That’s a big break being able to get free relief there.

I feel like I should be trying to find the hidden image in his shirt.

You and I have very different views on what constitutes a good shirt.

I’m not necessarily rooting against Burns or Spaun, I just want to see drama.

I think the guy in 3rd, 2 off the lead, hunting for his ball on the first hole is relevant coverage. I’d rather see that than some guy no one’s ever heard of tap in some meaningless, context free birdie on the back 9.

Did they show someone other than Hovland in the bushes and I not see it?

Rory has absolutely nothing this week.

There is zero wind here today and the clouds are mostly burnt off. It was really pleasant this morning with cloud cover and slight breeze but it is getting really muggy.

Rain overnight Friday into Saturday. Course will be softer and gettable Saturday morning for the guys that manage to fight below the cut line.

He got really lucky on his front 9. Way left on one but it was so far left he ended up on top of the grass that was trampled down by the spectators. He left a chip short on 2 that would have rolled back down the slope a couple hours later. He had a pitch out of the rough that landed short and would have stayed in the rough more often than not but bounced it onto the green.

That bit of firmness since this morning has really brought out all of the little nuances in the greens. The margin for error is so much tighter now than it was this morning.

Makes double anyway. That first putt through the valley was really bad.

The greens were really receptive early this morning. There was definitely a window where you could make some birdies if you stayed out of the rough. That window appears to have been closed. At around 9:00 this morning there were 10-11 guys under par.

Bryson just made a massive putt from the fringe to save bogey after making a mess of the rough. If that putt slipped by he’d have had a tough one for double.

Bryson’s shot into the 2nd green for example. He left it short and it started to roll back down the hill but stopped. I think they were expecting those to roll the whole way back. It was also 7:30 am and the greens were still damp. There have been a number of shots like that that seemed to be right on the edge of turning into dropped shots.

Seems like the greens are a good bit more receptive than they’d like them to be. Will be interesting to see how fast things get this afternoon and tomorrow.

Number 6 has been removed from the itinerary. No 3 moves from that afternoon to an early morning slot and no 10 gets added in that afternoon. Mid pines, 2, 3, 8, 10, cradle.- 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
On the par discussion, the par 3 #8 is 290 yards on the card. Par 4 #17 is 310. It’s possible that at some point 8 this week 8 will play longer than 17. 8 was designed to be a par 3 played with a wood and the entrance to the green is 25 yards wide. 17 is a risk/reward short par 4 and the green entrance is 9 yards wide. Last open 8’s scoring average was 3.3, 17’s scoring average was 3.8.- 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
The number of shots a hole was designed to be reached in plus 2 putts.- 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
The data isn’t just from the pga tour, it’s just the benchmark. It includes LIV data, dpwt, Asia tour, others. His driving accuracy, in LIV events and majors combined, is lower than the average driving accuracy of the players on the pga tour. And it’s currently the highest his accuracy has ever been. It’s still not good, it’s just not as bad as it used to be. From a strokes gained perspective, his game as a whole is the best it’s ever been.- 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
I fully expect him to contend. The course will play even harder than it was that day, but if there’s anyone capable of muscling it out of the rough this week it’s him. I just think it’s a less than ideal way to attack this course. I hope he’s a least in contention on Sunday. I love rooting against him.- 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
He’s currently below tour average in driving accuracy. He hit 5/14 fairways in the final round last year, a number of them well into the waste area where he just kept coming up roses.- 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
Coming out of the rough onto greens rolling at 15 is a different activity than ones rolling at a 10. Can he do it? Of course, winged foot showed that he’s capable of just bombing it over the top of the course’s protection and since everyone was in the rough, it’s better to be longer and in the rough. We’ll find out in a couple days if Oakmont can be bombed over. Or if it’s is still a course that requires accuracy and smart play. - 2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
