US Open--Oakmont
 

Who has the mindset and the game to win this SOB? The layout is brutal, and the penalties are very harsh. Rough in spots is up to !0"!

And please, Johnny Miller, please don't relive your past here. It's a different game these days..........

I would take Fowler and Scott, tbh. But who knows...this course is absolutely murderous. I'm watching as much as possible.

I can't WAIT to see these pros look like me coming out of the rough around the greens!

Must see TV this weekend!

I'm a try a little Brandon grace @ 38-1 and Patrick reed @ 38-1. Shane Lowry @ 80-1 is worth a haff a hundo too.

Chalk is vulnerable here for sure

An FYI for those wagering, the weather here for Thursday looks really bad. Major thunderstorms and probable interrupted play. Doubt they get the whole field through on Thursday if the weather people are correct. The weather does look good for the weekend.

Winning Score +2.

That may be too optimistic.

And I thought only Byk faded me

I like the bottom right entry a lot, jms.

Took s flyer on Dustin Johnson to be first round leader at +1800

He will need to improve on his 55.6% Driving Accuracy to be competitive

Because we hit it so far..... Instead of Being in the fairway , we often find ourselves in the light rough. But the oohs and ahhs off the tee are worth it

Ugh I thought it was in

Would tied for first have paid?

nice job though...so, so close

It's a split would a been 9 instead of 18

Ticket Busters:
Fowler
McIlroy
Snedecker

The gambling gods are some M************

Nah , if they were he would a come in birdie bogey

I don't know why I bet golf. It's the ultimate "root against guys" sport. I can't root against people, even if I don't like em. There are some great value plays out there though.
So he has 66 foot birdie putt on 16. He Sallys it up there 10 feet shot. Calmly sinks the par putt like it had eyes. Bulletproof dodged.
Lays up on 17 and his wedge is awful from 90 yards . Makes big run at the birdie putt but just fades late . Tap in par
Enormous drive on 18. Nice iron to 26 feet below the hole. Beautiful putt... Just stays up.

Stupid hedging! Take out Sergio & Zach Johnson for Stenson & Holmes.

Talk about kicking myself in the ass

I don't know weather to ship or go blind. I'm too old for this craziness .
