2017 US Open Discussion Thread

[limpalong]

Earlier today, Azinger was commenting while watching Keegan Beadley putt. His quip was "Keegan Bradley is one of the players affected by the long putter ban". WTF? Aren't these guys supposed to be experts?

Some are still smarting from the anchoring ban. I can remember the day when some were upset for a long time when the original Ping grooves were ruled non-conforming. Driver COR. The more recent groove ruling.

I took Azinger's comments to suggest that neither Bradley or Scott have seemed to putt the same since going to the shorter putters. When these guys have used a certain putter design and configuration throughout their career and then need to transition to something different, I could see where it might have a difference.

I really don't want Matsuyama to back into this thing.

My point is that long putters were NOT banned. Anchoring was banned. Azinger knows better.

You don't have a 290 yard 3 wood to 4 feet? What about Ricky's 215 yard 6 iron to 6 feet? No? I thought you were a playa.

I've got a 200 yd sand wedge that never leaves the ground........

This thing's over.

Now I see... said the blind man!

Koepka is shutting up all the commentators who predicted the leaders going over par today. He's killing it for a final round in a major in windy fast conditions. Precision round!

He leads by 4. Hits a drive on 17 that is in the fairway. Says, "That so bad it's alright."

Fowler should have worn orange shoes. Wouldn't see the upchuck all over them quite as bad.

Young Harmon has played well. Just seems to have succumbed to the pressure. Yet, he's made some great shots. That shot just into 16 was top-notch.

Matsuyama probably had the best round of the day... next to Koepka.

Fleetwood hung in there. A couple bad drives and a balky putter, but he shouldn't be ashamed of his performance this week.

And it was about 350 yards...I want to hit bad shots like that as well.

Then cranked one 379 yards on 18.

Final pairing of the U.S. Open has both players with bags, clubs, hats, etc. from a manufacturer that has bowed out of the golf business.

A British Open style player. He may end up with two majors before long.

But is HEAVY into the golf apparel business!

Koepka. Dude looked like he was hypnotized. Even during the trophy presentation, just slow and steady with no emotion. At some point, he is going to snap out of it and wonder WTF just happened.

I am glad the greens didn't get too dried out and become unplayable. Enough rain to keep the USGA in check and provide some entertainment.

With a 3 Wood, not a driver
