Well, that was a short lived sole owner of the record.Rickie makes birdie after driving it into the barranca. He needs a par on 9 (a par 3) for the US Open scoring record of 62. Birdie would break the all-time major scoring record.
Too late!Don't get excited about Rory....Don't get excited about Rory...
Pretty much. But boy does he look good.Too late!
No.Am I alone not enjoying watching golfers on an easy, easy course put up crazy low scores?
I’d much rather watch this than the boring slop fest at Winged Foot.As of right now it has the 2nd lowest scoring average of recent US Open's. Only Erin Hills was easier.
I think it's fun, it's different than just bomb and gauge.
And they’ll likely change the course quite a bit for the weekend. Or, at least, they can if they want.As of right now it has the 2nd lowest scoring average of recent US Open's. Only Erin Hills was easier.
I think it's fun, it's different than just bomb and gauge.
This is pretty much what everyone predicted. Low scores are out there, but if you're off by a hair the next round will be in the 70's.I’d much rather watch this than the boring slop fest at Winged Foot.
Went right underneath itDid Rory just miss the ball entirely in the rough?
That is my nightmare when hitting a lofted wedge, fortunately I don't play on many tracks tough enough to grow rough to this extent to make a miss possible.Think he went straight underneath it
Guys are starting to go through 14 and it is definitely cool. There's going to be a lot of balls in the front left section which is going to lead to super cool and creative chips. Wyndham Clark hit a ridiculous flop shot from the front left rough. Rory is in the bunker now, Brooks is on the green/fringe but probably can't putt it to the hole.God I can't wait for the front right pin on 15. Also Johnson Wagner on Live From earlier this week said todays pin on 14 is his favorite on the whole course.
So, through 60ish percent of the first wave today for the featured groups, carnage isn't the right word. There are birdies out there but the misses are being punished much more severely today than yesterday. If they get out of position, they are making bogey or worse. The greens are getting firm.For the carnage cravers, it's probably here today and tomorrow.
