US Open 2025 - Oakmont

[BrianM]

Don't know if there was a perceived better side of the draw, but a strong finish from Koepka

A winner normally comes from the late / early groups, was mentioned on the build up this week.

Wonder what's the thinking behind that ?

Relented and watched a bit of coverage yesterday. What a dull course. Almost on a par with St Andrews, if I'm still allowed to use the word par.

 

[Orikoru]

I didn't get to watch any and two of my bets are dead already. Rose +7 and Lowry +9. Sheesh.

As years have gone by, I've realised that I've very little interest in watching Thursday golf, and probably Friday as well. The leaderboard hasn't settled down yet, so the coverage just flies all over the place. Mainly between the high profile golfers, a golfer who happens to be near the top at the time (who could easily fall away before the we even get to Saturday) and the odd random golfer, who you know is going to hole a putt or hit a great shot, because, why else would they be showing them at that moment?

So, I'll probably give it a miss tonight, and then start watching it on Saturday night, when most of the focus is on the guys nearer the top.

I agree, there is nothing special about the course, from the little I have watched it. But, as others have said, the same is probably true for a lot of links courses.

It's not a course that makes you rush out and want to play it. Not interesting or attractive. Might be good for a major but I won't be packing my bags for it (yes, I am aware that they will not get a stuff about that)

I find it really interesting. Would love to play it.

I agree having a motorway running through the middle is a big negative

Hopefully the practice putting green is clearly marked.

Would be a big story if a player was DQ'ed for practicing from 9th green

Blue markers and a sign explaining the area where practice is permitted

What are people thinking the cut point will end up as?
Think it's +4 makes it in currently

Be about +7/+8 I think

Brooks looks like he fancies it looking ominous fairways and greens

 

[Neilds]

Whatever the cut is, Will Chandler won't be making it. Started double, double, quad, bogey to move to +17 after 4 holes of the 2nd round

Going to be at least 7 or 8 over

That swing sheffler made there pulling it left off the tee and trying to save it with his arms like zoro is incredible.
There’ll be stills somehwere, imagine showing that to someone 20 year ago saying this guy is dominating golf just now

Great front 9 from Hovland

Koepka is having a very interesting round

 

[Depreston]

Koepka is having a very interesting round

I couldn’t believe he got through 16 and 17 level par should have been about 4 over

He’s been rotten surely playing himself out of it

Great round from Burns

Some battling rounds from Hovland and Scheffler

Koepkas was up and down , some brilliant scrambling out there

 

[Barking_Mad]

Course looks very bland but the difficulty makes it fun to watch.
