I know Johnny miller is going to say something ..it's got to be killing him.

He was impressed with the round, but he did gripe about the width of the fairways, which provided low scoring and such. I love this quote from him...

“A 63 for a par 72 is a heck of a score,” Miller said, “even if it was the Milwaukee Open.”

Erin Hills does have wide fairways plus add the rain and lack of wind and these golfers are going to post low scores.

Isn't there a way for FOX to filter out that annoying plane flying over? My gawd.......

Yeah, the crowd noise has been too prominent as well. Fox does not do a good job with golf, to put it mildly.

I don't think he has to. There were only three guys who broke par the day Miller went insane. There were over 30 guys who did it yesterday.

Miller has a point. Nobody was going low that day except him. Its the best single round in U.S. Open history, no question.

I think the coverage by Fox Sports is exceptional.

Johnny just ignores some facts.

The visual coverage is fine. The audio is picking up a lot that they should and probably could avoid. The commentators are average to below average.

All the commentators are former golfers with the exception of Buck. I like the audio feedback of the fans reaction.

Thomas is an excellent player but clearly not ready for a Major yet. 13 under will win this thing.

Joe Buck is terrible. The others are average at best. There's too much random audio for my tastes. Now it looks like it's going to be a battle between 2 guys who've won a total or 3 tournaments between them, which is nice for them I guess.

It's been a weird tournament and it's probably due to the nature of the course. There was a time late yesterday when 10 guys were either tied or 1 back, 7 or 8 under with Fowler being the only top 10 guy among them. It's almost as if there's 1 way to play the course and just about any of them can do it if they're putting well. It's just odd to see so many random guys bunched at the top so late and that much under par in a US Open.

Matsuyama in the house at -12. We'll see what Koepka and Harman are made of. This should be fun.

If you were a former golf announcer who was a condescending douche before (like Azinger)

...than you will be one on Fox. And he is.
