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

[BubbaP]

Just replayed his quotes on Sky, the dumbest hole he's ever played in his life & unbelievably stupid. I suspect the only difference between the two is that Speith appears to have been caught out with his comments on course to his caddie being recorded whereas Westwood has fronted up to an interview and spoken his mind.

Sure they asked him about it after the round also, saying it doesn't work as a par 4.

Hadn't seen that, they only replayed the on course conversation with the caddie which I assumed was it, apologies if he fronted up too.

This sky coverage is shocking every 10 mins there's an advert break, dread to think what the open coverage will be like.

It's due to the US feed and their penchant for going to ad breaks all the time. Sky try and fill some of these breaks with their own shots or going to an interview. They are only permitted four minutes per hour ad time I believe for their Open coverage.

In the last 32 mins we've had at most 15 mins actual golf.

They've just had a break 5 mins ago and gone for another one. It really is pathetic

I think = par could be leading after today round.

Rory, Rory, Rory. If only he could hole these chances he's giving himself. He'd be right back up there but I think that's 4 or 5 makeable birdies he's missed?

That's just today.

Ive said before his putting isn't consistent enough.

No need fella, I was just clarifying. Guess he couldn't say he loved the hole after being picked up on the on course microphones!

 

[JohnnyDee]

The more of this I watch the madder it seems to be. Amazed by all the plaudits the course is winning. If I was being kind then perhaps the best I'd be prepared to call it is "idiosyncratic



Edit

Can someone please beat the moron shouting "Ba-ba-booey" senseless.

Thank you.

What an utter farce of a course, well done the usga for making their usual mockery of the tournament.
I wouldn't play it even if i had a naked cheryl cole caddying for me .

 

[Jimaroid]

7 birdie opportunities for Rory on the back 9 and none converted. Shocking.

USGA unveils tomorrow's course set up for 4th round at Chambers Bay.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Day is out there but looking very shaky, hope he makes it through with no repetition of his problem.

Spieth suddenly 3 clear, holing puts from everywhere.

 

[BubbaP]

Spieth and Reed suddenly playing pants

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

J B Holmes with a fantastic eagle from the bunker puts him right back in it.

 

[garyinderry]

The fun and games are really kicking off. set up for a fantastic final day.

It's perfectly poised at the minute, just a shame ill miss most of it due to the time difference.

Got a few quid on Lowry pre tournament @100/1 so I'm a tad nervous/excited 😀😀

Perfectly justified in my opinion. To keep switching the par on two holes seems ridiculous; as Lee pointed out if the par 5 is properly designed it will be designed to accept a short iron, when playing it as a par 4 the players will be hitting a long iron or hybrid into a green designed for a short iron. Lee accepted it was a hard test, the guts of the complaint was that they kept jiggling things about. Three completely different tees on the same par 3; really?

Who cares about whether the green is 'designed to accept' a short or long iron?

They're all playing the same course and can go back to target golf next week.

Get on with it!
