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.

I'd like at my take of the event from a spectators point of view. I'm between a 9-12 index depending.... and play about 100 rounds a year. I've been in person to about 15 PGA events. I have never b

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

Players play, tough players win!

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.

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

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

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
