Official 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Discussion Thread

[Spyder]

Watching the still-screen on usopen.com really sucks! I figured it would end early, but not this early! This is going to make for a much longer day now!

My thoughts exactly.... I guess it would be at least a little more entertaining if they showed live views of the course and clean-up, or the storm, with commentary. I don't like staring at Phil and Steve and Keegan with the sound of air-wave static/wind in the background. Give us something , you know?

lol My productivity actually increases with background noise! If it's not live streaming of golf in the background, it's Rover's Morning Glory. Once Rover is over, it's just WMMS on iHeart Radio. After that, it's Alan Cox at 3 PM.

Don't judge me! I'm in US Open withdrawal already lol. I didn't even get to see a hole played yet because it was suspended at like 8:40 and I tried to watch it at 8:50

Ha. All I know, is that Poulter can't be happy about the suspended play. You can't really start much hotter than -3 after 3 holes...

According to the Weather Channel, there will be a window of no storms starting at noon, where hopefully some of the early starters can finish their rounds before the rain picks up again around 3:00. These guys probably won't be playing their second rounds until Saturday morning, if this forecast holds. The late starters? Be prepared for 36 holes tomorrow.

This Intellicast radar image shows that literally the hardest rain fall is over Merion.

Waitress, there's a fly in my soup.

This blows.... I guess the only fun I'll have today is watching the Heat get beat down later tonight.

I tried to embed this, but I guess you can't embed html here? I clicked the source button and it worked in this screen but appeared blank once I submitted.

Anyway, click the link for video of the rain...

Really??? I just wanna watch a live feed of US Open golf while I work. Is that too much to ask? This time last year on day 1 of the Open I was following Tiger, Phil and Bubba's group in person at Olympic with a beer in each hand!

Because it's raining?

Yeah. The USGA should be able to accurately predict the local weather on the first day of the Open five years in advance, when they award the Open to courses.
