Golf: 116th United States Open Championship: June 16-19. Oakmont.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

After today its supposed to be gorgeous the rest of he weekend with dry conditions. Hopefully today is the last day we see -5's!

Landry will be a non-factor soon enough.

And I agree, J.Speith needs to keep his emotions in check. I don't mind it,, in fact I love golfers that show emotion, but I would hate to see it ruin his game......patience is a virtue at Oakmont.

Tomorrow there is supposed to be bad weather, as well.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

You guys worried about Spieth showing emotion must be new PGA fans because he's always been like that, he's known for showing a lot of emotion and it seems to be working out alright for him up until now. A couple bad showings doesn't mean he should change his whole mindset get real guys.

Where did you see Spieth blaming the course? He was obviously mad at himself...

Spieth has lately shown a tendency to let the emotions get the better of him and disrupt his game. He's said as much himself and has admitted that he lets himself get too bothered by bad shots. Expending that type of energy fretting over a single shot seems counterproductive on a Thursday at a US Open to me.

And when a player says "that's crap", logic dictates that one would assume they're blaming the course and not themselves. Especially when Spieth is clear in letting everybody know when he's admonishing himself.

Been watching golf since the mid-late 90's, by the way. Hardly "new".

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

I still think Bryson DeChambeau is nothing more than a middling player going forward but that was a beauty pitch he played there at 17. Landed that on a dime.

What a ****** break for Duf. One bounce, hits the cup, bounces all the way to where he pitched it from. That's a killer.

Was mostly referring to the comment about Spieth's emotions potentially ruining his game when he's been like that ever since he joined the tour, even when he had some of his best rounds he'd get mad at the occasional miss.

Yup, beautiful, clutch shot.

I'm as big a fan of his as they come & you nailed it.

Expect Landry to do what Dechambeau is doing right now.

Tomorrow there is supposed to be bad weather, as well.

FRIDAY:


This is the forecast for tomorrow according to the local Pittsburgh newspaper.

82°F

60°F
Clouds giving way to some sun and less humid

 

[Hire Sather]

Why are you allowed to hit a provisional and then hit another tee shot if you're not happy with it?

I agree with you about DeChambeau. His amateur accomplishments were good, but they were all within a year, and at an age where most of the top golfers his age were already professionals.

I just checked weather.com, and it seems like it'll rain a few hours before play starts, so you are right.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Whats a good score today?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The weather forecast does not look good for the rest of the day. Its unlikely the first wave will finish their first round.

 

[542365]

Going to be a long day of golf tomorrow

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Monday finish at this rate.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

are you ****ing kidding me i just got home from work

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Soakmont

 

[Dr John Carlson]

When I heard over the radio at work that Andrew Landry was leading the US Open, I thought he must be some amateur with a nice story catching fire. Then I get home and find out he's a web.com Tour scrub. What a letdown.

Also, if this leads to a Monday finish, I am going to be pissed.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

There's a chance 72 holes could finish on Sunday, but they probably will need to use almost every hour available, and the networks probably won't like the hours the tournament will have to be played at.

Don't forget that the US Open, if tied, is an 18 hole playoff the following day (so it could even end on Tuesday), so I am sure they will anything they can to finish on Sunday. Doesnt bother me as I am currently unemployed so it gives me something to do/watch.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

18 hole playoff is silly

FINISH ON SUNDAY

 

[PanthersPens62]

Sunsets in The Burgh this time of year tend to be around 9PM & sunrises tend to be before 6AM so they can get a lot of golf in.

Luckily, I have Monday off just in case......I always try to schedule the Monday after The US Open Sunday just in case of Monday finishes.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does anyone else think this course is comparable to how Muirfield played in 2013 at the Open?

Its not a very long course, but there are some really long iron shots that players need to hit. The greens are incredibly difficult, you can run shots up onto some of the greens. I think this US Open is playing very comparable to how the 2013 Open Championship did.
