Didn't one of the celebs score in the low 80's? So I would venture to take your bet on someone shooting 9 under. Anyways, my vote is for Jim Furyk.

I am sure the greens were holding for the celebs, wait until the weekend rolls around, the course will be much tougher.

Some rain in the forecast - course may play longer, however, the greens may hold and the greens may be a bit slower.

I hope Sergio wins at -6.

Gonna be lots of rain so it will play about 500 yards longer but greens will hold more so my -9 pick is still a lock.No rough means easy course.

If its playing 500 yards longer, then that means we're talking about an 8000+ yard course. And you think -9 will be the final tally? WOW! Those guys must be good ;)

It's surprising that nobody mentioned David Toms...

I'll go out on a limb and pick my favourite golfer David Toms. He's finished 2nd place last week and he's 1st in Driving Accuracy.

I have no idea who will win... but so much rain, and greens running only at 12 today... unless it firms up, a lot of guys could win. This could be a strange US Open.

I say the low 36-hole score will be lower in relation to par than the total winning score. 7-under will lead on Friday night, but 6-under will win.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I think the winner is in the 6 under - 10 under range; and that's not a knock on the course. I live 5 minutes from the course and have played it numerous times. It's too bad this will be the second time we're not seeing The Black with typical Long Island weather.

Anyway, here are the birdie holes:

#1 - Dogleg right par 4. Good tee shot will have these guys with an 8 iron going into the green.
#2 - Only par 4 under 400 yards. Put it in the fairway with an iron or 5-wood and they'll have a 6 or 7 iron up the hill.
#4 - The signature hole on The Black. Par 5, good drive of 300 will leave about 210 up the hill, over trouble to a green that slopes away. Still a birdie hole.
#6 - Par 4. Change on this one - 2002 it had two fairways the second being at the bottom of the hill for layups out of the rough. There is now just one fairway and a 300 yard drive will get a roll down a steep hill leaving 60-80 yards in.
#11 - Par 4. Tough green, but a good drive will leave a mid iron in.
#13 - Par 5. Added 50 yards to this one since 2002, 605 yards now. Two good shots will leave 100 going in.
#14 - Par 3. Shortest par 3 - maybe 150 yards. Huge green that can have some tough pins.

#s 15 - 18 are not birdie holes. If someone crosses the road from 14 to 15 on Sunday down 2 shots, they're toast.

I think there are up to seven birdie holes for these guys - and even one or two of those are debatable. I think someone can shoot 68 each day to get to 8 under - but even with the conditions, I don't see anyone (other than TW) going 66-68-67-68.

I'll go with 5 guys under par; winner at 7 under.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
