I just heard Azinger say that most of the best players have a slight over the top move. Is this true?

I hope he ends bogey bogey bogey bogey

What kind of weinerschnitzel did he have this week? My goodness!

He's short sided, so he might finally falter a little. Man alive though, an 8 shot lead and Friday isn't even done. He just made a good bunker shot so he won't be dropping a stroke there.

don't you know it's bad karma to wish ill of others? ;-) If he keeps this up and runs away with it, I won't be watching over the weekend.  A snooze-fest.

Right there with you, that would bum me out hard.

Just as a sideline, does anyone else agree that watching Keegan Bradley set up for a shot is absolute agony? If he gets any twitchier he'll get to the point at which he can't bring himself to actually hit the ball.

I like the guy, but yeah, he's excruciating to watch.

I heard it too. I think Zinger played a pull cut for most of his career so he might just be trying to make himself feel better...

Holy crap, Kaymer is 10 under. The guy is on fire can't do anything wrong right now.

This course is very difficult, he's the only one in the field doing this.

Phil barely tees off and has no chance of catching him. DANGIT!

Sure he can, all he needs to do is shoot 60

That's fine. Jordan Spieth is going to come out blazing today and be T1 (kidding, of course). I still expect the Sunday score to be closer to -5 or -6. I do expect Spieth to at least finish -6 today though. Really pulling for the kid.

Generally yes, if he's referring to the lead arm having more depth at A3 (left arm parallel to the ground on the backswing) then at A5.

Kaymer doesn't seem to be playing the same course Keegan and Duf are.  He's running away with it at this point.  I hope someone can catch him or this is going to be a really boring golf weekend.

Yeah, gonna put that one on hold until I hear experts agree with that. Woods and McIlroy 36 leads were 6.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

A 65 or 66 is out there if one of these guys now can get hot. Given kaymer's talent I have a hard time seeing him coming back to the pack too much. Hes not Gil Morgan or Ricky Barnes. Someone is gonna have to meet him at least half way to have a chance.

Just got home and turned on the TV as they were showing a leaderboard.

Wow!!!

A few weeks ago I said I was curious which kinds of player this US Open would benefit. Looks like whatever kind of player Kaymer is. Maybe he'll come back to the field when he has to move to the other course tomorrow. Oh wait, different tournament.

I don't really care who wins but I hoped it was at least a close contest. Still a ways to go but, man (SMH) 10 under?
