I am cheering for Xander in this one

From the clips of the rough at Oakmont I've seen, even just hacking it out of some of that will be a challenge.

I know they don't want -20 to win the US Open but this layout and setup are ridiculous. I like watching them struggle like we do occasionally too, but not all day for 4 days. This course just holds no appeal for me. I wouldn't ever want to play it and it just isn't much fun watching them try to.

one of the guys playing the Great Assed Barmaid course yesterday had a bag he won in some drawing one of the THREE TIMES he played Oakmont CC (all with monied member clients... all pretty miserable experiences, so he says... lol).

the Open? absolutely loving it. so refreshing, so inspiring to see golf gods hacking out of 9-inch nails... turning 12' putts into 30' chips... ya gotta love those crazy undulating square greens... fucking RAVINES in the middle of the fairway?... awesome silliness... loved it when an enraged Sir Rory smashed his driver on the tee marker (seems like such poor behavior should get at least a reprimand, no?)

Most Golf events are held on courses that you dream of someday getting on... Oakmont seems more the opulent nightmare.

So it’s basically hit the fairway or add a stroke… or two?
