Degenerate US Open Contest

What a birdie putt from Fitzpatrick on 13.

Wow!

-5 and tied for the lead for Matty Fitz. Unreal!

[CameronDuke]

Zalatoris saves par with an excellent putt on 13.

This is a great competition!

Game on!

-5 for Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris as they go to the 14th!

Game on!

-5 for Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris as they go to the 14th!

Are you counting Scottie out?

[CameronDuke]

Are you counting Scottie out?

Absolutely not. Just one shot back I think. It would have been nice for him to birdie 14 since he had a good look at it. But he is right there.

[SouthernDukie]

Never mind. Scottie just missed a fairly easy birdie at 14. He’s clearly lost his mojo. It probably will come down to the final pairing.

[SouthernDukie]

It feels like Scheffler is going to need to go birdie, birdie on these last two holes to have a chance. I believe Fitzpatrick is going to pick up a stroke somewhere on the last three holes.

[Rogue]

Remind me not to pick Justin Rose in a major AGAIN .

Xander, Thank you for the -2 today . The rest of my B players are under a lot of examination for THE OPEN

[CameronDuke]

Bogey on 15 for Zalatoris and birdie for Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick has a 2 shot lead on the 16th tee box.

Bring it home Matt!

Fitzpatrick has a 2 shot lead on the 16th tee box.

Bring it home Matt!

It’s his to lose, imho.

[CameronDuke]

We head to the 72nd hole.

Fitzpatrick leads Scheffler and Zalatoris by a shot.

[CameronDuke]

Congratulations to Matt Fitzpatrick.

2022 US Open champion.

[rsvman]

Once again, Fitzpatrick was on my original list, based on his winning the US Amateur at the same course. But the then I thought, 'that was nine years ago!'

Maybe it wasn't even relevant, or maybe there is something psychologically good about playing a major at a place where you won a prestigious tournament in the past. Maybe it gives you just a little bit more confidence, and maybe that confidence translates into better shots.

The bomb putt at 13 ended up being the difference. Really thought Zalatoris had made the tying putt at 18.

Overall, fantastic tournament at a beautiful venue. Congrats to the young Mr Fitzpatrick, and to whomever ended up winning this contest.

Solid win by Jason Evans with the 1-2 pick - congrats!

Very belated congratulations to Jason and thanks again to mkirsh for doing a great job running this! Much appreciated.

An even more belated....ditto :-)

mkirsh, always appreciate you when we get to make a single post with a few names and you do all the real work. Thanks.

Jason...happy for you, even when we aren't betting $$ (or pies), it's still fun to win!

Yep, congrats, and big climb up the season standings.
