They never show Sam unless he’s paired with Rory or Scottie or he’s in the lead. He doesn’t play ball with them or something. I don’t get it.
He’s not an upper echelon player and he’s not very entertaining to watch.
He’s a good golfer but as far as watchability for a casual fan, he just doesn’t have it.

For those in contention on Sunday , except for Scheffler, I think the golf course won . Including Rory who had an extra shot in his pocket on 18 . Pulling for Sam to birdie 18 . Just missed . That was a $300,000 putt .
Hoping he can win a Major soon .

Sam was much closer to winning than most realize. Two points to make.....I didn't see all of his tee shots because CBS didn't show him the last day from hole 4-16. But I did see Sam hit two drives into the trees...hooked on 13 into the trees. His ball hit trees and fell into the creek....penalty.
In last round he hit his tee shot on 2 in the right trees....unplayable lie, penalty and even more trouble on his available drop, resulting in a double bogey. Think about how many drives Rory hit right in the trees on 2....how many penalties or blocked 2nd shots.....zero. Same thing on 18 last round. Bottom line, Rory never had to pay for his really wild driving. Sam was penalized 2 shots for his two shots in the trees, at least as far as I saw.
Same thing, even worse for Young....hooked drive on 13, hit trees and bounced in the fairway..birdie, which easily could have been a 6 or worse (ask the Chinaman)...Young hit into the trees round 3 on 18...kicked out in the fairway for a shot. How about his heeled drive on 18 into the left trees, that bounced out and he had a shot to the green.
There were several other fortunate bounces for them plus Rose (17) and I can't think of a single one for Sam.
I am not saying he lost because of all of this, but I am saying that from a playing viewpoint, Sam played as well with zero good bounces. In my mind, that was the difference for him winning or finishing 7th. I know it happens ever tournament, that the guys with the best bounces combined with good play, usually win. Rory did not play like a real champion on Sunday imo, but he survived.

This is an excellent summary. Saturday he played bogey free golf. Very very few players had any rounds bogey free at that tournament.
Last year at one of the majors there was a complete and utter bullshite penalty that I still don’t understand the ruling on. Complete horseshite that completely resulted in him losing it mentally.
One last thing… if I was able to fly to watch the 27 Ryder cup in Adare Manor, Ireland, I would jump at it just so I could scream frick Rory while the US shoved a driver up their respective asses after they whip them on his home soil.
Also frick Rory. I wish they deport his arse.

I have less animosity toward Rory than you, but yeah the US Open rules official fricked Burns for sure.
And yeah, I mentioned to my friends that all Burns’s shots into the woods ended up with him behind a tree. It seemed like a lot of others, Cam Young and Rory among them, had their balls ricochet back into the fairway.
Hell, Cam Young had several instances where he hit a really bad shot only for it to strike a spectator and roll back into play.
