Each player can still get 3 more points tomorrow max, so this lists the top player for each side and anyone on that team within 3 of that top player.

These are my tabulations. Not official, but at least triple-checked:

9.5 @mchepp (West)

8.5 @SavvySwede (East)

8.5 @jbishop15 (East)

7.0 @Big C (West)

7.0 @jamo (East)

6.5 @saevel25 (East)

5.5 @DaveP043 (East)

I'm still looking pretty good with my prediction of an East win and SavvySwede as the MVP. I just need the West to gain a few points on the East to make it a closer match. Good luck to all players tomorrow.

Hunters so superstitious, he wears his hat backwards on certain holes and I think he's been wearing the same underwear for the past three days?

S, spoken = (s)lander. Either way, the internet rumor mill will make it true!

In case you missed prior days, here is a brief re-cap.

As the sun rises in Phoenix, the ragtag bunch from East of the Mississippi is feeling confident, but not overconfident. @mvmac is doing his best Crenshaw imitation, but since there was no press conference and it was at breakfast, most of his team failed to hear his motivational speech.

The East opened up a narrow 1 point lead on Day 1. While the West tried to lull the East into complacency by sending out @mchepp with torture-like sleep deprivation, the ploy worked to perfection as he garnered top points for the day. The well-rounded East sent out their Jeckyll and Hyde team of @SavvySwede / @jbishop15 , whom @iacas forced to stay together as punishment for their Match 1 performance. The tactic worked as they have rebounded to the top of the East point getters.

Day 2 saw the East widen their lead to 5. Although the details of each match are still sketchy, because a shooter in the area is preventing them from letting us know what is really going on there.  But some random highlights/lowlights that we can decipher through the haze on Twitter include (I may be misinterpreting some things, or mixing different events together, my apologies):

Here @kpaulhus tries to hit a draw up and around to the right of this fence. "I don't play cuts" he was heard to mutter.

Here @iacas is shocked by a ruling on the course regarding the proper pluralization of "brontosaurus" after Barney claims he was away (14 brontosauruses to his competitor's 13).

Our first scoreboard for the day is below. New larger fonts for those trying to view it from the course in the bright Arizona sun.  I promise not to mess with you during the round by giving phony scores.  Play well, gentlemen. 27.5 for the victory!

    • Amazing US Open to watch. Of course I was rooting for Bryson, but a little part of me wanted a W for Rory. Hope this fuel Rory to win a major soon.  Interesting to see how much is going to take for Aberg to win his first major.  Scheffler is human, thank god.. we need more tight final rounds like this. 
    • This discussion and Bryson’s media figure reminds me of a trend you see all over the place in social media and Internet in general: staging. I don’t use Instagram a whole lot, but enough to come across videos that are obviously staged, but presented as happening randomly. It falls in like with the “fake news” part of the world where you can’t trust anything. People (influencers, celebrities, politicians etc.) throws stuff out all the time that are straight up lies, pretending ignorance, or twisted to make it sound more interesting than it actually is. Then there’s the overreactions. Youtube and Instagram are filled with thumbnails of shocked content creators “LOOK WHAT HAPPENED 🫣😲🫣”, then it’s some staged or stupid shit. I miss the time when most of what you found online was not staged or stupid. The sad part is that it works, generate clicks, ad revenue and people make millions on that stuff. At least Bryson is primarily a professional golfer. Bryson raking the 18th bunker while holding the trophy puts more of his face in the media. There’s no reason to do it, but it makes for some good photos and he’s building his persona. From the entire week you can see how he interacts with the audience way more than most of them out there. Part of it is probably just being Bryson and giving the audience something extra, but I always have the thought in the back of the head that it’s not the entire reason. Players being emotional, engaging and showing more of themselves than hitting a golf ball is good, but at some point you cross the line into being fake for the sake of attention.
    • It's not false if all they did was break ground but not build the thing until 2017. Again, the first "location" wasn't really a location if it was some dirt with a few ceremonial shovel scoops taken out of it. I don't think it was ever actually built. The second article doesn't even mention the first "location."
    • I couldnt find anything saying the first one was canceled so I assumed it was the same project. Admittedly the info on the specifics is limited. Either way, the original point of the earlier tweet by the guy was that no Payne Stewart named center was announced when Bryson started at SMU. Thats factually false. The fact that it ended up somewhere else is somewhat irrelevant imo. The two locations are only 10 miles apart as far as I can tell?
