The bad shots are penalizing today but the good shots are being rewarded.  That is fine by me.  Hard should be part of the US Open but I have a problem when, for example yesterday if you were above the hole on 18 no matter how far above it was impossible to stop it before it rolled 20 ft past... thats just clown golf.  5 ft putts being breathed on should not roll 30 ft...

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

I missed Sectionals by 2 strokes this year.  I summarized my round here, if you or anyone is interested. June 4th is the day for Sectional Qualifying this year.  I'm not sure how many of the 500

This is kind of neat...each of the top 9 finishers had a final score (over par) that was equivalent to their finishing position:

Defintely a 4-way battle now. They set these pins up really easy so there’s a lot of birdie opps out there. Under par may win.

Some of the shots Fleetwood has played makes me want him to win.  I hope the course toughens up and his score can hold up vs. Reed/Koepka being on fire or somebody else getting hot.

Yeah, he played some stellar golf and course conditions will likely get tougher, so he has that going for him. His problem is that he had too much ground to make up and the odds are someone still on the course will shot E or better for the title.

I really need to look up how old Fleetwood is. I thought he was in his early 20's but he looks like he is mid 40's...

He's 27.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

With wind down, DJ and Koepka prolly got the power to get to16 today.  That could be a big factor once we get to that point.

I get home from playing golf (I played a Pete Dye course today, figuring if the pros were having a tough but enjoyable time I should too) and I see Koepka is playing tennis on hole 11 and Tommy Fleetwood might be able to afford a haircut.  

And Berger rolls in a birdie so as to not be forgotten.

"Dustin cannot buy a putt right now" -- I didn't realize this was an option in RoG.  Is it like buying a vowel in Wheel of Fortune?

Are my ears deceiving me or is Fox adding the ball in the cup sound from Golden Tee?

No kidding.  And once the Poulter/Grace pairing is done, that's it.  Why wouldn't the USGA simply start covering the leader group.
