US Open chat, comments, etc

[TonyN]

Ok little place for us to all have a chat about the open.. anythin from coverage too scores... good shots too bad etc.

Talking of bad shots, only been watching for about half an hour and seen two stinkers. Immleman in a bunker approaching the short par 4 and I think it was cabrera pulled one of his tee shots way left. Is this first day nerves, do pro's get nervous?

Just goes to show though that these guys are human and the next time I pull my 3 wood, it wont seem to bad.

Rose with a Birdie start! COME ON!

And Padraig just bagged one too!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Garcia +3 after 2 - HID is not happy as he is in her dream team

 

[TonyN]

Edfors chunks his wood then duffs it sideways, whats going on?

As for streelman, he seems on fire, -3 and a huge putt that jumped out of the whole! Late night for me!!!!

I am going to look like a Panda come Monday,will get no sleep at all.

There is nothing like a Major,you could feel it in the clubhouse this evening. Just something in the air.

Did anyone see the guy who fluffed two consecutive chips? I can't remember his name but I couldn't believe it. It shows how tricky the rough must be.

 

[TonyN]

Yeah Edfors it was, (see above)
Crazy wasn't it, just dont see that on the tele.

GGGGRRRRRR!!!!! Garcia is really testing my like for him tonight. SORT IT OUT.

Romero is battling to win me some money, good lad.

How hard is the 3rd hole!! And with all the snakes, no chance of me going down off the green to get my ball.

 

[Nico]

Played with a guy today who got 80-1 on Karlsson!!

It all looks unplayable to me,not sure I could break 100 out there.

 

[TonyN]

What is with Garcia's putting. He misses by miles.

Aint seen it yet but I think rose has bogied the 2nd. He was 1 under after the first and the sky sports website has him level after 2.

He was only a few feet away after his second I think so has he made a dodgy 3 putt?

 

[HTL]

SERGIO!!! Why? Why do you make it so painful to watch you at times and so good at others. That shank was as bad as me!!!

 

[theeaglehunter]

Garcia's re-gripping habit is annoying me as well. The trouble is since I changed my grip I now do it once or twice when first setting up. I really need to get it out of my system and watching him do it 5 or 6 times a shot doesn't help.

Also is it me or are players finding it too easy out of the bunkers? I just saw justin Rose hit a great approach from a bunker and earlier in the day I saw someone struggle to reach the green when they hit it in the rough just off of the fairway about the same distance away. The bunkers seem to be a preferable option.

 

[TonyN]

NOOOOOO you said the J.R word.

I also do this re-grip thingy with the putter as I just changed and I find it a bit uncomfy at the moment but it is a great new grip.

Rose's bunker shot was ace. but what did he finish with on that (was it the second?)

Also, considering the greens are meant to be lightening quick, alot of putts are coming up way short!

Hi people! I have no idea what a sopcast is, nor any idea how I got it running, but I just managed to get the golf online. So here's to a few hours good viewing & good company.
Just in time to see Donald get back to back birdies....

 

[TonyN]

Nice to have you onboard, out of interest, who else is Sopcasting?

 

[TonyN]

has singh just hit his driver off the fairway?

 

[theeaglehunter]

Out of interest do you guys watching think the course is playing/ going to play harder in the afternoon than it did in the morning? They have mentioned numerous times about the green drying out but I can't see much difference as yet.

 

[TonyN]

I did mention before that alot of putts where coming up way short so, is this eveidence of players struggling for pace? Its bound to change as the grass grows. ( can the grass grow enough in a day to change the pace notably)

 

[mick]

wtf is garcia doing to me 40 quid i shot on him this afternoon,think i woke HID up twice screaming at the telly,other than him i'm enjoying the golf

 

[TonyN]

Untill Segio has a putting transplant, I will never back him. He missed a 3fter by a whole cup width that he could of tapped in with one hand!
