[Bill_Brasky]

Merion is a beast of a course. Can't wait to see the actual setup.

[Bill_Brasky]

Of course, yet another event(this time a major) is delayed due to thunderstorms.

I swear this year on tour has seen some of the faggiest weather ever.

[symple19]

Merion is a beast of a course. Can't wait to see the actual setup.

Course is gonna be soft as fuck for the first few days. Scores will be low (for the open, anyway)

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol what a clown course so far

the wet greens are like target practice for all the players

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol fried chicken

:lol Sergio
:lmao

Sergio, Mickelson and jeebotard Watson are the three players I want to see fail

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao Sergio quadruple bogie

Don't forget Reverend Simpson. Hope the douche misses the cut.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol Webb Simpson is a jeebotard? I didn't know. That's pretty disappointing.

the weather there must be awful. I'm visiting family prolly an hour from Philly and its gray clouds fo days in every direction.

Yeah him and Bubba attend :cry Bible Study :cry together.


Course looks decent. Started out playing kinda easy but it looks like some guys are beginning to struggle. Is it supposed to rain today? I heard some of the lower lying holes were threatened with a little flooding.

Well there was that 3.5 hour weather delay so I think it already did :lol

there's no way all the players are gonna be able to finish their round today unless they start frantically shotgun starting each group, wonder how they're gonna do everything after today.

Yeah my bad, meant to ask if there will be another delay.

As it is, they'll really be cramming in a lot tomorrow in an attempt to catch up to schedule. If it rains again, they might be playing 36 on Saturday.

You hate Mickelson because he's a S:loln D:lolvil? I actually like the guy, myself. Probably just because I hate Tiger and he was always the closest thing to competition until Rory showed up.

Favorite players today are probably Duffner(Auburn guy), Rory, Adam Scott, and Phil.

Speaking of Lefty, had a nice round today. Still leading at -3 (with a shitload of players still on the course)

Cause he went to ASU, cause he's a whiny bitch who said a golf course was "designed to hurt his wrist" and because he's a rich right wing asshole who complains about taxes.

:crypoor Phil Mickelson:cry
:cryprofessional athletes have it so tough in this country:cry

[Bill_Brasky]

Tiger with a HUGE par save on 5, putt was maybe 9 feet but had the difficulty of a 20 footer.

[symple19]

Tiger with a HUGE par save on 5, putt was maybe 9 feet but had the difficulty of a 20 footer.

He was all over the place. Whatever that elbow injury is, its affecting him. No way he wins

[symple19]

Phil was garbage with the putter, should have finished at 2 or 3 under. I'll take Justin Rose as the favorite right now. Stricker is a threat as well. Dude is due

(Still want Phil to win, though)

[Bill_Brasky]

Wouldn't mind Stricker, tbh....he has the game for this course. Mickelson is a choke artitlst so no way he wins. Rory and Tiger are both still in contention too.

My gf was calling Lefty a choker earlier, but I don't think he would have 4 majors if he was, tbh

(Yeah, he's definitely choked, but he's also one of, if not the most, aggressive golfers on earth)

Tiger is still within range, but I think the course will be too tough, especially when Woods still hasn't found his putter yet.

Shit is going to be brutal on the weekend. Sunshine means glass on the fairway and the greens. Not enough adjectives to describe how tough the last two days will be.
Whoever wins will be more than deserving :tu

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I hope Phil loses for his own sake. It would suck if he had to pay taxes on the first place winnings.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I also don't wanna hear about all the hardships his slut wife has had with cancer. He's pimped that story for sympathy more than Toby Keith pimps the US military for revenue.

Calling it now, -2 or -3 wins it. Even when it was "easy" guys were still having trouble. I'd imagine the only thing i'd like to see less on a golf course than US Open rough, is wet US Open rough. Now that the greens are gonna pick up it makes it all the more important to stay out of that stuff.

Also, most of Phil's chokes have come at US Opens. 6 runner ups, shoulda probably won at least 3 of them.

I'd be surprised if the winner finishes under par. The course is gonna be more difficult today and tomorrow with dryer greens, and several players at even or 1 under benefits from damp greens in round one (Phil for example who's putter went to shit yesterday). IMO it'll be a finish similar to last year when the winner is in the E to +2 range.

[Bill_Brasky]

This guy Horschel seems like such a toolbag.

[Bill_Brasky]

Tiger & Rory both birdie the first. Rory hit a great putt, Tiger's was spectacular.

Now Rory OB at the second.....cmon son...

[ace3g]

Tiger hits cut off the tee, ball sinks in rough on left side

[Bill_Brasky]

That 5th fairway is almost impossible to hit...

[Bill_Brasky]

Fuck these flagsticks, i've seen 5 balls hit dead center on those things and not drop.

Tiger coming up short a lot. Might wanna club up there big guy.

[CubanMustGo]

Pretty damned funny how everyone was saying how this short little course wasn't good enough for a major in this day and age and yet hardly anyone can sniff par.

[Bill_Brasky]

Nearly every analyst on the golf channel predicted the winner at double digit under par :lol

Which is why i hardly watch, they tend to not know wtf they're talking about.

[ace3g]

Yeah, and it's a short course but any US Open course, or any Major for that matter, will have tougher conditions than if it was for a normal tour event. Rough is a little thicker, pins in tougher spots, etc.

Ian Poulter @IanJamesPoulter
(http://twitter.com/IanJamesPoulter)Great sleep last night refreshed & ready to have a go at this US Open, it's shit or bust time. I must be clean carded & take my chances.

[Bill_Brasky]

Rofl Tiger, Merion kicked the shit out of him.

I want Stricker or Donald to win, imo...

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Eldrick Tont triple-bogeying the 2nd hole
:lmao +11

[Bill_Brasky]

Horrible putting display.....

[leemajors]

Phil making classic mistake of blocking fairway woods off tee ,so sad

[Bill_Brasky]

Can Rosie hold it together??

Phil is a choke artist, we all knew this was coming.

[Bill_Brasky]

Det Mickelson holeout.....

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Lol phil

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Why is everyone loling Phil and saying he choked? He just wanted to lower his tax liability by not winning 1st place's share of the purse. I'm happy for him.

[Durant82]

:lol Eldrick Tont choking in another major

His newfound ability to dominate until it actually matters, then play like unremarkable shit, is almost Bradyesque tbh

[symple19]

Didn't realize this until I read an article about Phil's 2nd place finishes... Jack had 18 runner ups in majors :wow

Tiger was hurt, he'll win the Open in July.

He was one of the worst breaks in golf history away from winning the Masters this year, so.....
