If one of these guys at 4 under can finish 7 or 8 maybe we have a different tournament. Right now it looks like the someone in the final game will win.

As one of those "fat old guys" who worked as a marshall at the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst, I resent this characterization, even if it IS accurate.  I know that the USGA prefers a few traditional things

I don't know. Kuch isn't known for being a great pressure player, either. A lot of his good finishes in majors are because of great final rounds from being far back. This is new ground for him.

If these guys get to 15 at -8, then I think it's safe to say one of these two guys will win it. Two reachable par 5s on 15 and 17.

Kind of a shitty time to take up to commercial and not at least do the picture-in-picture thing.

A part of me feels bad for the guy. Hes a good kid...a little squirly...but a good kid. But hes gonna start getting  the label of a choker and that's not a good label to have. 

No joke...I actually think he's panicking right now.

I don't care if it's the last round of a major, he needs to be put on the clock after this.

I agree with Miller, he should have gone back to the tee.

Yeah, but if he goes back to the tee he's hitting his 4th shot from 200 yards away. Now he's hitting his 4th shot from 50 yards away.

"You cannot stand there Mike" -- it's like Jordan is talking to me. 

Oh wait, is this Caddie/Player pairing Michael and Jordan?

I can't really explain it, but this whole episode has soured me on Spieth more than I thought anything could. It took him almost a half hour to hit that shot.

His tee shot's going to make it pretty tough though.
