I hate it when people use “facts” to argue against my feelings.

Rahm is out. He apparently injured his left foot after taking it out of his mouth explaining why he went to LIV. Jon Rahm withdraws from U.S. Open due to injury - PGA TOUR

The courses played +3.2 relative to par on the first day.  That is why Rory's and Cantlay's strokes gained were +8.2 better than average. They played stupidly good on a very tough test. It happen

Still not happy with Bryson's lies. For example, just yesterday: The hat was because of Payne. Years ago he was on record as saying it's because of Ben Hogan. The wall at SMU for Payne

To be fair, one of his points was that the field in the U.S. Open has a lot of qualifiers. The PGA has a pretty strong field, as did the Memorial.

He did himself no favors by calling out a single bold uppercased word as "yelling."

Buddy… Bolding and capitalizing one word out of over 120 is not yelling.

And seriously, be a student of history or something. The U.S. Open often gets harder as it goes on. -5 might end up as the winning score. Plus, there wasn't a ton of wind today. And… these players are pretty good.

The "these courses are too easy" takes can just go away. We've had enough with one person's perpetual posts on that topic, we don't need another.

Is there a list of “takes that can just go away” somewhere on the site so I can avoid getting on your lawn going forward?  And if bolding and capitalizing a word isn’t yelling, try sending an email with a topic you don’t agree on to your boss, or his/her boss with a key word bolded and capitalized and see how that plays.  Have a good one buddy.

You're welcome to come on my lawn with any take you want, as long as you have facts that support your position.

If you come on my lawn spewing nonsense and don't back it up with facts then yeah I'm going to turn into the grumpy old man and tell you to get off my lawn.

 

What facts do you have that support your claim that this isn't the toughest test of golf in the month of June?

Round 2 early. I can see the grind taking it's toll on these guys already. Would love Rory to do it but my head says Cantlay. This is going to wear them out. Who can mentally last the pace.

Ok, back to the US Open. It is hard to read intent on the internet, and there was a misinterpretation of my intent to use bold and uppercase.

Kinda feel like every time I stop in here to talk golf, it’s people arguing about nonsense..

 

there’s a great tournament going on. I love watching these majors and these groupings are awesome. Great golf!

Doesn’t look like anyone is going super low yet today. Doesn’t appear to be much wind yet either.

Yeah, I would think balls not grabbing on these greens = defensive golf. On another note, I seem to have jinxed Scheffler and  Kentucky has declared a statewide national holiday in celebration. Groan.

Detry making some good length putts today. Defying probability with a pretty good round. +4.3 strokes gained putting. Not sure this is sustainable. 

Nicolas Echavarria, leading the field with +3.72 AVG strokes gained approach. He is -2.51 strokes gained putting. 

Right now, I would put money on Aberg, Top 10 strokes gained putting, top 5 strokes gained approach and leading in strokes gained off the tee. 

Rory's putter needs to heat up. Another all-around good play is Tony Finau, +1 to +2 strokes gained in putting, approach, around the green and off the tee.

If you don't think this course is difficult enough you should just stop watching golf.

Hovland is out, Scheffler just made the cut, Tiger has a lot of grinding to do to avoid an early weekend. I'm rooting for Ludvig or Rory. Cantlay can find a bush.

There are literally 75 golfers left on the course and instead they are showing DeShamblow’s ugly mug and highlights of his douchieness. It’s nauseating. Show golf NBC! Your paying Mike Tirico a lot of money to announce too!

      Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
