Surely with this rough being cut so short and the course being so long is going to play into the long hitters hands,even the guys that dont top the driving accuracy stats who are long will have the edge and that wipes out 3/4 of the fields chances of winning.This is looking more like DJ's tourney to lose.

Absolutely ridiculous cutting the rough after players moaned about the length of the it,poor lambs lets just hope Carnoustie plays as tough as ever for next years Open and they dont listen to the players wimpy complaints.

From what I heard, the rough was cut in certain areas due to it being excessively wet and having been blown flat by the storms that came through earlier in the week.
Rory's right up to a point.
If you hit it offline then you should be punished but you should still be able to find the ball.
I wonder how long it takes for Rory to find it..? I bet they all go in it at least once or twice..

would they be moaning if they hit one offline and it ended up in a lake? there are plenty of courses on the circuit that are full of lakes to catch wayward tee shots. replace the lakes with high rough and they all go Nutts

Maybe because they'd be 3 off the tee rather than 3 from the lake......

Or having to go back to drop and play again. Perhaps they'll play smart and hit a provisional immediately they see a ball go into the rough, if and when.

The fairways are huge in some cases 100 yards wide,now if your qualified to play in a US Open should the rough really be a concern? And frankly if your missing GIR's where off the green the rough is long your not good enough.The winner will rip it off the tee find GIR in the correct place on the green and have a good putting week .

Rickie Fowler for the win!

Can't see a US Open thread so this is as good a place as any.

Whilst we're sharing. Here are some tips based on performance indicators - http://www.thestatszone.com/articles/the-2017-u-s-open-preview

I quite like the Lowry tip, to be honest!

course looks utterly stunning to me, not sure Rahm would agree with you either!

Tough start for Rahm and Matsuyama. Both just found the fescue either side of the 5th Fairway. Fowler down the middle with a driving iron. Rickie looks on it today!

 

[fundy]

Billy Horschel just made 9 at the first, long week from there!

 

[BomberSRL]

Some savage scenes on the par 5 for both of them at the moment!

Hideki's just eagled his face. Really lovely.

Rahm having a mare. He's showing his age and letting it rattle him. I can see him blaming the bird song soon :mmm:
