Why?Not as nasty as yesterday, but still some questionable greens/pin positions. They need to soften up the greens a bit for the weekend.
Best scoring occurred immediately after the rain this morning. If I wanted to watch 3 and 4 putts, I can head to any local course.Why?
So far today I'm sitting 1, T2, T8, and T13. I'll take it.
Well guys, what did I tell you?! The course is winning so far. That bit of wind fairly knocked the stuffing out of most. Only DJ, so far anyway, is winning. I’m en route back from Canada/US and missed a lot of the coverage, but from what I can see, it’s set up the way the USGA wanted it. Hard, fast and tricky. Do the players like it? Hell, no! Do the fans like it? Well, I’m not so sure. But I, for one, love it!
You can watch the bombers week in, week out. Most weeks -20 is winning. A veritable birdie fest! But for this week the script is different. Par golf wins. Some see that as boring, unfair. But I love watching the guys scratching their heads. Seeing them out of their comfort zone, getting frustrated, apportioning blame. I agree with Limp. It’s shotmaking time. A test of all aspects of the game, including patience. I hope today and tomorrow continue to play out the way the first few days have.
I just wish I was there to soak up some of the atmosphere. But I’ll be glued to the telly once I get home.

IG- How does the US Open setup compare with the norml setup? I have a friend in Pittsburgh who has played Oakmont a number of times. He said their normal setup was pretty close to what is played at the US Open. I am curious what Shinnecock was like.
