I realize which Dandy Don you were talking about. Just a little joke.

Absolutely destroying the US Open. Unreal.

I don't know. I think the weather has more to do with this than anything, aside from McIlroy playing his arse off. With all the rain and excluding Rory, -5 is still a decent US Open score. If it was dry, they'd be closer to par.

I know I'm late asking... but what did the announcer say disrupted Fredrik Jacobson on his bird putt on the 18th green?

Whatever it was he gave that person the staredown for a good 5 sec.




btw, I can't believe how many good scores we are seeing today.

The USGA from 15 or 20 years ago probably not. If they host it again, I suspect the rough might be just a tad bit longer.

He was just waiting for the player on 10 to putt so the crowd wouldn't be cheering in his backswing.

Its not the -5, its the number of golfers under par. They only host every 15 years or so anyways and the USGA is looking at new courses (see Chambers Bay and Erin Hills).

I didn't think the little guy had it in him to go 266 yards.

Chambers Bay is overrated and not really ready for an Open. I think the weather cycle got them more then anything on this one. I think they should have been on the West Coast with the open this year.

They were just there last year and in 2008. That would have been 3 out of 4 years on the West Coast, and 4 out of 5 since they're going to Olympic next year.
