Pretty clearly is having issues with his swing. He's just trying to hang in there.Rose has completely fallen apart in an impressive fashion. When it starts to go bad, it's always really bad.
Koepka just goes to his ball and hits it. He's fun to watch in that regard.Rose and Woodland are playing at a glacial pace. They’ve fallen two entire holes behind the group in front within the last 30 minutes or so.
Huge fan of that. Golf needs more fast golfers.Koepka just goes to his ball and hits it. He's fun to watch in that regard.
And because Brooks moves it along pretty quickly, and Rose has been in a lot of trouble for the past few holes, the final group is WAY behind.Huge fan of that. Golf needs more fast golfers.
Sorry for your loss.Jesus. Woodland may be lucky to get into a playoff with his nerves right now.
Well that was not going to happen. Since they did away with it.I was really hoping to watch an 18-hole playoff tomorrow. Damn.
Huh. Well, damn it anyways.Well that was not going to happen. Since they did away with it.
Brooks parred the last 6 holes. Meltdown?Incredible pitch by Woodland and meltdown by Brooks.
You have to remember, Faxon was always pleasantly surprised when his tee shots landed in a fairway. Or even near it.“Beautifully played” may have been an overstatement by Faxon. (Or whoever said it. Thought it was Faxon.)
However, in the fairway, which is all he needed.
Brooks din't meltdown, but he also didn't play well starting with an atrocious 2nd shot on 6. Then misses short putt on 7. Disaster 2nd shot on 8. Poor second shot on 9. Poor tee shot on 12. Poor Tee shots on 13 and 14 (poor wedge on 14) , poor tee shot on 15.Brooks parred the last 6 holes. Meltdown?
I was talking about on 18 Just off green in 2 and pars the hole. Getting to -11 might have put more pressure on Woodland. Probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway.Brooks parred the last 6 holes. Meltdown?
He needed to be in the fairway to have any shot at eagle and the 3-wood was enough club to get him an iron in while not having to worry as much about missing the fairway. He did say after that it left him an awkward distance and he tried to loft his 3 iron a bit but it came out too hot.Brooks din't meltdown, but he also didn't play well starting with an atrocious 2nd shot on 6. Then misses short putt on 7. Disaster 2nd shot on 8. Poor second shot on 9. Poor tee shot on 12. Poor Tee shots on 13 and 14 (poor wedge on 14) , poor tee shot on 15.
I was surprised to see him not go driver on 18, knowing he needed Eagle.
Agreed, definitely not a meltdown, but he has shown he’s at least part human.Brooks din't meltdown, but he also didn't play well starting with an atrocious 2nd shot on 6. Then misses short putt on 7.

Agree about the course playing too vanilla. Winged Foot next year should be good.That was a good, but not great US Open. We got a likable winner with a great story, the course visually looked amazing, a few big names in contention throughout the tournament and while Sunday did not have as much drama as most would have liked it did have it's share of Wow moments - Woodlands 3 wood!
I think it's a little unfortunate that the course played soft. I wish there had been some wind this week to dry out the greens a bit and affect some shots. In my opinion there were far too many red numbers out there on all four days. While the course did at times show it's teeth a -13 winner at the US Open isn't exactly what I'm hoping to see.
It was a good, fun tournament but needed a little more drama, a little more difficulty and a lot more Tiger.
