These greens are small. They don’t really have a lot of tough pins.

If the wind isn’t blowing at Pebble, this will happen. Nothing you can do about the weather. Same was the case at Erin Hills.

If you can’t tell there are numerous guys right there alongside him. This isn’t some great performance like Tiger put on.

Why is the course playing so much easier than it played the last two times the US Open was there? Any ideas?


Technology and weather.

He's hitting fairways & greens & making putts. I'm sure the USGA isn't thrilled, but they couldn't deal with the alternative from a PR perspective.

but no major should allow a player to do that


The Masters allows players to shoot -6 on the back 9 alone. The fairways are tiny this week, the players are just that good.

Odd that the wind hasn’t been much of a factor this week.

They also made a few holes easier like 14

But wind is the big difference and it was so wet all winter and spring in CA

It’s absolutely a great performance.

It just isn’t all time great. This round might be if he keeps it up.

For sure. I’m not saying it’s a player issue in anyway, USGA I think dropped the ball a bit. I’ve enjoyed the thing regardless.

I just prefer a US open to be very tough and pretty much unfair for the players

It’s amusing people are whining about scoring being too low. But if the course has any wind people would bitch about the course being hard

Look at the video from the other Opens played there. A lot more brown and a lot more wind.

Today. Yesterday was the first day he’d gained strokes on the field on the greens. He’s been hitting the ball well all week though.
