US Open, it's gonna be hard

[GolfSpyC]

Don't let scores from today (and  maybe tomorrow) mislead you. As soon as it dries up a bit, marginal putters are going to be exposed and the rough is only going to more gnarly. 

[Jmikecpa]

Looks like the rain is actually making the course play harder. Speith his one stone dead that spun into a bunker...ouch.

I'm excited for the US open this year. I'll prolly never get to play Oakmont but its one of my bucket list courses. That place is unreal.

[Fireinthehole]

I predict this will not be the first time I hear about Spieth whining or having a hissy about the course. Wonder how much the weather will continue to help scoring.

Not much longer if I had to guess. It may be soft but the wind is kicking up. Let the blood bath begin!

[Hula Rock]

Feel sorry for the guys who dont get to start today because of the weather delays.  Imagine playing more than 18 on a single day, mentally tough...

[The Dansome]

Tomorrow gonna be a beast of a day, still some rain in forecast too.

 

Tuesday finish?

Sorry problems with my mobile device. I'm watching and thinking this is very fair. Guys are getting what they deserve. Marginal shots lead to bogey. They are the best players in the world, there's nothing wrong with that.

I agree, so far so good. It's a long way from Sunday though (or Monday).

 

Once these dry out its going to be a different course

Greens getting much faster. This should be fun.

I've been watching this morning. Its going to be a long day for some people. Tomorrow may be very long too with 27 holes in store for the leaders.

Thoughts on the broadcast? I think Fox had done a far better job this year with visual coverage, however some of the color commenters area terrible.

 

- Shane Bacon looks sloppy. Button that shirt up and get some proper slacks son. His Twitter bits fell completely flat.

- Mark Brooks looks and sounds like he's collecting a pay check mumbling his way though analysis.

- Oh man "Brownie Points". Did anyone see the church pews edition? Beyond cringe worthy watching an old man draw emoji's in the sand

- I'm not sure Holly Sanders is right for this platform.

 

And the kicker! Yesterday a commenter proposed the question wondering if Frenchman Gary Stal had a croissant for breakfast... SMH

 

Anyways I'm sure I'll find more to rant about.

Every time they do that hole overview with Brooks and Saunders, Brooks has no idea what to do with his hands.  Noticed every time yesterday, he just looks uncomfortable standing in front of the camera.  Then today someone much have told him to just put his hand in his pocket.

 

Overall though I like the broadcast.  I think it's a vast improvement over last year and hopefully they keep getting better.  I really like all the shot link stuff they are doing (when it works) and the subtle green overlay that shows the breaks is kind of cool too.

[The Dansome]

Ya the use of technology with green overlays and shot link has been on point.

 

Brooksy.... I wasn't sure who to feel for watching the 17th hole analysis this morning.

[revkev]

The technology that Fox uses trumps any other issue IMO. Its very helpful to see the target and ball flight on nearly every shot.

 

On a playing note I like that we are having a tournament where driving accuracy actually does matter. Also it was interesting that when Spieth's group went on the clock they all hit pretty good shots.

 

I'm still reeling from trying to watch the NCAA championships. I was doing some painting at the time and was uncertain which would finish first. The pace has to get faster.

I'd love to say I have some idea, but US Open's have a way of taking so many twists and turns. And with 36 holes, that's a ton of golf left to play and there's a double bogey waiting on every single hole. If DJ drives the ball like he did yesterday, I don't see him going into the 4th round not in the lead. That said, leaders won't get all of the 3rd round in today..

[Undershooter]

I absolutely love the use of shot tracker. The green analyzer not so much. I don't mind it when they show it for a few but take that crap away the second a player steps over his ball. Everything is improved from last year though. Its not great but it's not bad.

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

Agree with the fact Fox's coverage is about a jillion times better than last year. Really like the shot tracker and the data provided. Don't even mind Joe Buck all that much.

 

Looking at the leader board - if no one challenges DJ I can see him winning. If it comes down to him and a couple of others, I fear the putter will let him down.

 

Could it be Sergio's turn????

Okay - the virtual hole thing is really cool.

Big key for me is that DJ has to be perfect ball striking yet again. His putter can't carry him. Day and Speith both are making runs. I have a feeling one or both of them will be close enough tomorrow that they are on the first page leaderboard.

I think for DJ it's all about the 4th round. He made an ugly double, but the save on 5 was awesome and he had to hole a putt to do it - 72 holes is a lot of golf on this tough of a course - I think if you can get to even by the end of round 3, you're still in a pretty good position...
