Didn't see this thread till now, but my picks on Thursday morning were Tiger and Lee Westwood, and they are both in the mix....I think Ernie Els has a good chance of rallying from behind as well...but Jim and Graeme looked really solid today, and I think they will continue that tomorrow. If Tiger can make a few putts tomorrow he could make a run...but at 5 shots back it seems unlikely. The 17 year old has been really fun to watch!
Believe it or not I actually played high school golf against one of the players in the field (Kyle Stanley) but he missed the cut at 10 over par.
Should be one hell of a Sunday. I know they're going to move the tees up on 16 which should make the closing stretch very interesting....
My uncles have actually been down at the Olympic Club watching since Thursday afternoonI'm jealous!

webb simpson coming out in the clutch.
looks like jim furyk took his 5 hour energy a little too early.
Great US Open as always, but very anti climatic IMO. Not a big Webb Simpson fan but he played a damn fine weekend (4 under) so I tip my cap to him, he really deserves this win.

man did furyk fall apart. that drive on 16 was like something i would pull. lol. i was rooting for ernie down the stretch but he fell off on 15 and 16. mcdowell had a shot but just totally misread that put. simpson deserved it though. he played the best golf on the weekend.Originally Posted by BA142

ya i called ernie to win it and literally he sank an eagle right after i said that LITERALLY. and then he fell apart lol.
Tetris Champion!
Webb Simpson out of know where !!
first tournament i've seen where the winner was under par. great one. i was wondering, who plays the course the remainder of the year? not many casual golfers would have the patience on such a difficult course.
you mean "over" par...not under.
the pros play from longer tee boxes, the rough is grown out longer, the fairways are narrowed, the greens are dried out to make them faster, and the pin positions are really hard. they will slowly bring the course back to normal over the next few weeks.
i got a chance to play bethpage back in 2002 right after the open. back then i was probably a 8 handicap. we played the tips just to see what it was like. i shot a 109 that i felt was pretty good actually. never seen a course that tough in my life. what the USGA does to these courses is unbelievable. when you see the pro's playing a course on TV it's nothing like what the public plays.
