2020 US Open

tbrep · Sep 19, 2020

Really hoping for Reed to have an epic collapse at some point but he looks solid. Very disappointed (but not surprised) with Rory's slide in round 2. Next couple of days should be fun as conditions get tougher - even though it's not as juicy a leaderboard as you'd hope going into a major weekend.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Rory fell off, but I think this is still a juicy leaderboard.nobody likes Reed or Bryson but they are absolutely interesting stories for a variety of reasons. JT is 2 shots back. Xander, Wolff, Matsuyama and Ram 4-5 shots back and in the mix.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Pretty sure the hole on 2 is right under a tree today. Awesome

ezemerson · Sep 19, 2020

Carnage everywhere already today

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

All the early starters are going backwards

Patrick Cantlay, meet flag stick.

Flag stick, meet Patrick Cantlay.

Catcher Block · Sep 19, 2020

Alex Noren makes the cut on the number, and then cards a 67 in the third round. He's at +3 overall, and will probably get to sleep in tomorrow.

Justin Thomas just hit the worst tee shot on #2 that I think I've ever seen a a top pro hit

I think Azinger agrees with you

E5 Yaz · Sep 19, 2020

Is this Reed-DeChambeau pairing another reason 2020 sucks?

steveluck7 · Sep 19, 2020

Bryson hits a bomb off the first tee.
Has 120 left from the middle of the fairway.
Wedge to ~20 feet.
3 putt bogey

Catcher Block · Sep 19, 2020

Muscles with an epic hook off the tee on #2 after choking on a bogey at 1. But please NBC, keep telling me about how he's the perfect modern, scientific player.

Indubitably. It's another data point for the fact that we're living in a simulation and the person playing the game went into "fuck it," mode.

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

Reed -5 now. Up. I need him to implode immediately. It is still pretty early.

ernieshore · Sep 19, 2020

I’m going to need a 12-pack of Amstel Light soon if Reed keeps this up.

12 pack of Jack.

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

All right, he bogeyed with a shitty putt.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Wolff i unconscious right now

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

You just hate to see it Patrick.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Reed
Doubles 11 and suddenly Wolff has a 3-shot lead

Double the joy.

That said, Wolff won't run away with this. The pressure is gonna get intense and this course is no joke.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

I don't think I've ever seen a ball stay in the air as long as the drive that Bryson just hit.

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

Man, that miss by Wolff JUST missed. -6 would have been something.

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

First bogey of the day for Wolfy.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

Reed putts one off the green, followed by Matsuyama shanking a chip from the deep rough.
I love the U.S. Open.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Reed peaking oil big time.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

-3 might be the lead after Wolff misses the fairway on 17.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

I like Azinger's line--the hardest shot in golf is the next shot after a shank.

I understand that too well.

Catcher Block · Sep 19, 2020

"Dude, I can't stop over-drawing it." That's called a pull, professor.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Oosthuizen might end up in the final pair

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

Solid par for Wolff on 17.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

2 of last 20 fairways for Wolff. And he's leading. That seems impossible..

Certainly seems unsustainable, kind of like Matsuyama a few weeks ago. At some point it catches up to you.

Buster Olney the Lonely · Sep 19, 2020

That last fairway was in the first cut. Wasn’t sure if that would count.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

RedOctober3829 said:
Plus it’s got to be tiring trying to smash it out of that rough

Eh, he's 21 and strong as an ox. I don't think fatigue is going to be the issue.

johnmd20 · Sep 19, 2020

JT had a day.

Note, I read on Twitter that Wolff has a full stroke gained off the tee versus the field today. The fairways matter until they don't matter at all. All of Wolff's misses were from the right angle.

cshea · Sep 19, 2020

Incredible round by Wolff.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

Wolff seems like a good kid to root for.

This new group of kids--Wolff, Morikawa, Sheffler, and Hovland-- all seem really likable.

Totally bizarre pre-shot routine and swing, but the results sure are nice. Rooting for the kid tomorrow.

BaseballJones · Sep 19, 2020

They're talking about how the power of these players is trumping accuracy and destroying the golf course, but the reality is that the scores are still what US Open scores ought to be. DeChambeau is at, what, -3? I mean it's not like he's putting up -15 at the US Open.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Sep 19, 2020

DeChambeau and Wolff will be a blast as a final pairing.
And I sort of like Louis lurking one pairing ahead.

Agreed ... and I'd love to see Rory set a pace that would get them thinking
