Well, will today greatly resemble yesterday? If it does I think Justin Rose or Koepka takes it....or someone well back like Paul Casey finishing early. I imagine it will be hard but mostly fair and guys up top like Berger and Aphibarnrat fall way back while the cream rises and DJ/Rose/Stenson/Koepka battle it out. Not sure Finau can hang in there. Hoping Furyk can make it even more interesting.
If someone from early on can post +1 or E, they will win.
Ok, ignore that. I don’t see anyone going from +5 or worse going low. I think +2 wins it and I’m going with Koepka.
Sounds like they watered them a little more than the day before so that should put DJ as the favorite
The wind is supposed to pick up, but yeah some low scores out there.
It is annoying but that’s golf. You always get worried when the course is more worried about the score than putting on a good tournament because that’s when shit like this happens
Fleetwood rooting on yesterday’s wind to reappear
Mick...I mean, Tommy Fleetwood having a hell of a day. -7 through 15. Be on pace to easily be having the best day, if not for how Reed currently is -4 through 5.
Johnny Miller is probably shitting his pants down at the senior center.
God Paul Azinger sucks
63
We’ll see how long these conditions hold
If like yesterday he’ll win by 2
+1 or +2 gonna win it
Oh Tommy. What a poor putt for the record. Misread and didn’t hit it.
Back to back for Koepka
I really wish Fleetwood would have got 62. That way we can stop hearing about Johnny Miller and Curtis Strange all in one day.

Wondering if you are old enough to remember Strange winning back to back. Dude was calm and smooth.
Miller is irritating though and Vijay chocked if I remember to not beat him

I don’t mind Strange. Just sick of hearing about how he was the last back to back winner. And I was just shy of 5 when he won the 2nd

Well if you hear it anymore it’ll be with Koepka added. Strange as you would guess was quite arrogant
Pretty impressive of Koepka; wrist injury obviously fully healed. He could be a beast for the foreseeable future.

I remember this being said after he won last year...we'll see
Three tour victories and two of them were majors. Not too shabby.
He had a really good year last year. US Open win, T6 at The Open, T11 at the Masters, and a top 10 FEC finish. And then his wrist. He took 3 full months off to get healthy. His well on his way to many more wins.

posted by j_crazyDJ looks good, but in reality, this course seems like a place that a guy like DeChambeau or Rahm would play good at. My heart still wants Rickie to win, but I don't think he has it this week:
1. Rahm
2. DJ
3. Rose
4. DeChambeau
5. Someone like Koepke, McIlroy, Justin Thomas
Wasn't too bad with my picks:
Koepke won, DJ 3rd, Rose 10th, DeChambeau T25th (more like 36th but whatever)
posted by Laley23Rose is in the best form of anyone all year.
I hate Rahm cause he is a hothead and this course is gonna throw back to back bogeys at you.
DJ is always gonna have the game perfectly made for the US Open. Same with Brooks (lowest finish ever was 18th). My concern with him is the abbreviated season due to injury so far.
Tigers game at Memorial would’ve, IMO, won this week. If he is striking it that well again, with tougher greens to hit/hold, and more trouble (higher scores) he will win. His putting will be better on the faster greens, and the rest of the field won’t be at -14 under.
Branden Grace is rounding into form and usually plays really well at the US Open.
Sleepers...I like Grilli and List (both numbers across the board are pretty insane all season) and then Steele.
Tiger was a compete whiff. Basically nailed the rest. Grillo MC by 1, List imploded day 2...but that’s why they are sleepers/longshots! Steele wasn’t half bad until Sunday lol. Scored decently well depending on your format though.
