Pretty sure I have the link for most of that in the OP. If not, I'll make sure to add it.

Perfect. I get in to work around 8:30. That gives me 15 minutes to grab coffee, setup the stream, and email my employees to leave me the hell alone or they're fired.

I won't be rooting for this. But your prediction looks really solid to me. Only thing I'd change is Rickie. This is one of those where he seems like he should contend...but won't. He'll have a good day and bad day, barely make the cut, and finish 8 strokes back.

#9 green is

135 yard par 3 and shots in the dead arse middle of this thing can end up 30 yards off the green.

I can't wait

Don't worry. Ryno's nursing home didn't want to break the news to him that this isn't the British Open, so they just rolled all his clocks back 6 hours.

Before it gets too late to make a prediction, Spieth runs away with this thing.

The wide fairways will keep him from blowing up on a few holes when his driver gets loose.

There are plenty greens that are accessible by running a ball up onto them. He's great at that.

And there will be tons of makeable 15 foot putts this week. He's got that old arse putter back in action and will take advantage.

Spieth by 4 strokes.

And watching his sister chase him around the fairways today made my week. Spieth has this.

#9 is the GOAT...Used to be #19 and the playoff hole until the USGA made them get rid of the original Par 3 #8

Most of the greens are relatively tame out there, but 9, 14, and 15 are tricked out and will be fun to watch.

#18 will be fun too. I bet they put the pin in the front left on Sunday. You can miss that pin by 12 feet and be 40 yards down a hill off the side.

Like I said earlier in the thread, this course is built for DJ, so I think it's his to lose.

I think it's him, Spieth, Rory, and one surprise coming down the stretch and DJ closes it out again. Wouldn't mind either of those 3 winning it though. I just want to see it being a tight race going in to #9 on Sunday.

Some of the shots into 9 during practice today were just

Multiple players were simply dumbfounded in interviews after finishing up today

When I played Erin Hills exactly 2 years ago (I watched DJ miss his putt at Chambers Bay in the club house at EH), I bought an Erin Hills hat for my then 6 month old daughter. I bought a toddler hat so that she could hopefully wear it with me when we watched the US Open 2 years later. I busted that hat out today so she could try it on and it fit like a glove. She liked it so much that she refused to take it off and kept asking me if we could watch golf...which I obliged.

This is going to be a great weekend, gentlemen.

I'm not sure the USGA will allow it to play that easy
