Did you guys see Sergio try to talk to Tiger on the range and catch a serious case of GTFO from El Tigre? Fantastic

And why is this shite hole hosting this tournament? Sounds like it is turning into a disaster. I realize they can't stop the rain, but from all accounts that corner of the course always floods

The USGA seems to be slowly moving away from older courses that havent had modern renovations for drainage and setup for big galleries.

They also dont seem to like the stigma of playing the US Open at these ultra exclusive country clubs in our society that increasingly demonizes the rich.

But they will continue to throw a bone to courses like this every few years as they should, Shinnecock and Oakmont are great Open courses.

Which is why this is a disaster. I understand wanting to preserve the history of the game and all that, but if they have to play a couple holes a mile and a half away then this will be even more of a joke. From what I've seen on tv, if everything had gone right this thing would be a logistical mess.

Apparently they got the Tiger Sergio exchange on tape? Sports radio said they are playing it after the break.

Small course so fan movement is going to be miserable. Driving range is a mile and a half from the course, said it might take up to a half hour from leaving the range to teeing off, they are going off of 1 and 11, not 10. And if they actually have to play 2 holes at the other course it will be a nightmare

It's not ideal. But if they don't have to play two holes at the west course I'm confident they have it figured out.

Sports radio is back from the break. Here we go.

Either I missed it or they were BSing. I just heard an interview with a Golf channel guy. I'm sure if there is a recording well hear it.
