Good luck everyone!

Hard to pick anyone but Koepka for the win.  The odds of him doing so are crazy unlikely... but it would be crazy cool if it happened.

I'm taking a sneaky pick and going with my boy Tommy Fleetwood. 

This guy is so overdue.  I'm actually surprised he hasn't already won a major.

I don't know why but I think Keegan Bradley wins it this year.  Maybe I am just mesmerized by the continuous club twirling before each shot!

After picking Rory in the spystaffslam I'm changing to Rickie. Two reasons, first he's long overdue a Major and Pebble looks decent for him. Secondly I'm going to buy a Cobra driver as recent demo's with it are just great. If it helps me it must be really helping Rickie 😉

That is the reason I went with Keith Mitchell as my tier 5 guy. I will be back to rocking the st190 this weekend. Although it will be the G version to cut some spin down.

I had originally picked Rickie to win, but since whoever I pick does poorly, I decided to pick Cantlay.  I think either could win at Pebble.

However, I also changed my Tier 5 pick.  When I made my picks Joel Dahmen was an alternate, but he made it in the field so I think he's got a great chance to finish high.  I believe Pebble suits his game.  However, I could be all wrong, and should have stayed with Kyle Stanley who I also think has a great chance.

Koepka hacked about being left out of the U.S. Open Promo... as if he needs further incentive 😮.  Can't wait to hear how they explain this one? It's like leaving Tiger out of the "Chase for 82" ad 🤣

Hey guys, just in case you didn't notice this is not the #SpyStaffSlam thread for the official Wilson contest.  This is just a general chat thread about the US Open.  Feel free to jump in and share your opinions, but if you want to enter the actual contest you'll need to head over to this thread...

Very interested to see how things go for Fox, as their US Women's Open broadcast was the year's best to this point of any tournament in my opinion. Also, interested to see how this alternate broadcast on Thursday afternoon on FS1 with featuring only the Brooks and Woods groups will do as a secondary viewing experience from the main Fox broadcast once it shifts there.

I read somewhere, although can't remember where, that Fox has some new technology they are going to be using. It'll be interesting to see if it's good or if it's like the blimp tracer.

One thing I like about Fox sports is they are willing to try new things. If we could only get rid of Joe Buck, it would make things even better.

I have always enjoyed the Fox coverage for golf. They are willing to try new things, and they do a great job of showing golf!

I still wonder why the other broadcast partners have not followed suit for their coverage. I don't give a hoot about seeing two announcers in a booth interviewing some former player, big time executive from the sponsor company, or even a current player. I want to see golf.

Sky Sports Golf is very good for that, constant GOLF coverage and when the US take a commercial break it's usually analysis of a players swing. Then our own adverts unfortunately then back to Golf.

Funny to see the fog roll in today. I live just over 2 hrs away and it’s 106 here today. When it gets super hot in the valley the inversion layer rolls over Monterey bay and doesn’t go away. I would imagine it will stay the rest of the week. Will make course much longer!

Yes.  I originally picked G-Mac in that Tier, but after he qualified last week for The Open, I thought that he wouldn't be quite as focused this week.  So, I picked Sneds.

Maybe someone mentioned it already; I haven't checked, BUT what does you think about JDay hiring Stevie Williams on his bag?  That might be just what JDay needs to get back to winning.  Certainly can't hurt.  JDay might be flying under the radar this week like BK did before the '17 US Open win.

just tuned in and they say today and the rest of the tournament forecast is pretty good, same temps but no fog/mist.

Hope they are right as it's a great course to view when the sun is shining.

Sorry I’m usually tame with this stuff - lost my head for a moment.

Love the Feinstein piece! It is once a year - guys like Tiger must lick their chops when the complaining starts. Someone will win, it’s best to go out, deal with the conditions and put yourself in position to be in the mix.

I love this venue because it favors no one. You need to do everything well.
