Did a search and did not see a US Open thread.
Rumors that the course will be 7700 yards. I hope the USGA doesn't trick up the course with that length, with high rough and narrow fairways combined with rock hard greens.
I normally dislike the US Open set ups and it is my least favorite of the Majors because of the ridiculous set ups. I know they want to really push the players so that all aspects of their game is tested - length, accuracy, shot shaping and short game. But I think they get a bit over zealous.
So even though DJ has been a bit off since getting hurt at the Masters, he has to be the favorite. Jason Day and Rory McIlroy have not been consistently good this year. Phil is out. John Rahm may be a dark horse with his length. Adam Scott has trouble putting for 4 days.
I'm at a loss for a clear favorite except for DJ.

Watch out for Brooks Koepka this week. Could be a nice surprise

At least you didn't pick the wrong players!
Can you go back in and amend?
Thought about Bubba who I like. But his game has been off, although he looked decent a couple weeks ago.

Lineups lock in golf once the tournament starts.
I'm gonna take a flyer on Thomas Pieters. Another up and coming European who showed his talent under pressure in the Ryder Cup.

Good choices. Fowler has played well recently and Pieters and Stenson have a big game.
Rahm, can get sloppy, but I really like his game.

Nope! Once the contest starts all entries are locked. Basically took $33 and flushed it down the toilet. Oh well.....if this is my biggest mistake in life, I'll be happy.

Sorry to hear that.
Rory McIlroy - Beautiful long hitter who should be used to playing this type of course.
Ricky Fowler - another long hitter that's playing pretty well recently.
John Rahm - seems to be near the top week in & out.
DJ - long hitter with great accuracy. Perfect combo for this course.
Looks to be more than fair by USGA standards for the Open.
632 par 5 - players going 3 wwod, 3 wood to reach. Unreal.
This is why we have 7700 yard courses now. Technology has made traditional lengths too easy. Really like to see some restrictions on the ball
Fowler and Reed did 3 wood - 3 wood. Even Spieth just hit a 3 wood 324. Probably caught the downhill slope. Crazy long.

but still on the green or just off in two on a 630+ yard par 5 is ridiculous.

I know clubs(especially drivers) are regulated for length. Did not know balls are not...

Had a birdie putt to finish, but a little strong.

The pilot appears to be ok.
It sounds like that part was a false report.
I guess having huge tits with a butter face gets rewarded.

I had Koepka and Fowler as my two high priced guys and did pretty well.
