    They are going low. Azinger just said "the Bob Hope classic just broke out at the US Open"
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands

    Good to see Harman up top.

    Watched him whoop my ass, and everyone else in the field in state back in 06.

    I'm a small guy, but that little 5'7" bastard can hit the ball a ton.

    Erin Hills could set up like a home run derby. If DJ can keep it in the short grass he is my pick. Kinser is crazy hot and has the mental make up to win big. I hope the American boys show up!

    I want Kisner to win one. DJ struggled early but is playing a little better now. Rickie is torching it. The commentators are damn awful, watching online.

    Edit: Wouldnt mind seeing Harman win one either.

    I'm pulling for Wesley Bryan, but he's been sagging after winning the Heritage.

    I can't look at Rickie Fowler without thinking of DiCaprio in "The Aviator", but he's a strong one.

    some of that rough is (IMO) pretty silly. I understand a penalty for a bad shot but you are gonna see people losing a golf ball in plain sight...
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Golf courses without trees look funny.

    And to think, they actually cut some of it this week just to satisfy the players.

    Been having this argument with my brother. Erin Hills has some of the widest fairways in US Open history. If you are a professional golfer and cannot hit these fairways you should pay the price. Not to mention, all of the golfers have to play the rxact same course. Complain about it and you have already lost... obviously that tall fescue didn't bother Ricky!

    This isn't a complaint, bc today has been fun to watch, but I wish they would have gone somewhere with more of a traditional US Open layout. Links golf is for The Open.

    Yep.

    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
