2014 U.S. Opens (Plural!) at Pinehurst #2 Discussion Thread

Brendon Todd appears to be shitting all over himself

Pace of play is abysmal.

What's the time right now?

What's the time right now?

3:30 for 13 holes. On pace for 290 minute round. In twosomes. In one fairway they both looked at each other and said "I thought you were away. "

[Chilli Dipper]

If Kaymer can get to the clubhouse at 8-under, I can't see how he loses tomorrow. 7-under or below? We have a tournament on our hands.

I like Kaymer, but I hope he drops a few strokes coming down the stretch. It would be interesting to see him play Sunday with Fowler, Compton, Stenson, and DJ right behind him.

[RJH999]

I think Kaymer will drop at least one during the closing stretch.

I don't think Compton has the fitness to play at his best for 72 holes. That's not going to stop NBC from giving him a 10-minute Jimmy Roberts feature before the final round, or the press from gushing his story in Sunday's sports pages.

I think he'll surprise some people, but he's not going to win

[chasm]

Feel a bit sorry for Na. Just hasn't been able to keep his concentration to the end.

[RJH999]

So Kaymer and Fowler in the final group?

[chasm]

Great finish from Kaymer. Not over yet, but giving him a five-shot start doesn't look too simple.

[Shindig]

So Kaymer and Fowler in the final group?

Yep.

[RJH999]

Hard to see him giving up the lead, I probably won't watch tomorrow

[Shorty]

So you don't think an early double from Kaymer and an early birdie from Fowler would narrow the gap somewhat? It wouldn't surprise me if it becomes very very tense at the end. With those runoffs a four shot lead with 6 to go is no cakewalk.

I remember saying the same words the last time the Open was at Pinehurst and everyone thought there was no chance Retief Goosen would blow his lead. Anything is possible.

I guess you're right, but I really wanna watch some WC games so i'll probably just check the leaderboard and if things get interesting i'll check it out. I hope Rickie or Compton can win

Watched a little bit of this today because it was broadcasting on the web for free for some reason and I caught a hole where this Kevin Na skulled a chip across the green and then muffed the comebacker.  Total weekend hacker style, I loved it.
