So fukkin True!!!!!


I took Fowler -140 over Matsuyama for round 2 and stuck it in an open 4 pick as well.

Is a 4 shot lead at the US Open a big lead given how hard it is to get birdies?

Seems like Dustin could coast on the weekend and win.

yeah not sure why we all didn't unload on him coming off that win last week, I was kind of shocked to see him at 12-1 range

Yeah, I agree it's pretty big and he's really good. Should be odds-on favorite. Hard to coast on this course though because if it somehow goes bad it can go really bad in a hurry.

I took him but only got +875. I took him a couple of hours before tee off.

you would think .... margin of error is so slim though.......
funny how you hear about players complaining how unfair the course is... but halfway through a player is sitting at 4 under......

[BigJay]

I have Dustin +875 as well. 600/5250. Looking great so far!

[ByeShea]

Seriously, they made a Local Rule because there are pebbles and rocks in the sand trap. I get it, you deal with the environment the course is created in, but the traps are completely man made.

There's just no excuse, and to have the US Open there? The USGA should have prepared better, don't you think?

I confess I had to Google it to find out that story. My opinion is that pebbles in a trap would be a curious way to judge a golf course.

And at that - wouldn’t a special rule regarding “loose impediment” settle that particular critique?

[Plaza23]

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.

Djax pulls a Mich Sunday

[cincinnatikid513]

dj might win by 10 strokes only thing might stop him is a flight of stairs

-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.

The more and more we keep stacking improbable factors like the previous winner never repeating, DJ's previous US Open and previous tourney rounds, etc. the more that -150 in the company of such big odds may do it's job of steering bettors away.

And that means the likelihood of Johnson winning goes up.

That's just the behavior of the golf markets.

[nyplayer33]

Previous winner not repeating is because of so many great golfers. He by far is better then all right now. I'd be shocked if he doesn't win.

[nyplayer33]

If DJ is up by 4 Sunday he will beminus 300

[jjgold]

He will be very hard to beat

A ratings disaster most of the big names gone like usual

[RudyRuetigger]

really hope fowler can make the move today

his ball striking is right there

otherwise might not even watch final round

exactly

i thought i said this but i dont read pages back

mike davis comes on tv to say toughest test of golf...no its most unfair test in the world

you cannot hit a shot 15ft long of pin like justin rose did at 7 yesterday, end up 30 yards away and chipping (he did manage par)

but same goes for fowler on 18 yesterday when he fukkin hit the green, rolled back and had 38 yd pitch and bogeys




and trust me usga officials are the worst

[jjgold]

Rose
Stenson
Johnson

Who we kidding?

[RudyRuetigger]

and wtf is up with all the bunkers PLUGGING

you have stones and pebbles in there, but the fukkin ball plugs?

piss poor

[ByeShea]

and trust me usga officials are the worst

You don't even know what the USGA is.

Just shut up and enjoy the golf.

keep up the insults without backing up your statements bro

[nyplayer33]

Bethpage black would of been a better venue...pinehurst number 2

[RudyRuetigger]

dead serious

most golfers do not like new york PATRONS

i did not take an actual survey, but id say 90% hate playing us open in new york city area

[krk1030]

DJ 1st in strokes gained putting and around the green, that will not continue. Odds are his approach game will though and things will even out a bit.

[jjgold]

Most of these guys do not have the insides to win

Johnson has done it as has Rose and I think Stenson

[RudyRuetigger]

love it

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

Rudy
What happened
