US Open - Winged Foot; Mamronek, NY
Who do you like?
I went with:
Tier 1: Schauffele
Tier 2: Fleetwood
Tier 3: Hovland
Tier 4: Day
Tier 5: Niemann
Tier 6: Munoz
I don’t know who is going to win, but it’s going to be a massacre. And it’s going to be awesome. Head superintendent said he wanted the winning score to be +8, so that’s how they are setting up the course. The rough is going to be disgustingly long. Going to be a “real” US Open.
Over 7,400 yards and par 70 ......then add in US Open conditions and amazing green complexes running at 13 on the stimp ........look out.

+8 is dumb
+1 wins

Yeah, I don't want to see +8. I'd like to see anything from -2 to +2 win it.
This tournament always brings to mind the most unbelievable tournament performance in my lifetime - Tiger's 2000 US Open win. I'm 50 years old and cannot recall a more dominating performance in any sport like that during my lifetime. Still unbelievable to me.
+8 won’t be fun. That would be watching guys shoot 80 and move up the leaderboard. Give me E (+/- 1 or 2) and I’m happy.

Yeah that was crazy
An amateur leading so far at -3.
Tiger's ball just got swallowed by the thick rough. Yikes.
Man, everyone is putting their tee shots in the thick stuff.
Morikawa have a rough go of it. Already +5.

After only hitting one in the rough during all his practice rounds lol.
The greens are pretty soft right now. Guys still struggling when they get out of position though. Expect these scores to go way up on the weekend if they don’t water.
Tiger back to E after sinking just the 3rd birdie of the day on 16.
Tiger having trouble on 18.
+3 on the last two holes for Tiger. In the clubhouse at +3.
JT the leader at -5.
Bryson looks like an overstuffed sausage.
Saw this factoid on the US Open site.
In Thursday's opening round, a total of 21 under-par scores were registered, nine more than were recorded for the entire championship in 2006.
Going to play differently today, no doubt.
Rickie needs to turn it around here.
A 380 yard tee shot sets Bryson up for a 10' eagle putt on his last hole of the day.
And he sinks the putt for a 68. Nice round.
