Undoubtedly. They also eased back on the pin positions a bit.Looking at the early players, they have really softened the daylights out of the course

I would bet +5, if I literally had to pick a number. If it's 10-15 mph winds, it'll be rough out there, even with the better pin positions.So what are people guessing the winning score will be? +3?
I’d put my money on Rose personally. He was favorite coming in and nothing he’s done so far has dissuaded me from that.No idea what the score will be, but hard not to like DJ
In fairness, in 1963, the winning score at the Masters was -2 (Nicklaus) and only 2 golfers were under par, the PGA was -5 (Nicklaus), and only 4 guys were under par, and the British was -3 (Bob Charles) and only 3 golfers (including Nicklaus at -2) were under Par.The 1963 Open at Brookline, played in high winds, featured a winning score of 293, nine over par. It was a memorable tournament. I think this one will be remembered, too, mostly because the USGA admitted it screwed up and misjudged the wind conditions for Round 3. It will also be remembered for Phil's disgraceful fit of temper.

Someone shooting a +1 on the back nine to win the US Open seems like it would be extremely appropriate. It’s the US Open it’s supposed to be hard.USGA screwed this up. The players don’t complain because a course is hard, they complain when it crosses the line and they aren’t rewarded for good shots. You hit it 15 feet from the pin you shouldn’t have to be focused on how not to 4 putt. No one is looking for a course where the winning score is -20. But today, when the leaders make the turn to the back nine, the guy who shoots +1 from there probably wins. Not exactly what you want to see.
Not Patrick Reed. I was okay with him winning one, but not two. And not Webb Simpson, because I hate him.
Let's gooooooooPatrick Reed winning two majors in a row and actually becoming the player that people wish Rickie Fowler was would be absolutely hysterical.
Beyond amazing, especially DJ's shot, from the fescue to 8 feet.Got the radio they gave me to listen to radio. Koepka/DJ had amazing shots in to 3 it sounds like.
I will be surprised if their total score today is below 150.and the final pairing both shank their tee shots at 2.
You're writing Koepka off way too easilyif DJ could putt today would have no drama
Not to mention several othersYou're writing Koepka off way too easily
I think he's talking about yesterday (and the first two rounds) more than today. DJ had 38 putts yesterday. The most in his career in a PGA event. If he just had a normal day with something like 28 putts, he'd have a 10 shot lead to start the day. He had 26 and 27 in the 1st two rounds.You're writing Koepka off way too easily
If he can get home no worse than he is now, +3, he's got a great chance. I hope he doesn't give a few back before he posts his score.Fleetwood is going to post a score, and it's going to become a war of attrition to see if someone can beat it.
I would place the over/under after the 7th if they don’t make a birdie soonWhat's the last hole we see Finau/Berger play before they are officially ignored by the TV coverage?
