missed a putt BIGLY

jogged over and hit it before it stopped

next hole he played it up the side of the green instead of just aiming for the hole

Lol

[RudyRuetigger]

more pros need to call out the USGA

chambers bay was the worst of the worst

[RudyRuetigger]

bunkers i believe are supposed to have 4inches of sand

this fukkin course has 10 inches of sand

should sell some to the playgrounds so they can afford windmills on the greens as well

[KVB]

phil showing what a shit show it is

no doubt he doesnt sign his scorecard and WDs

hes only playing now so BEEF can get a score without being by himself

Just wow.

Was a “special” Exemption given to him & Els by the USGA. Only 2nd & 3rd one ever.

The USGA had handed out special exemptions into the U.S. Open 52 times in the past, beginning with Ben Hogan in 1966. The last time the USGA handed one out was to to Retief Goosen in 2016. Before then, Tom Watson and Vijay Singh received exemptions in 2010. Only one player—Hale Irwin in 1990—has gone on to win the U.S. Open after being given a special exemption.

Dustin first hole...ouch.

Dustin first hole...ouch.

There's the regression. Maybe all at once but Rose chips one in as DJ chokes and Fowler eats shit.

Fawk.

Edit, I think it's the second hole he fukked up on.

[thechaoz]

Lol at Michelson hitting that moving putt

[jjgold]

ratings disaster going up against world cup

lucky if 400 people watching around world and a terrible tourney

[d2bets]

Lol at Michelson hitting that moving putt

That was bonkers. Might as well just drive home after that abomination.

[Plaza23]

DJ is off the rails.

+200 live now

[Plaza23]

Stenson and Rose are playing great today.

[KVB]

DJ will be fine, golfers around him on the leaderboard adjusting a little as well, like Rose and a bogey. I worry about Koepka a bit.

[cincinnatikid513]

fowler lol

[KVB]

[KVB]

[KVB]

Except that he actually did get the girl...

[Plaza23]

Dustin's gonna shoot in the 80s today if he doesn't get it together. +5 thru 7

[CWD]

Sunday will be free for all

[krk1030]

Finau and Berger +650

May be the final pairing...

[KVB]

Dustin Johnson has shot 7 consecutive rounds in the 60s. He's never done that in his pro career before. That's why I'm hesitant to take him now. He's at -150, and it just feels like the law of averages will catch up to him and he'll have a bad round in Round 3. Someone will go low and it'll be close on Sunday.

-150...I just don't like that price.

I like this thinking for most other "regular" tourneys.

But in this particular situation it really is a toss up. This is either the blowout it's shaping to be or DJ just falls off.

It's very possible that -145/-150 is the best price we see for DJ for the remainder of the tourney. If I didn't have him at +875, I'd feel the need to pay the -150...

I think we got our answer there, good call Plaza.

Fans will have to tune in on Sunday.

[RudyRuetigger]

dont kid yourself, zach johnson isnt the only one who thinks the usga lost this course

hes only one with balls to say it

hell, david fay just said this isnt how the course should play




cant wait til the poa at pebble next year

great job here

[RudyRuetigger]

just see koepkas approach?

CLOWN SHOW

[nyplayer33]

Mickelson should of been disqualfied....such a terrible thing...puts ball while it's clearly moving.

[cincinnatikid513]

just see koepkas approach?

CLOWN SHOW

yah what a joke 8 feet from the hole and it rolls into the bunker, these greens are a mess, hope they fire azinger he's awful replace with brad faxon please fox

[RudyRuetigger]

now piercy putts off the green

mike davis needs FIRED

[jjgold]

+5 can win this

[Plaza23]

Berger and Finau got so lucky playing the course when it was way easier, than what these guys are playing it at now. Made up 11 shots in one round.

Sure but tons of guys played at the same time and did nothing. They had incredible rounds regardless.

[KVB]

Everyone adjusting down to +3, DJ needs a birdie but either way it sure likes like he's the winner.

[Plaza23]

Finau/Berger final pairing...unbelievable.

Tomorrow is really wide open. If it plays like it did today, the winner could be one of the +8 guys that goes low and puts up a low number.
