Fox US Open promotional commercial

Surprised they didn't include a blurp about Bengazi and how Hillary Clinton set it all up. And wooo a minute to showing Easy Rider - Didn't those guys partake in a marijuana joint during the movie ? Not very Conservative in my opinion and not FOX worthy... Besides, how do they even have time for a commercial with all the Clinton Bashing. They are wasting money on her when she has no chance to win. Easy peasy another Bush is going to win it. All depends on who he puts in seat #2. They have more than enough money to buy this election.

Anyone catch the comments on CB... Going to be setup anti Rory now after his comments... Mike Davis will have it tough as possible. Looks more like an British Open vs a US Open... I will take a T to green guy...

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

I didn't much care for the ad - too disjointed, too many hurried clips - plus... What does Easy Rider have to do with the US Open?  A not so subtle dig at legalized marijuana in Washington?  Totally inappropriate!

I also agree that the above post is mostly very weak political rhetoric with no value for this discussion.  When you have nothing pertinent to say, it's best to say nothing. :naughty:

Hahahahaha, poor Quadhole. I took his post as slightly tongue in cheek. I didn't think it was anything to get up in arms about.

It goes way beyond just tongue in cheek.

Besides, why are you guys talking about politics... This thread is about the US Open..... :dance: I actually hope they set it up for the winner at or near par. That way we can hear the complaints... I will take Justin Rose for a top 5

So anyway… ;-)

I'm still excited for the tournament. Though I think we could see a pretty fluky winner, unfortunately, just because so many will be unfamiliar with the requirements.

Been a long time since we had a "fluke" champion in a major. Probably Lucas Glover in 2009. I would say Louis Oosthuizen was the last "surprise" champion but I wouldn't classify him a fluke given he's stayed in the top-25 or 30 in the world for some time now. But the champions and the leaderboards over the last 5 years in the majors have been pretty nice.

That being said, I agree you could see some surprise names up there, kinda like 2012 when you had Michael Thompson and John Petersen threatening to win the Championship. I do think if Rory is playing well going in and his driver is on, with his length he is no doubt going to be tough to beat. Only question mark with him will be the putter, but if he's putting for birdies and not for pars, he can get past that a little bit.

Was quite surprised to see the size of the gallery following Tommy Aiken at today's International qualifier. Until I realized that his wife was on the bag and she was wearing yoga pants.

Obviously worked for him as he made it in to the US Open in the play-off!
