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.

Loved seeing Rory completely whiff the ball on 18....very relatable.  Good to see DJ and Mac Hughes have solid rounds.

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!

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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
