lead after the first round.

Stupidity further exposed:

The comment by the guy who made this video: "Coverage was aware of Xander early on, but didn’t really clue-into Rickie until his back 9."

Padraig Harrington Round 3, 67 strokes, 214 full throttle practice swings. I got wore out watching him lol.

Rickie's to lose

Rory's to win

Scotty you never know

Wyndham they will continue to exploit his story about his mom. If he pulls it off it will be the feel good story. 

Radar O'Riley ( Patrick Reed) sitting at next to last place. hehehe 

Happy Fathers Day everyone.

Your post seems to suggest that facts should actually matter to people when they make comments 😉

It was hard to tell on the TV, but it looks like some were not happy with how late the tee times were due to how dark it was when they finished.

I would respond, play faster 😜

That's true, the last group was - I think - a whole hole behind

Rory and DJ play fast. So, I can understand that. I think Clark is slow. Rickie, seems to play at a normal pace.

Today they are starting an hour earlier. I bet they still finish at dark 🤣

In case there's a playoff. It's now… two holes, IIRC. Golf's majors have 1, 2, 3, and 4-hole playoffs.

Looks like it hit the cup liner? Is the liner installed too high? I am just going to say, the putt was hit too hard.

Yeah, the cup liner may have been too high. But even then it usually doesn't have quite enough of a corner, because the cup liner isn't THAT thick. The little 45° angle it creates usually hits pretty high up on the ball.

But I think it was too high, in looking at the video. Not a ton of paint. I wonder if one of the guys pulled it out slightly when taking the stick out. If it got angled slightly that could also increase the distance the "lip" of the metal cup sticks out away from the sod wall, too.

Is it me or their far too many ED ads being shown?😜

Rory is looking good, but he’s missing some approach shots that he would normally hit close.

Fowler with the less-than-ideal start.

What a great final day .... Fowler / Rory / Scheffler ?? or will Clark keep his lead to the end ...I really don't know who I want to win of these 4 ... prob Fowler purely as what a come-back from looking like might well have played his last Major awhile ago ..

My money was on Cam Smith ...but he's too far back .. 

DJ shows he has the game but that one hole wiped him out of contentions early and his putting hasn't been on point ...

It is exciting. The back nine is the key.
