We had our US Open draft last night. I got a crappy draw/ drafting order. Ended up with:

-W Simpson
-Dufner
-KJ
-Boo
-Toms
-Z Johnson


Not an overly stacked team, but we'll see how it goes. Also, my head hurts from drinking too much whiskey.

Zach Johnson's game suits this course the best out of your draw IMO

If Boo can make some putts, watch out!

That is pretty solid, I think. Some straight hitters with good short games...Clear thinkers..
some experience...

Only thing that worries me is that there are some deep par 3s.

Only thing that makes me worry about the toms type players

I had a couple of days of vacation to burn, so I'm going to wear out the recliner Thursday & Friday.

The only negative is if Fatso Berman is leading the ESPN coverage I'll have to mute the sound.

Captain obvious statement here, but I'm guessing person who has best short game/putting wins this?

Never heard of a course this short for US open

That plays a large part...

Of course, you could say that about literally every other tournament.

ETA: putting it in the fairway may matter more for this tournament

Some may lay up short on 3. Left and right is dead.
9 will only play to a 5 iron or less. downhill 235
17 will be difficult having a huge ridge in the green. 200 yards to a front pin and if you go long you will 3 putt.
245 to back pin and if you are short, you 3 putt.

Word is now they will have these greens at 13.5-14....thats like glass

Right. I guess I meant the guys who normally have a huge advantage driving the ball off the tee won't be the favorites since guys who are more crafty and rely on their short game will have a much greater chance

Im not sure driving distance will matter this week. Most of the 290-310 places to land are skinny and have mounds.

Most players will be playing 270-280 off the tee. 3 irons and 3 woods longer guys,,,Driver for Toms
