U.S. Open

Koepka looking prime for par here which completely eliminates everyone but Finau.

And leaves Finau at like a 2% chance of a tie

I'm online all day for my job but I always have a tab open here and maybe a news page or 2. It's really not bad, but the bosses got tired of seeing everyone watching videos whenever they walked around so they "officially" cracked down. Unofficially they let it slide, basically because they have no choice. These are all IT professionals with skills and it's a buyers market. I work from home 2 days a week on average.

I wish I could do that but my military customers have to be coddled.

Reed just lost money

Koepka has a couple of strokes to play with. It looks like 2 in a row for him.

PGA said yesterday that they screwed up with the fast greens/pin placements. Hopefully they don't overdo it on the opposite end of the spectrum and everybody's lighting the course up.

Wind played a huge factor. Seeing guys pull driver out of their bag and being well under 300 with the roll out was refreshing. It's basically a penalty stroke if you miss the fairway as well which I also like. Kind of the crap someone like me faces playing golf in Seattle in October. You get off the fairway there's no way in hell you're finding that plugged ball. You might not even find it on the fairway. Don't want to see the starting time decide this though.

Agree on the setup...it seems like the found a happy medium...a bit softer allowing sharp games to make a run, but still tough.

Interesting to see DJ face a player just as long as him and to see who would blink first...thru 17 holes...it looked as if DJ blinked first....we'll see if Brooks can go b-t-b.

And Finau officially done as well.

Koepka back to back

 

[Montalban]

Gotta feel good heading to 18 with a two-shot lead.

And much more fun to watch today than yesterday. They don't need to ruin the course. The cream always rises to the top in these events whether the winning score is +3 or -15.

Brooks not trying to back into this W

Keeping foot on the gas with that T shot

Why hasn't this guy won more ? He's been cool as can be all day.

 

[Montalban]

Reed just lost money

Yeah, can't bogey 18 from where he was.

 

[Montalban]

Why hasn't this guy won more ? He's been cool as can be all day.

I saw an interview where he is asking himself the same thing. he feels like he should be winning a lot more.

 

[Montalban]

The disappointing guys today were Rose and Stenson. they never even got in it today. Johnson was underwhelming today as well.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

God I hate people that scream and yell after every shot/putt, etc. Can some of these people please catch that new Chinese bird flu?

 

[Montalban]

Stenson needs to work on his putting.

He seems to really be hitting his stride.

Went toe to toe with Rose a few weeks back when Rose was unconscious.

If Koepka didn’t inexplicably double bogey a easy par 5 twice that weekend he probably wins.

Let’s see how he finishes the year

Agreed. Its boorish. This attention seeking nonsense seems to be a growing phenomenon these days. We have Tiger Woods to thank for this.

 

[Wazmankg]

That's not what he needed. Not over yet.

 

[Montalban]

First gag of the entire day for Koepka and a very bad time to do it.

 

[Wazmankg]

I saw an interview where he is asking himself the same thing. he feels like he should be winning a lot more.

I just looked him up and he has 6 2nd place finishes the last 3 seasons including this season. So he clearly has the talent.
