Go Justin!


Say no to the over hyped Ricky Fowler.

1. Why the hate against Fowler. He's just another golfer trying to win, as are the rest of them

[Kingofalldems]

2. Nothing personal.

Just feel the PGA et al has hyped him too much since he came out on tour.

3. Erin Hills is turning out to be a joke of a US Open course

It shows that just pure length doesn't make a course difficult for modern players. Fox coverage of the US Open totally sucks for the third year in a row. Do we really have to listen to Joe Buck on every damn thing Fox televises? Of course there is the lady with the boob job and butt lift in a tight dress who knows nothing just to let us know it's Fox.

4. Holly (I was named one of golf's most beautiful people) Sonders.

She made that announcement one night on the Golf Channel.


She actually can play though.

5. And everyone was worried about the rough early in the week

Because USGA had allowed it to grown super shaggy in the hopes of adding a challenge!

6. They should have kept it.

Kevin Na's video made them back off.

9. Going to be a fun day today......the wind is gale force....gonna be some high

high scores. Who said this is an easy course........

[Kingofalldems]

10. Oh yeah--nice.

[Hokie]

11. And it is stil a joke

I hope the US Open never returns to this joke.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Would have been a different story had the USGA not cut the rough.

And during the week of the tournament no less. Epic fail.

14. I am probably being harsh but it just seemed like a US Open should be better

First I don't care for these new "designed to host the US Open" courses like Chambers Bay. Erin Hills is different but the length of some of the holes seemed artificial. The greens were nothing special because USGA was afraid to speed them up with the wind coming Sunday and they were soft from all the rain so they held every shot into them. It just have well have been the weekly {Insert the name of your favorite corporate sponsor here} Classic we see every weekend where everyone is under par and most of the contenders are people you've never heard of.

I think the USGA needs to step back and rethink what they are doing to what was once the greatest of the four majors. I think the Masters and the British Open are starting to separate themselves from the US Open.
