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

Excellent viewing over the back 9, just how a Major should be decided. Well done to Spieth (after nearly throwing it away)

I really think that shot selection & execution of the tee shots decided this one rather than on the greens
 
Was this the most intolerable crowd in golf history? I've never heard so many derogatory comments aimed at the players than you could hear over the mics at Chambers. US crowds are absolutely dire.
 
Just googled the last putt of Johnson. Didn't look like a choked putt, nothing particularly wrong with it other than it didn't go in. Did not see his first two on that hole. Would others agree or have I got it wrong? I like both Speith and Johnson but I think it is a shame Johnson did not win as Speith already has a major, I'm just a nice guy.

Wacky course. Get the greens right and they may go back.
 
Re coverage

I got most of my fix from the Fox sports feed (with a bit of Sky highlights) and have a couple of observations

Greg Norman was good as studio pundit on Fox

USGA were really good and heavily promoted amateur golf during almost every ad break, ranging from amateur comps to participation in the game, getting lessons, and the handicap system all voiced over by Samuel L. Jackson (I wonder if the R&A will make a similar push to promote the game in the UK next month)

No ad breaks in final hour as the championship got to the nitty gritty

Very (typical) corporate presentation and PC friendly (I got the impression even Peter Allis would need a lawyer sitting next to him to watch what he said)

But overall I think they did a good job
 
Wow. What a stunning final round. Best major championship there has been in a long while.

Johnson should have at least forced a play off but he missed a lot of short putts in the final round, none to do with the greens but simply his putting wasn't good enough.

Won by the best player.
 
Just watched the highlights.

Pleased for Jordon but gutted for Dustin.

Great round by Scott and a unbelievable back 9 for Louis.in fact 3 great rounds by Louis.

What a great finish to a very good tournament imo
 
I think it's right to criticise the USGA for the allowing the conditions of the greens to spoil proceedings but nevertheless it's been a great competition and the best players were contending at the end.

Really happy for Spieth to have won but it's another competition that's been lost by Johnson which is a shame.

For me, McIlroy was probably the best player out there all week and it just goes to show you get nowhere with a cold putter.
 
Just caught up with my Sky +ed finish from Sunday. And although I obviously knew the outcome I really can't believe DJ's 3 stabs from little more than 12 feet.:confused:

Feel sorry for him but it was a real shocker to be honest. Pressure and nothing more.
