Any of them can fall away. Reeds swing is as consistent as anyone's normally.
It was interesting to see the slow motion of Wolfs swing.
Twirly whirly backswing, but the downswing was classic. The bit that mattered.

Yes, Reed was just making some poor shot choices.
Regarding Wolff, if his backswing is designed to get him to the correct position for his downswing then he is in danger.. if not then he is probably going to have a decade+ of top golf. Really depends on his swing philosphy, does he just worry about through impact or is he thinking about hitting positions like Justin Thomas ..

Hope not. We have that at our club. Regular shots from main course often drift
( ahem, slice) to the fairway of the other course.!
I do agree with you though.

Yes for us ams I understand.
But if you only had one course and you miss it , it’s oob.

Believe it or not he feels like he is taking the club straight back. Hahaha


It's his swing. He has worked with his coach to sort out his downswing which is unreal.


He can also absolutely shift the ball.


I'd love to see him do it today.

Always been the way it is - he's got a long top level career ahead of him

Yeah his distance is incredible like Tony Finau ... I watch it and just wonder where did that come from

If I was a betting man I would be lumping money on Louis he must have a great chance, Wolf and Bryson must get caught out only hitting 2-3 fairways.

But I said previous that Bryson would have no chance on this course so what do I know ?

 

[Springveldt]

The 2 guys leading have shown that if you hit it far enough then you can miss fairways. This is supposed to be the toughest test as well, what happens when they play more open courses.
I’m wondering if we will see a shift in the pro game soon, especially if Bryson goes on to contend at Augusta as wel.

Anyone know what Westie's fairway hit stat is at the US Open?
See he's had a mini pop - "tournament used to be about hitting fairways & greens"

The 3rd putt was embarrassing, and continued to be. The first two were just how it is. Pretty unprofessional. If you are going to carry on like that then he should have laughed at the end, not tried to break his putter.

I haven't followed it that closely. Was it the Rory 'wisdom tooth' injury? ?.

I appreciate I have never been in that situation but I don't like the sight of pro's in any sport giving up like that.
