2019 The US Open Discussion Thread

Koepka is the cyborg who chased Arnie in Terminator. He’s not wired to have a bad tournament.

What's a "cyborg". Was Arnold Palmer in some movie called "Terminator"? Never saw that one. Must be relatively new. Did it come out after "Beach Blanket Bingo" or "Viva Las Vegas"?

With everyone in the "Challenge" picking Koepka, is he due for one bad tournament? Can he keep performing this well in the majors? Hmmm.... I'm thinking of rolling the dice and dropping him.

Koepka's bad major is he finishes in the top 10 instead of winning.

Koepka is the current version of Tiger vs the field. With his finishes in majors the past two years you almost have to pick him until he proves he is human.

There is a glimmer of hope. Apparently, the folks that run Pebble Beach will have a say in course setup/watering schedule and will not allow the USGA to “lose the course” during the US Open. I wish more open venues would do this, they are the experts when it comes to their course’s needs and local weather conditions and understand what works and what does not.

Steve Williams will be on the bag for Jason Day this week. I hope Day is paired with Tiger at some stage!

Saw that. Could make for some interesting interaction, both on and off the course. Don't know if I've ever seen a good fisticuffs between players/caddies at a PGA event.

My money is on Stevie if it comes to fisticuffs.

They said the same thing when he caddied for Adam Scott and nothing ever happened.

I have no problem with that rough as long as the greens hold well struck shots.

More information has emerged.

“Williams – the long-time caddie for superstars including Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Ray Floyd, Adam Scott and Ian Baker-Finch – would return to the US PGA Tour full-time, but only on some brutally frank instructions.

“He told me, `If you're not working hard enough, I'm gone’,” Day said.”
