So you expect them to change it in the middle of the round?

Really not sure what else you would want them to do.

You could apply your logic to any tournament. It’s simply impossible to make it completely fair.

I can tell you’ve never played in a tournament.

Nope. Never.

Never ran one either.

USGA guys are arrogant fricks and play to the stupidity of most of the hackers on this thread.




And yet 2 of the top 10 in the world are tied for the lead, with another top 10 player 1 shot back.

No. You don't have the course "how you like it" in the morning because you know it will cross over in the afternoon.

Have you ever watched a US Open before?

Add Stenson to the list. He used Zach's exact words.

I played in a tournament a month ago where I had to deal with a shitload of rain during my round. The guys in the morning didn’t have to deal with any rain. It certainly made an effect on everyone with afternoon tee times. Maybe I should have bitched to the fsga that it wasn’t fair and they should have made it easier on us that had to play in the rain. I’ll remember that for next time.

Mike Davis acts as if he cares about bringing the game back to the masses but tell me what common man plays a course like this? It’s not relatable and looks like an arse whipping vs fun. Good luck getting the game to appeal to a fringe player from watching this tournament.


The US Open is awesome because the leader can blow a huge lead at any moment. That's what gets people watching. Nobody would watch if DJ was going to run away with it.

Rain slows down a golf course. Wind and short grass speeds up a golf course.

Good luck.

DJ hit some terrible shots today. He deserved his score. Funny that he left so many putts short on a course that others are bitching about being too fast and firm


Tomorrow is going to be awesome

I am loving this tournament. Played golf today and I've never heard so much talk about a tournament. Literally everyone out there was saying something about shinneycock. Wish more tournaments were this challenging.

Rain also makes a course much longer when you don’t get run out and you’re fighting the elements. The wind was awful too, but you didn’t see me bitching that it wasn’t fair.

DJ has gotten the worse end of the draw on every day in the tournament, and is tied for the lead.

Seems tough to do on an unfair course

Unplayable when you have to putt on a sheet of water and the ball flings up all of the water. But we still had to play in it. Golf isn’t for pussies, you can’t always have perfect weather.

The jackass had a 4 shot lead going in to today. Look at the scores this morning vs. this afternoon. The scores were double this morning. Are you saying the whole afternoon group sucks?
