2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay Discussion Thread

[ChrisP]

I hope Rory crushes Spieth at St. Andrews. That kid really believes he will win all four majors this year. He is not even joking. He really believes it. Crazy.

What's wrong with that? Tiger believed it in 2002. If you don't think you can do it, why play? I do think Rory wins at St Andrews, though, if the weather cooperates. In fact if the weather is perfect, I think Rory destroys that course.

so you are saying that he shouldn't think he can win - St Andrews will be fun to watch

[sye46]

All the buttheads that said they can't stand the tournament and won't watch anymore are probably still watching.. Chambers Bay provided a change.. and true entertainment which is exactly what Golf is for the viewer.

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of highest rated US Opens ever with all the controversy

He absolutely can. He broke and tied all sorts of scoring / age records today. He is the new face of golf, for the Americans anyhow.

I had a blast spending the week at chambers! Ran to the airport to get back to CO and was missing the end of the tourney but managed to catch DJ three putt then ran into jimmy walker who said the greens were absolutely terrible! I'm Bummed chambers didn't impress because it truly is an amazing course to play.

I am not saying its impossible but very unlikely. To be so confident about it, with such a tough field, is a bit too much for me. I hope Rory crushes him at St. Andrews.

[HawkNballs]

I hope they pair Rory and Spieth up at the Open.

[RollTide]

A little off topic, but I think David Duval needs to be looked at as a lead analyst. Love his commentary. Maybe when Miller retires.

David is an excellent analyst, there's no denying that.

He has bested the "tough" fields at the two biggest tournaments so far this year.   His confidence can only soar higher and that is half the battle.

Duval is good.  But the entire Golf Channel desk doing Live from the Open right now is better than literally everybody on the Fox team.

Now I want Rory to be crushed... So what if he believes he has the game for it. I believe he could easily do it judging by the last two majors it could happen. I don't know if it will but there is a good possibility. I don't want anyone crushed but Rory better cut out the hot and cold play.

I didn't hear him say he's going to win all four majors this year but an elite athlete at the level he's at has to be confident. He's been the most consistent player on tour all year, won the first two majors so it's not crazy to think he could actually have a shot at winning all four. It's been done before, and it'll be done again.

I ended up not really minding the announcers but the production was severely lacking overall. Hopefully by next year they iron out their kinks.

Basically before the US Open he was already saying that his goal was to win all four majors this year. Today he said he believed he will get it done. Now obviously he did win two, but I just think his confidence is boardering on hubris/arrogance. Even if he believes he will win the next two, at least be a bit more modest about it: Like: Lets not get ahead of ourselves, I will give my best.

I think hope Rory will crush this hubris at St. Andrews.

Sounds like sour Euro talk to me...

Am I the only one who noticed Joe Buck awkwardly call Bobby Jones "Bob Jones"? C'mon man! Let's just wait till next year. Oakmont is going to destroy the field

[Aguirre]

Oakmont is going to destroy the field

It destroyed me on Friday.

Again, Neal Lancaster shot 29 twice.  In back-to-back years.  Although I don't know about the -6, I doubt Lancaster did it both times on a Par 34.

Shinnecock and Oakland Hills both Par 35 second nines
