Bastard. I wanted that Phil rally.thebushcommander posted:I shall be out on the course tomorrow morning at 10am. Will be interesting to see "changes" on the course from the last time I was there (2005 US Open). Now I just have to figure out how to wake up at 7am on a Saturday. I only got to play there once before the renovation, but it's interesting. Fairways got wider, opened up some nice tricky angles, edges are hardpan for the danger of rolling in, and there's literally no rough, just waste. I personally really like the way it plays after the changes.

Heard that the greens are basically turtle shells now. Sounds like no fun.

Yeah, I find four nice, but it's generic resort nice. Plus the greens play basically flat. Confused me no end when people took caddies there. Now eight on the other hand is real nice in my opinion. Good variation between holes and some interesting strategy to more than a few of them.substitute posted:Heard that the greens are basically turtle shells now. Sounds like no fun. Now? They've been that way a long time (read I'm pretty sure they've been continually growing since Ross finally got grass on them until relatively recently). Good planning and angles mitigate that a lot. A decent amount of the time this boils down to putting it where it's more likely to be on or roll off to a nice area to chip from rather than a bunker. In my experience the course is actually playable for even really bad golfers way more than any other US Open venue I've been on (Ocean Course and Bethpage Black) and is still an interesting challenge rather than just brutally hard till you get to the 30s handicaps. A lot of that is the angles and planning to mitigate the unfriendliness of the greens to bad approaches because as long as a player can make good decisions the difficulty of the course is something they can engage with. The majority of the strategy is just about getting on those greens without taking too many strokes. Except for a few greens that I particularly hated reading, it's hard to bleed more than one stroke on the green.

Also, it was the first time I learned about the Arnold Palmer drink.

Kaymer/Fowler should be a fun pairing tomorrow

Kaymer should be able to hold it steady but he did have a couple hiccups today. Fowler didn't get a lot of coverage but he sure seems to be putting good from the litte he has been shown this week.

There's an 11 year old kid playing out there who can drive it 230 and gave her post round commentary to the media while eating a popsicle. That is loving awesome. Edit: http://deadspin.com/meet-lucy-li-the-11-year-old-golfer-playing-this-years-1593207439
