I missed Fowler's slow motion swing analysis - didn't record it - what were they saying about his not straight lead arm?

He was just saying that it's unusual since it could be harder to swing down through the ball at impact that way. I say that he hit a decent shot anyways, so however he does it must work.

Yeah keep an open mind, I think you'll have a different take by the end of the week. Pebble and Spy are well cared for and a lot of money is spent on keeping them lush. Obviously with

Typical German. Blasts out of the gate and everyone considers surrendering, then he falters in the late campaigns. We just need some Brits, Frenchies, and Americans to come in and light that ass up.

I  think Kaymer will be teeing off with his putter by the 16th hole...

I have reasons to enjoy this as well but I have been watching Kaymer for a while and know he has got a awesome game.

Honestly? That's what I'm doing. I've got two screens going but I haven't hardly glanced at golf.

Haha poor Bosnian brotha already with an OG

They just mentioned it on-air, in 1992 Tom Kite won the US Open on Father's Day and another tournament on Mother's Day.

Meh. If Kaymer showed 1% the emotion that Tiger shows, maybe I'd get into it more. And I like Kaymer.

Agreed, Kaymer's perfectly fine and all, he just has the emotions of a robot.

If Tiger was doing what Kaymer is doing everyone would be going bonkers, but with Martin they say it's a boring tournament. Double standard.

Germans are not known for enthusiasm...

This is dead on. He's a great player, but he just doesn't excite the crowds or even himself. Pretty much a steady Eddie kind of guy. I wonder if the USGA is making a par 4 or two drivable each day to try and reduce the number of divots in the fairways for the women? Perhaps we'll see the par 4's that played long for men play short for women and the short par 4's play long for them.

While this has been on hell of a terribly boring US Open, I do really like Kaymer. Sure he is robotic, but something about him and his game I find really enjoyable to watch/root for. He's a young star and perhaps the one young player we have overlooked a bit. Fowler, Spieth, English, Reed, even Rory, etc...maybe Kaymer is the real future. Who knows?

This US Open still sucks relative speaking, but thats been this season all year.
