Hey Horschel, tell us what you really think. Lol.

It's hard to take him seriously when every 4th word out of his mouth is "UHHHHH". "The greens were UHHHH, not that UHHHHH good today UHHHH.

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

Not sure I like Buck and Norman, but I have really enjoyed the supporting cast....bringing Gil Hanse on board a great move imo......Think Fox has done themselves well overall

He pissed and moaned about the greens. Said he's lost a little respect for the USGA and that it's not fair. :cry:

Horschel was overly critical about the conditions of the greens after his round. Also stated he lost respect for the USGA edit- CB1 and CB2 refer to the course setup where #18 plays as a par 4 or a par 5

I keep hearing (in this thread and elsewhere) that Chambers Bay is "unplayable" or "too difficult."  Are these people new to the US Open?  Because the leaders of this golf tournament are four under par.

Billy is a big baby What a spoiled brat Everyone is playing the same conditions Smashing his putter into the green showed his immaturity I hope he goes back and watches his reaction and learns something for it He wasn't good enough to win and I hope he doesn't again with that attitude I have enjoyed watching the challenging conditions

I like how BH said the greens made good putters average and not so good ones average. If greens are bad how do they make some better putters and others worse??

I typically like hearing when pros speak their minds but that was just dumb.

A little while ago Norman said (paraphrasing), "To be honest with you, he had a good night sleep last night."  He was referring to Day.

Now, I hate the phrase 'to be honest with you' in all occasions, but particularly from a professional broadcaster.  Having command of the language is important.  But secondly, why would he find the need to "be honest" with us over the fact that Day slept well?

Norman has been pretty disappointing.  He hasn't been very critical, and that's okay, but you can't combine that with being boring.  Faldo does a very nice job of not being overly critical but also being interesting and having a solid sense of humor.  Norman should mimic his style until he finds his own.

I think Buck has been fine.  He'll get better with experience.

The on course reporters (seemingly selected from PGA 94 for Sega Genesis) have been kind of shitty.  Corey Pavin is terrible.

Socialists will love this golf course.  disarm and equalize. plus save water for the environment. less chemicals. less fuel for mowers.  all courses should be like this. easier to get a starting time. Horschel will lose fans for whining about USGA which should go the route of the NCAA plus a possible fine. The roster has been spoiled and pampered and now they're on a track with greens like many publix linksers face. Our greens have 4 kinds of grass and every turf disease known to man.  But we pay and play. fortunately we don't have 60 yard run offs.

I think he wanted to distinguish it from all the times he's lied to us about Day's sleep patterns.
