I didn't realise they were playing 2 courses. The one I seem to be seeing most of looks a pretty bland US course. They don't seem to have tricked the course up, unless that will happen day 2, 3 etc.

I think the rough grass type is dormant now anyway but without checking I'd guess if you compare FIR for top ten men and women then long rough wouldn't matter too much to the women as it would the men

Turning into an absolute car crash for Maria Fassi - 3 doubles and 2 trebles so far today.
Well, she isn't going to be on telly any time soon.

The title sponsor has stumped up so that all 4 days of the US Womens Open can be shown with zero ad breaks
(so if you're seeing too many/any ad breaks it has nothing to do with the feed supplied from the host broadcaster)

Interesting to see that the "bombers" group all missed the cut
Always a lot of talk about the next generation coming of the US college scene having even quicker swing speeds than those in that group but so far the “distance players” haven’t really shifted the dynamic of the tour.

Golf Channel,
(I'm overseas so I don't get sky feed anyway but I know the number of ad breaks regularly get discussed )

Love Ko to make a run today and do it. Chance with Shibuno coming back to the field.
I know it’s a US open but would be good to move tees up slightly and make friendlier pin positions so a lower score can go win it. A few comments that they’ve perhaps got course set up wrong yesterday which due to difficulty and mud balls didn’t showcase standards as best as they could.
I thought 18th was odd with 200 in for quite a few.

At DP world, Fitzpatrick started very well.

4 under through 4 certainly is a cracking start. Approach shots very impressive

Would be fantastic if westy could sneak in there.
On the other hand, it would be a real blow to Fitzpatrick if he lost it from here.
Is there any way MP wins the tournament and Westy gets r2d?

I bet Lee Westwood has had more short range birdie putts than anyone this week.
Tee to green I suspect up there with the best this week

What a farce that drop zone was for Cantor. Such a bad shot not penalised.
Would have been a travesty if his subsequent shot had gone in

Haha. Turns out that there was. Pretty satisfactory outcome.
Re. Cantor - they only play that shot because the stands are there, so no point in getting vexxed about it.

Yes , I know why : the stands etc. But from what I could see, the DZ was too lenient, I think.
Why not nearest point of relief which gave line of sight. That could have been in sand ,or a bunker or some not very good place.
Maybe the DZ was that, but from what I have seen of other DZs on other pro courses, I bet it wasn't.
