US Open Thread-***May Have Spoilers***

[Slab]

Well today's the day, been looking forward to this one so much

Started a separate thread to Chambers Bay etc with the spoiler warning so we can post updates and thoughts on the championship as it unfolds

Drawn Kaymer & Garcia (among others) in office sweep so will be keeping fingers crossed for them

I think the winner will come from the guys who embrace the challenge the course is sure to provide rather than those having a moan

Hope Monty & Tiger do well too & who could be disappointed if Phil or Rory come out on top. I really cant see any downside regardless of who wins on Monday morning

Play well guys....

Yep. As Ray Floyd said when he won the 1982 USPGA in 40 degree heat: they've still got to crown a champion. Or words to that effect.

I had a notification on my phone from Golf channel saying

"Woods finally arrives in Chambers bay"

Cutting it a little fine!

Course is looking ridiculously tough , going to be so many good shots that will be penalised .

Going to be great viewing though , what a night for the missus to book a meal out with her parents 😩

It's just a shame the good stuff is going to be on at silly o'clock. I'll have to watch the final round Monday evening from recorded!!

least that way you can skip the AG and betting ads and just watch a bit of golf.

Yeah the time diff is not ideal, although for me I'm planning to get up an hour early on Monday morning to catch the last 6 holes before leaving for work

I thought it finished at 3/4am?

That's an early start on a Monday!!

+ another 3 hours for me, so a 6-7 am finish

Still dark there but you can just make out grass-cutters and other small course vehicles heading onto the course, clocks ticking...

Yes, looking forward to this. Make a change from target golf we see week in week out.

Is anyone running a book on who moans about Sky's coverage first and at what time?

 

[Dan2501]

Bloody Sky. Why's it not live from 3 so we can get to watch Seuk Hyun Baek, Steve Marino and Marcus Fraser?!

Is it on the red button earlier?

Woods has been at chambers all week practising so that's a load of tosh(think even end of last week he was there)... He even commented about how it will be interesting how furyk and some others get on as they only arrived Wednesday.

His caddie told him he should go early due to the course and he said he's glad he listened!

 

[Dan2501]

Watching Rory on the range on the Golf Channel right now, and I could actually watch him hit balls all day. LOVE his swing.

 

[Dan2501]

Chambers Bay claims its first victim. Josh Persons kicks off with a triple bogey 7 on the first. Ouch.

Tasty pin positions:

Not going to be many guys going straight at the pins today!
