Personally I don't get why they show everyone of his shots when his not in contention but regarding his performance is he really doing that much worse than the like of Mickelson or even dj

Much worse

Tiger hasn’t been competitive anywhere for 5 years while the other 2 have had multiple victories (including a major each) plus multiple major top 10s in that time

In context given age and how good dj was until 5 years ago and recent injury issues then I think dj has been worse.

Tiger also had a major win in last 5 years

DJ has won a major & 6 other tournaments since Tiger’s last win

He’s only really been poor in the majors this year and last won in February

This is just really odd

Lamprecht was the #1 amateur in the world and qualified for the US Open

Gave up his amateur status and US Open spot to play in a shitty KFT event where he missed the cut

What was the point?

DeChambeau and Pavon in the final group on Sunday. DeChambeau obviously the favorite for his 2nd US Open. 8 players under par is still high for a US Open.

Big swings are possible on any hole so the fat lady isn’t even warming up

DeChambeau is just looking very solid all-round, no weaknesses. He will be hard to dislodge from the top.

I think so too, he’s also had that bit of luck that Social mentioned about his bad shots never quite ending up unplayable (like Pavon got yesterday). It’s clearly suiting those who smack it a mile too, if you do miss the fairway, you’ve still only got a wedge in.

Hoping for Rory but looks like Bryson. It’s just a shame he seems to bring out the worst in those watching even if he’s become far more likeable himself.

Tony Finau has let me down big time, beginning to wonder if he has the mentality, it's a shame he clearly has the game to win a Us Open.

Rory making a mess of the 5th...

It was really just one hole yesterday (the 13th) that did both him and Aberg in...

Joining a long list of brilliant tour players who golf watchers have no confidence of ever actually winning a major

 

[grecian]

Well Finau eagled as soon as I moaned about him, I wasn't Gambiring honestly, Hopefully this'll be a thrilling finish, we don't seem to have had many of them recently.

The fratboy element of American golf crowds is the worst.

Tedious, loud bores.

 

[grecian]

If Bryson wins this with driving so much in the native area it's going to be one of the great flukes.
