Does that mean Rory, Phil, and Dustin were the major meltdown pairing?

While I always hope for an American to win the US Open, I'm with you.  I hope he keeps pouring it on; it would be awful if he goes backwards after the final round at the Masters.

Geez!  Speechless..

I really hope he runs away with it.  It's been a long time since a player dominated the field as much as RM's doing right now.

Rory just made history.  He has shot lower (-13) than any player in the US open during any point of the tourny.  Impressive!

What if he shoots a 90?

Man, this is impressive.  Even after his inevitable epic Sunday meltdown, he will still win by a few strokes.

He obviously was on a high and wanted to show boat a bit and stiff it on 18. I'm confused as to why he chose that line. Pulled it or not, he still should've aimed at the right pots and tried to get up and down, at least taking double out of play..

I agree that he should have started it more right but we don't know how far out there to the right he started it camera angles aren't the best. Secondly, he has been hitting the ball better than anyone and felt really good about himself so why not try to get it in close.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to show off, he isn't that kind of guy.

If Yang can match Rory's 5 under(which is not unreasonable), he is only 3 shots off the lead.  A 3 shot lead can evaporate quite quickly.  This is by no means a runaway yet.

I think it will be a case of Rory making a mistake rather than anyone catching him

Was it '94 or 97 that Monty shot lights out on Friday to eliminate a ton of guys (> 10 strokes out of the lead) then didn't win. Depending on how hot it gets on the weekend (haven't seen a forecast), people from the UK have been known to just sort of melt, about mid-Sunday.

That is a hell of a margin. I wasn't really rooting for Rory at first, but it is hard not to at this point. Look at it this way....he has provided us with some of the best TV golf that has been displayed in the last year, and he is more than capable of bringing this thing home.

Looks like my original pick (Dusting Johnson) is not feelin it this week.

Also pulling for GMac, Uhlien, Garrigus, and Watson.

Rory is awesome. Hopefully he can keep it together tomorrow and sunday, if so he has definitely got it. He has a great swing... I know he will be one of the best players over the next decade

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
