Haha, what is the purpose of making something unplayable?

I am guessing he is instructed by the USGA. 4 of the 5 US Opens have been over par, I am not expecting it to be any different. There is no bailout for missing bigger this week so I would not be surprised to see a high winning score like +5.
Will Phil lay up like Billy Casper did on the long par 3? I remember him laying up on a par 3 earlier this year. Someone should do it!
JT finally calms down after being featured on the cover of PGA 2K and grabs a US Open victory.
10/10 are golf pridin grippers

you could have gone Bubba or Poulter and that would have been better than Sabawheenie.
[/QUOTE]
Honestly, I saw a few posts earlier that someone had to WD due to Corona and that Sabawheenie was replacing him. It was that easy.
Finau and 9/10
DJ at -9 and there will be 9/10 using Golf Pride Grips!
Looks like Spieth is paired with Reed. Maybe the USGA wants Jordan to quit golf.

I’m looking at this layout and wondering why the pros would hit driver at all this week given how long and accurate they can be with a 3w. Also with all the greens having severe slopes back to front, It would seem like front of the green would make the most sense on approach shots.
But back to the driver, I am not sure that gives anyone an advantage this week given how penal the rough is for wayward shots and how the greens have small landing areas relative to the overall size.
I’m gonna guess DJ and 10/10, but I hope I’m wrong and Tiger wins.
Reed 8/10
Cantlay 10/10
Rory

Cantlay 9/10
Sungjae Im 9/10
John Rahm 9/10
Tiger hitting stingers off the tee and take it apart little by little with his iron / wedge game. Then if the new putter grip works he closes it out.
9-10
Bryson is one of the few to over power the rough on his mammoth drives and rewrites the book on how to win at gnarly US Open sites with a -4 total. 8/10 with Golf Pride.
Adam Scott 9/10
•Spottedrooster
Xander- 9
Xander Schauffele 9/10
Fleetwood. 9 of top 10.
I’m glad it isn’t going to be too hot.

It’s like the most of us…3w is boring off the tee. I know there are many times where I should hit 3w, but constantly grab the big dog.????
