The constant, loud drone sound is super annoying.

Leaderboard is great at the top. Who cares about the scoring, just going to enjoy these guys grind it out as the course plays harder through the weekend.


Amen.

seriously...who are these guys finishing. Primetime golf on NBC and we have a bunch of weekend hackers out there. Ok, not really, but you would think they would have put a couple headliners in there to finish this thing off.

There is not much you can do to protect the course from the best players in the world when your fairways are 50 yards wide and your greens are receptive. Even from 200 yards these guys can launch 6 or 7 iron a mile in the air with tons of spin.

The USGA should have known this. Their only hope is to just stop watering the greens or the winning score is about to be -15

I'm very curious what TF was said/yelled at Rory on 18. Really jacked with his game.

Due to the size and layout of this year's US Open golf championship, the USGA limited the sales of spectator tickets to something around 22,000 per day. The USGA is having a fan fest site next door at the Century City facility.

Heard on the broadcast I believe that there are fewer tickets to this year's open. Also that other poster who was there today said it's a pretty crummy course for spectators.

Just saw that Ryo Ishikawa is -1 at the tourney. How did he even get in/what has he been up to?

Come on USGA. I want to see these boys squirm. 62 in back to back groups is ridiculous.


The USGA lost their teeth when that new guy came in with his "tough but fair" ideas for setting up the courses. We've had 3 straight years of -6 winning it and so far this tournament is starting to look like Erin Hills in 2017 and Congressional in 2011. It's looking like the PGA Championship will have been a tougher challenge this year.


The USGA has shifted from making things impossible to going to putting the best players on the best courses in the country. Part of that is host clubs and courses not wanting the USGA to wreck the architectural integrity of their course and ruin play for their membership for months.

It's refreshing.


Things were not impossible because winners were still able to shoot -1, E or +1. That's what the US Open is supposed to be. It's supposed to be the toughest challenge in golf. I don't like this "tough but fair" stuff.


It's day 1. The USGA doesn't want to lose this course like they usually did (Shinnecock, Chambers), so they have to ease into the tough conditions. That's what they always do. The weekend will be tougher. They just weren't expecting the weather last night and today.

The difference in the last few years is that they're making it a 8/10 difficulty rather than the usual 12/10.

This is day 1. Pin positions and playing conditions will change.
this is 4/10 difficulty right now…..
Calm down Michael Block

Just enjoy the round.
Really,

Like watching Pinehurst #2 be destroyed for the US Open was better.

They'll lengthen the course tomorrow and use trickier pin placements.

This and members and corporate types were given over half the tickets. Only around 4-5000 daily tickets is what I heard on NLU.

I'm expecting usga to have at least one of the par 3s playing over 300 and one under 100 today.

I think yesterday was extremely embarrassing for them having so many guys go low.

The lack of fans is so lame. Rory teeing off #10 to start his second round and not a single person in the grandstand next to the tee

You can click on a player's name to get the if scorecard and follow their play by clicking on Shotcast. Sam has about a 15 footer on 11 for birdie

I swore earlier in the week I saw that Sam's group was going to be a featured group today, but either I made that up or they changed plans after yesterday's round. It sucks you can't really watch anyone other than the featured groups until 1pm TV coverage.

Pin placements today are atrocious. USGA got kicked in the nuts yesterday so they are returning the favor today. Hopefully they don't get dumb with the course and it turns into Shinnecock 2.0

Scores are definitely going to be higher today with the added length and these pin positions. Really want the sun to make an appearance and start drying things out this afternoon.
