I saw an article today about how people just hated the FOX sports coverage of this, how the camera angles were off and the commentators sucked. Guess which network posted it.

straight up brolic posted:glad im not the only one thinking this. The course hasn't actually played as hard as I thought it would tee to green, but the greens look pretty loving terrible. Speith in particular has missed some really easy putts that he would never miss on better greens. "It's pretty much like putting on broccoli," said Henrik Stenson

That 15 year old who qualified, he shot 77 on Thursday... and backed it up with a 84 on Friday. That's +21 and the 2nd worst score.

It's strange that they've gone to a rugged, patchy, dry, dead-looking course two years in a row. I know Pinehurst was in better condition than it looked, but the waste areas were too easy to hit from, missing a (brown) fairway wasn't a big deal, and the greens were softer than they used to be. This has been pretty similar. It's easy to get lucky with a good lie in the fescue off the fairways, and almost every green has a backstop that collects approach shots. Putting is only hard because the greens are bumpy and untrue. It's interesting to watch but it feels more like a gimmick than a U.S. Open, which is supposed to be about narrow fairways, ankle-deep rough and extremely fast but fair greens.

Doesn't help that up here we've had maybe less than 2 inches of rain in 2 to 3 months. That's nuts at the tail end of our rainy season. Probably supposed to be more lush but how dry its been may contribute to this course difficulty.

The close up of that DJ was very telling. Ball hopped twice before it went it. Edit: Someone who didn't like the greens set a warehouse on fire. daslog fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jun 21, 2015 |

A man that has collapsed on this course, admitted he was considering withdrawing and was clearly in agony at times today is the leader in the clubhouse.

It was Steve Marino in 2007, unless Pat Perez did the same thing since then. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/01/AR2007070101221.html

Did anybody see Gary Player rant for like ten minutes straight yesterday about how this course was absurd and embarrassing and had no place in professional golf and was going to ruin the appeal to amateurs? It was pretty funny. He just went on and on and on. Edit: it was on the golf channels pregame show.

Also the 18th has been upped to a par 5 because of prevailing winds.

God these guys must be frustrated at this course, which makes it more entertaining to watch but still. I could see myself having a good time on this course just for fun and trying crazy slope shots but not if it was any sort of competition.

I'd guess so. It's pretty far north, at the western edge of its time zone. Remember that Philadelphia has the same latitude as San Francisco. It's nice to see these players suffering from putts starting off at the wrong angle. Combating that is an essential muni skill!

Dustin Johnson has to win if he keeps playing perfect golf like this. Also I think Fox's camera work is really great. Edit: I recant, I guess foreign networks get to pick and choose cameras now. sarehu fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Jun 22, 2015 |
