I'm an average golfer (shoot in the 90s) and I would shoot a 165 on that course.

I’m a good golfer and would guess I would go around 120, but hard to say. The Par 4’s I would rarely ever reach, spend 1/3 of my round chipping out of the fescue, hit some sand shots across the green and have some chips that don’t stay on the green. A lot of 3 putts and some 4 putts. I think about a +90 and just miss the cut

Lol it wasn’t cut. But I do wonder if I’d keep it around a hundred. I think the distance is what would eat any of us up, 7400 yards is disgusting especially in wind. Would be a lot of hybrids and fairway woods

Phil hit 13 out of 14 fairways and was 7 over.... And you wonder if you'd keep it around 100?

Haha how the fuck do you go 47-45

I'll shoot high 90's today at Oak Tree in Edmond OK. (where they did the '88 PGA championship). With the rough the way it is at Shinnecock, I'd be ball in hand on 16 fucking holes. Easily 150+

So what’s going to win it? Do they take it easy on them some Saturday and see some negative scores? As is I think about +3 would win it over 4 days.

I’ll guess tomorrow is similar but slightly better scoring, Saturday best day and Sunday similar to Friday

-2 wins it but I not 4 players better than +1

Johnson, Rose, Oosthuizen and Sergio

 

Sergio going by the wayside today:  +6 thru 10 holes; +11 for the tourney.

wonder what the cut line will be?!?

I'll say +7

Ian O'ConnorESPN Senior Writer :

Walking with the Tiger group yesterday, trudging through the unruly fescue, I don't think I've ever seen more oppressive rough anywhere. A solid bogey golfer couldn't legitimately break 130 on this course from the championship tees, with or without the wind.

Yes it is. 

And very close to a DQ. That ball wasn’t stopping any time soon. 

He and the wooly mammoth just laughing about it

I think he just 6 putted, maybe 7

Hit a  putt from 15 foot out, putted too hard and he jogged to get it because it wasn’t stopping before the slope and putted it again lol way before it came to rest....missed it and then tapped in. I think he had a 10 on the par 4

Ive never seen that on tv lol

Again, that has to constitute a serious breach. And he should be DQ’d. It wasn’t just slowly rolling by the hole. It was 8 feet by and rolling downhill.

Took him 3 more to get in after blatantly cheating. He added 5 shots after penalty and  Phil taking 5 from just off the green seems reasonable.....but I think the 2 shot stands.

That was the most amateur thing I think I’ve ever seen on tour

Phil is showing himself. He needs to leave.

Yeah, Phil is checked out. Dude should just go home. And no, Joe, he won’t talk to the media. He didn’t talk after Thursday and he didn’t talk on Friday. He’s a cry baby douche. 

It cannot be a 9?

Par 4, he was putting for bogey 5, putt it before it stopped for a 6, putted for a 7 from 6 ft,  missed, tapped in for an 8 + 2 penalty =10

And crazy he’s smiling about it. I think Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player might want to whack him with a 5 iron. He’s stealing the show from the eventual champ. Just stop it and leave the course.

It’s definitely a 10 if the original putt was for bogey. 

They’ve changed it to a 10

Phil being a douche? I am shocked!

He would smile and give the thumbs up if he was caught murdering someone.
