Rickie Fowler is playing the near perfect round up to this point, hitting the ball unbelievably well.

Oh dear,the USGA have blundered here with Fowler at -6 after 11 and the field not far behind 
oo:oo:,the only thing they can do now is let the greens bake,but I bet they are ruing cutting the rough.....

Only if youre desperate for the winning score to be level par (which was always highly unlikely on a par 72 course)
Fowlers round been a joy to watch round a stunning golf course, the big factor been the rain theyve had the last few days has taken the sting out of what is supposed to be a fast running course. Only have to compare his round to the 2 hes played with to see decent golf rewarded whilst wayward off the tee being punished
Expect some of the pin positions tomorrow may be a bit fruity though
Plenty the USGA will do to make it harder. Tees further back, firmer greens and some devilish pin positions. I like to see a US Open that's tough but it has to be playable too. If players play well like Fowler has today they deserve to be able to post a decent score under par

how do you firm up greens when it rains ? plenty more forecast for the next few days
They have already said in commentary that the winds are drying and firming them today which will make it harder for the afternoon players. If the wind continues to blow then I can still see the greens drying and firming up

That fescue looks brutal. Don't they have a tame Poldark with a scythe to cut it down a smidge?

Just reading that Bubba has missed a fairway that is 78 yards wide. That's got to be a wind up.

Awkward when after saying people who miss 50-60 yard corridors have no real business being there you end up missing them by another 25 yards

All he was saying is if you are that wide you deserve to be in trouble. If you asked him now I'm pretty sure he'd say those shots were so bad he deserved what he got.

Exactly. And if he carries on, he won't be there at the weekend, just as he said he shouldn't be.
Was like a slow motion train crash watching him and Day last night. Rose did well to keep his head.

The Golf is great fun. Some of the shots showing players apparently up to their necks in the rough are splendid. And good to learn from them how to get out of deep rough - how to take your medicine.

Well, there's a thing... Casey & Fleetwood. Who'd chalked it up as being them as the final pairing on day three? Good luck to both of them and hope one of them can see it through

Fleetwood could plod away for the win but I fear for Casey who has a history for choking at the end of a tournament.There was 2 seven under par rounds yesterday,incredible golf on that course thats now playing tougher as it dries out.

I hate the casual use of "choking" from people who may , just may , never been in the mix at high level in any sport.
I hope you are proved wrong for a number of reasons one of which ,I have Paul Casey in the sweep at the golf club.

I think Casey proved himself with the bounce back after carding an 8 yesterday. No choking going on there. Just because someone doesn't win doesn't make them a choker, otherwise nearly everyone out there would be! He's a quality golfer, if he plays with fleetwood it could be good for both of them. Fowler will come back today I think too
