Degenerate Gamblers for the US Open

[Tripping William]

I’d go with Fowler myself.

A few years ago I would’ve added Jordan Spieth to the conversation but his game has fallen dramatically.

I’m gonna go all Kedsy here. In the 2020 season, the make-percentage leader at six feet at 89.13% was ...







Matt Kuchar

Wow. That surprises me a little.

[Tripping William]

Wow. That surprises me a little.

Patrick Reed was 18th. Rickie Fowler was 91st.

[rsvman]

Patrick Reed was 18th. Rickie Fowler was 91st.

Holy crap!

[Bob Green]

Rickie Fowler was 91st.

That shocks me!

[CDu]

Team CDu is merely Team Lurking right now:
T3, T7, T7, T17, T17, MC. Five guys within 6 of the lead heading into the weekend, but nobody in an especially good position.

[Tripping William]

That shocks me!

Fowler: 70.73%

Has there ever been a less likable US Open final pairing than today’s?

I'd go with Bubba and Reed

I'd go with Bubba and Reed

Have they been in a US Open final pairing before? Or are you predicting that for tomorrow?

Saturday Duke highlight. Adam Long is even through 12 holes -- and has moved up 35 spots to T-27! Guess the course is playing tough today.

Good point. I was thinking about less likable in general.
Ignored your point about being the last pairing at the US Open. My bad.
Could happen to tomorrow though. Wouldn’t put $$ on Bubba to shoot low however.

[sagegrouse]

Adam Long T-24 with a very, very good -1 today. He will likely move up from this position.

Sage's team is rallying with several birdies after a slow start. But the remnant only includes Justin Thomas T-3, Webb T-9 and the aforementioned Mr. Long.

Since I really like Bryson and don't like Tiger...I'm going with 'yes lots of times'

[sagegrouse]

Strong contender for last place here:

Webb, JT, Adam Long: T-11, T-17, T-17.

My guys decide to flock together -- but without birdies.

[Tripping William]

T8 (Hovland), T11 (Niemann), T17 (JT, who had a rotten round today).

Wolffie was impressive.

[elvis14]

DJ +3 made cut
Collin +7 missed cut by 1
Bryson -3
Matt Even
Phil WTF
Rickie +6 (was 1 under yesterday)
Todd E

After day 3:

DJ +5 T21
Bryson -3 2nd
Matt -5 1st
Rickie +8 T34
Todd +5 T21

Collin and Phil - cut

My tie breaker of -4 isn't looking too bad right now.

Yeah, but... yeah, but ... You also have the two leaders. Does anyone else?

Just edging me right now:
Wolff (1)
Schauffele (T4)
Hovland (T8)
Thomas (T17)
Finau (T21)

As a TV spectator, the final twosome, comprising the likely winner, consists of two people whose golf swing I hate to watch. This is "close my eyes" golf viewing.

And, if this is the future of golf, they should modify courses and change rules about equipment to keep it from happening. Starting right now!

[rsvman]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the final winning score is par or over par.

The only reason I didn't put Wolff on my team is because he could've won the PGA if he hadn't missed several fairly easy putts on the back nine on Sunday. It will be interesting to see if he can figure out a way to make that not happen tomorrow.
