ODT: 2024 US Open (Pinehurst #2)

[Dude]

DeChambeau is on a mission, looks very determined.

 

[skinzfan]

My caddy asked me if I'd ever played #2 before, I said no, he saw me lining up a putt on the first green, stopped me, told me to try to putt it halfway to the hole.

 

[Wazmankg]

What's with all of the USA! chants? It's not the Ryder Cup .. boneheads.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Huge save for DeChambeau on 8... wow... could've easily been a double bogey but turned it into a par.

Rory close though...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

OH SHIT!!!! McIlroy with the birdie! Pressure on DeChambeau...

AND BOOM, Cantley now there too! We got a match, boys!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Come on Rory

Ties it on 12

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Amazing putts by Rory in the last few holes... man... he's keepin' this tight. DeChambeau keeps hitting these right... eventually this is gonna come back and bite him in the ass. He's been right the last 3 holes. He's starting off that way... looks like he's playing a draw and he's just not executing on it. Rory isn't playing anything.. he's just staying straight.

Oooh Cantley... wtf?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Rory with the 2 stroke lead now... oh boy... I knew those shots along the right side were going to eventually catch up with DeChambeau... I mean props to Rory as well... 3 under so far is playing at a SUPER high level given where he started the day off.

Course DeCham just gave himself a legit eagle opp... and Rory just bushwhacked it Jesus.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Jesus DeChambeau is missing every single fairway after starting out so good... he's playing the draw SOO hard. I get he's got a power swing, but he's gonna start racking up bogeys with how hard the US Open Greens have always been. Chip and a one putt is not a thing in the US Open.

OMFG DeChambeau which a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE miss...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

WOW DeCham got so lucky there... he's all over the place... Rory is going to win this if he just keeps hitting straight/safe shots.

I mean Rory is putting together a great round. Usually as a leader (DeCham) with a 3 stroke lead you can just maintain... but yah...

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Rory wtf

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Rory wtf

Yah you CANNOT miss those.. he's going to be having nightmares about that putt...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

This is a good US Open I gotta admit. Pressure is getting to everyone. These pros know that Doritos are going to be $8.99 a bag next year... gotta make that money!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Rory is starting to be a little Greg Norman esque. Thanks to his legacy he killed it for like 4 years

Oh I used to root for Norman in the 90s as a kid. I had the shark logo balls and shirts and everything. That guy was the biggest choke artist in PGA history... he did win a major though (The British). Just could never close.

Now that said, I dunno if I could put Rory in quite that same category.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Huge shot there... That's gotta feel good.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Well down to DeCham and Rory at this point... hopefully we get a playoff but I'm glad the US Open Champion is at least gonna go to the last hole.
