2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black [spoilers]

[Harry Longshanks]

They just announced that Thursday tickets are good for Monday, if they play on Monday. Wonder what they will do for Saturday/Sunday if/when it gets rained out.

I wonder if anyone listened when the USGA said:

Thursday tickets will not be honored and fans can throw them away,

and if so, how irritated they are now?

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Normally I like Karl Ravech, but he is just talking nonsense on the Marquee Group broadcast today.

 

[Smallville]

I haven't seen every tee shot by this group, but it seems like Cabrera is a fairway hitting machine.

Yeah, but it seems like he is starting to get a little agitated with the "slow" play.

Tiger just missed a 2 foot bogey putt on 15. Yikes.

 

[Smallville]

I like seeing that there's a couple amateurs atop the leaderboard right now. It likely won't last, but it's always cool to see.

 

[Smallville]

The commercial where the guys are trying to talk with a New York accent was great!

 

[Smallville]

I thik Harrington is missing as many fairways as Cabrera is hitting. Woods isn't hitting many more than Harrington, from what I've noticed.

 

[JB]

Cabrera complains of slow play in every single event. Enough already.

 

[Smallville]

Terrible finish for Woods (4 over the last 4 holes).

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Watching Els tee off on #1 right now.

I think I would shart myself if I ever had to hit a shot in front of that many people.

 

[Gummi Bear]

Yargh!!!!!!!!

Phil just teed off, and "Get in the hole" guy is on the tee box again!

In New York?!?! I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Hopefully this hasn't been already brought up in this thread, I haven't read all 8 pages yet......

Am I the only on that cringes every time I hear Chris Berman call golf? He just doesn't fit to me, I don't know what it is. I LOVE Boomer for his work with football, there are few better. But he's just not a golf commentator. IMO at least!

Geez. How lucky did Camilo get with his lie on 4?!
That group is looking good.

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Lefty had to hit a provisional on 13. Still looking for his ball.

Rick Reilly is not a great announcer.

 

[JB]

RR is trying way too hard when on the mic. He irratates me. Tries to be too comical.

I love this photo of him from yesterday:

Oh rats, I can't cut & paste from the slideshow. So here's a link to it: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124535337168728621.html#mod=article-outset-box

This one?

EDIT: From that same slideshow, another well-behaved NY fan.

 

[ClairefromClare]

Yup. Once again, I bow to your superior tech skills. :worship:

It doesn't look like a fairway to me.

 

[JB]

I love seeing Rocco play well.

 

[Smallville]

I love seeing Rocco play well.

Not half as much as GG!

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Ben Martin looks remarkably like Paul Casey.

 

[Geezer]

Watching Sergio putt is actually painful...

 

[AHacker'sHacker]

I am glad to see Duval is having a nice first round.

 

[JB]

Some big numbers by some prominant players.
