Who you rooting for?
Me? I root for anybody that doesn't wear white pants.

This is the man who took Homa's spot.

>>149117247 (OP)
Schef probably just wins it

>>149117435
Yes he does seem to quote unquote piss excellence doesn't he?

rewatching some masters final rounds on youtube...greg norman was literally ADDICTED to humiliation rituals. he cucked himself out of a green jacket by choking so many times i cant believe he didnt neck himself by the turn of the millenium

>>149117478
Norman was always about more than golf, so it wasn't his whole life like some other players, it's why Couples and gang never liked him.
His Reebok apparel was doing $200M per year in the 90s. It's the whole reason Nike went after Tiger so hard, they saw the loot Greg and Reebok were pulling in.

>>149117461
If I was a betting man my money would be on him

>>149117690
Imagine Rory just beasts out and wins by 10 or something crazy.
Or even Phil... >>149117651

>>149117478
96 Masters is THE choke.
>Round 1 hits course record
>clear leader first three days
>SIX (6) stroke lead to start the final round
>still 4 shots up after 7th hole
>tied after 11
>loses by 5 shots.
>still finishes 2nd

>>149117247 (OP)
he cute

>>149118167
it was the golf KWAB of the century without a doubt

Everything about Norman is true but for my money Colin was one of the biggest KWAB of all time

Oakmont feels like an overrated course. I would be ok with not holding the open there in the future.

Fuck sake... Tee time of 18:00. Now I have to either eat dinner at 5 or starve

>>149120071
Ya ever heard of tuna sandwiches?

>>149120115
I can't really eat during play, because it makes me feel bloated af

>>149120154
I'm saying to eat something quick at 5 instead of whatever a normal dinner meal would be and then go play.

>not posting the tee-times

Obligatory Paige photo.

>>149120720
Didn't even cross my mind.
I did make sure there was a Paige pic itt.
see >>149120728

>>149120706
I would say right about now is a good tea time

>>149120728
Still no OF

>>149117327
All Homo needed was ONE friend, acquaintance, family member, or homeless man to agree to carry his bag for him and he would have easily qualified. You can't tell me that carrying your own bag doesn't add enough strain to lose a single stroke or more over 36 holes

>>149122148
You know what's funny, that Matt dude went all the way to Washington state for the qualifier cause he said he knew Ohio and Toronto would be too competitive.

>Every time I two putted at Oakmont, I was passing somebody on the leaderboard

-Lee Trevino

>>149122774
Psycho greens... and they're running at like a 16. It's gonna be a bloodbath

+7 won the Massacre... it'll be worse than that this week.

It's gotta be Scottie or Bryson. It's hard to even imagine a scenario where someone else wins on this setup. If I had to pick a darkhorse I'd go with Henley

Why the fuck is it so difficult for certain retards to drive in a straight line? Because some idiots crashed into each other and blocked the entire motorway and my 20 min trip turned into a 2 hour trip and made me miss my tee time!!!!!!!!!
So... how's everyone else's day going?

Most interested in how Fox and Griffin play.
Been pretty solid and seem like they got a bloodlust for trophies recently.

Bryson by 3 strokes

>>149123893
you snack on tuna sandwiches in the car?

How does Tony Finau keep getting allowed to play in majors?

>>149125441
>>149123183
If Bryson was hardcore he'd play with a junior set and speak directly to the camera on the first tee like it's the intro to one of his youtube videos.

>>149125490
Probably LIV-related OWGR shuffles.

>>149125466
No, I shoved a pizza in my gob at 17:00 and than went on to seethe hard in the car. After a while I even got out and started taking practice swings in the grass next to the road as a warmup hoping to make it on time. Had a nice chat with some people though.

>>149123893
Just be like Scootie, drive around fatal accidents and drag cops in your wake. Gotta make that tee time homie

>>149125771
and bloating wasn't an issue?

>>149125841
No, because there was enough time to digest and burp like a mf. I just can't eat and immediately play on.

>>149117467
Here's the high res original if you want it

Speef might shoot 90 with this rough

Lukewarm take: The LGPA should play Sunday to Wednesday
Between the ~30 or whatever it is pro leagues in the world it is a travesty that outside of the rare "big" college or KF tournament, Mon to Wed on the golf channel is just endless reruns of the same 1 hour sportscenter-esque show and some old dude giving lessons. One channel away is tennis and they always seem to have shit going on

>>149118167
>FALDO'D

>>149127464
Im surprised they haven't done this yet desu. Especially since sports betting has become so widespread, there's a significant demographic of degenerates (like myself) who would bet on and watch LPGA events every week if they were the only game in town monday-wednesday

>>149122844
>It's gonna be a bloodbath
Good. I'd much rather watch pros compete to break 80 than 60.

It's funny to see Brandel and his Irish butt buddy completely reverse their stances on major things like LIV and muh bifurcation over the years

>>149128291
Same lol, makes me feel better about struggling to break 80 with nonexistent rough and pretty flat greens

Johnson Wagner 4 prez

>>149117266
Jordan Spieth will win the 2025 US Open

>>149117247 (OP)
i'm not a golf person at all but i randomly watch some youtube videos of golf streamers and stuff and i'm not that dumb to not know about the masters and stuff like that
(my preface now being over) i saw a lot of stuff on my twitter feed earlier about this oakmont course, i didn't even realize it was for the US open til i saw this thread, what makes it so hard? i saw some video of i think pro golfers asked what a good amateur guy would get on this course and they were like 120+, par is 72 right? seems like a big gulf

i still cant believe how bad the us open at lacc was and that drive on the final hole from wyndham

>>149129430
fast greens and tall rough
landing spots on fairways are narrow and slope away from the middle, a perfect drive can land in the middle of the fairway and roll into the rough

>>149129597
so basically lots of tall grass that you don't want to get in and when you're not in the bad spots the ball moves faster than you'd expect?

>>149129430
Long rough(the tall grass outside the fairways), green speeds comparable to hardwood floors combined with extreme slopes, firm conditions that penalize anything less than perfect shot placement
Even the pros, the best players in the world, are going to struggle to shoot par on this course. I'd wager we will see multiple rounds in the high 80's and maybe even in the 90's Thursday and Friday

>>149129639
interesting. has this course been used for a major before?

>>149129430
in simple terms the usga always tries to make the us open course significantly harder than the typical tour stop. that means narrower fairways, thicker and taller rough than normal, fast and demonically sloping greens, etc.

>>149129660
Yeah, this is the 10th time the US Open has been held there. First one since they did a major remodel, and it's set up much harder than previous times but even prior to that it was a tough course for them

>>149129667
is there a reason for that? or just fuck it why not let's mix up the courses

>>149129685
oh cool. i think golf is cool, like i said i watch youtube highlights and such but i am not from a golf background and have never played it outside of topgolf once or twice so there's still a lot of stuff that is kinda foreign to me

>>149129722
Majors are fun to watch, especially now that there's drama with the LIV guys who only get to play with PGA pros in majors

>>149129695
because the usga realized its more entertaining to watch the best of the best struggle, and people love watching the rory mcilroy's of the world get rattled trying to hack it out of some absurd rough.
the official line is that its the "toughest test in golf" to see who the best really is

>>149129746
i thought the LIV thing was being reconciled and they were gonna merge back, i guess that didnt happen yet? i thought i had read something like that a year or so ago

>>149129761
fair enough, makes sense. all the amateur golfers out there seeing the pros struggle makes them think they can do it too yadda yadda

Worth noting that Russell Henley just beat a stacked field at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and Bay Hill had some gnarly rough. Scottie finished 7 shots off the lead in that tournament. He's among the best on tour at hitting fairways and approach shots. Would be surprised if he doesn't contend this week.

PATRICK REED FROM THE TOP ROPE

>>149117327
>dentist
They want tiger there but he can't, kek.

Yeah, I'm thinkin Ludvig

>>149129766
I don't see any merger, it's obvious that LIV bit off more than they could chew.
Everyone thought they were competition for the PGAT but they're really competition for the Champions tour.
Watching the same "big name" players in no-name tournaments, that what the Champions tour is.
PGAT can wait LIV out, golfers are so streaky top performers change so fast that in another couple years there will be two dozen players better than Rahm and Co.
LIV had promise but they totally overlooked the broadcast part of the equation, they could have done something new in that sense and they've done fuck all.
I see everyone just walking away.

>>149133301
idk LIV still has fuck you money right? I imagine the saudis will get a merge or something they want.

>>149133331
I don't think that's gonna help them, Bryson's rise in popularity (which is all his doing) helped them tremendously.
Without Bryson LIV would be looked upon completely differently right now.
I watch European tour morning and afternoon and PGAT afternoon and evening and I've watched LIV and it just got boring very fast.
American networks love having a superstar, I don't really need that, and golf isn't really set up for that, they all have periods where they're in form and everyone in the field on Thursday has a chance and I'm happy watching Fox or Griffin or Straka as much as I am Bryson or Rahm.
Really don't care if I've never heard of a player before, I've heard of him now.

First group out, pretty entertaining thus far.

>>149133490
I believe LIV lost the battle the moment Tiger snubbed them. If the ultimate icon of the sport tells you to fuck off, you're already 20 over par before you even start.

>tv coverage all day
yowza

/phil, scottie, bryson/

The dentist might be a surprise, he caddied there and he's got like a 200mph ball speed.

is maxwell moldovan the goat?

>>149134835
Certainly seems that way.

scheffy gonna scheff

wouldn't mind Justin Rose getting another major win after his close calls at the open and the masters

The show has officially begun.

Missed the second putt, bogeyed the first hole.

If I started practicing right now, how long would it take me to get better than scheffler?

>>149135007
Rose annoys me a bit, but truth be told I think all English pros got weird personalities. Starting with Faldo and right up to Fitzpatrick.

>>149135219
5-6 decades. Give or take a decade.

Remember when Rory stole a guys phone for heckling him and then got him in trouble on his college team? Biggest fag in golf

>>149135231
I'd agree mostly, although I don't know if I'd call Tommy weird. But I certainly like Rose more than Faldo, and Fitzpatrick is pathetic so I get where you're coming from

>>149135219
At least 2 weeks

>>149135296
Tommy I'd call more odd than weird.
>>149135285
Chamblee is the biggest fag in golf.

Rory's first tournament hole hitting driver, rolls out like 360.
Folks he might be back.

>>149135510
ended up being 392 yard roll out, bloody hell

>>149135510
They just mentioned it, it was 392.

>>149135524
haha yeah, just heard that

any pirate streams of US Open or do i have to shill out?

These are the regular pga live announcers and they're really good. Hated when ESPN forced their ppl in the last major

>>149134765
why is he so mean to the grass? :(

>>149135555
It'll grow back.

Deshambles spazzing out on rules already.

What was the issue with Dechambeau?

>>149135747
Hit it out of play, picked it up, didn't know where to drop it, called for rules official, argued with her, complaining he was being delayed, but in the end he wasn't supposed to touch it in the first place. (I think)

>>149135007
I'm with this guy >>149135231
Fuck Rose, fuck Rory, I hope they both shoot +5 today. Lowry's cool, I wouldn't mind seeing him do well

>>149135296
Fleetwood's wife is like 30 years older than him. He's a certified weirdo

>>149135998
> Fleetwood says it's "never been a thing to us" when people question the 22-year age gap he shares with his wife Clare
jeez you're not kidding, what the fuck tommy

>>149136065
If I recall, she's his childhood best friend's mom or something similar

>>149136065
Couple actors like that, I assume a combination of gay and/or groomed.

>>149136080
yeah why isn't he dating a 20 year old influencer? imagine all the joy he's missing out on

>>149136105
I dont write the rules. You know I am correct though

>>149136077
Can confidently say I've never wanted to date a friend's mother during my childhood, much less committed to it and had a baby with them. Bit going on there

Adam Scott seems allergic to pars today

>>149136105
>t. post-wall roastie looking to settle down

>>149136135
yeah i'm sure this golf general is full of post-wall roasties

Never, your body would being breaking down from aging before you ever got close to playing at a Tour level, let alone Scotty.

He is heating up for sure

Lowry's having a melt

What race is Spaun? Is he a certifiable muttoid?

>>149136470
Pacific Islander I'd say, they seem to pop up in tournaments here and there.
>>149136460
He's not the Hatton, he's the Hatton's Irish cousin.

>>149136454
Bryson just brain farted at 9

>>149117266
The answer is always Bryson because it will cause the most seethe.

He's a mental midget. Joaquin Newman is the best latinx going today

>>149136828
Bryson just Deshit his own pants

I want Bryson or Scottie to win and I’d like Rory to get a devastating second place after a 17th hole mistake.

Hole 12 is eating Bryson and Xander alive.

Either that’s a huge squirrel or he’s holding a marble.

How is this nigga in the lead?

Why can’t golfers from “great” britian or whatever contain their shit? Hatton, Lowry, McIlroy, they’re all hotheads

For me, it’s raisin detry

Brooks dogshit status?

Lowry blood pressure status?

>>149137637
Sharting soon

The USGA closed captioning keeps calling him “Gender” Schauffele lol

>>149133490
Bryson already in negotiations for his next contract with liv and he has them by the balls. His focus on youtubing was genius.
I just spent time in the area around liv Virginia, everyone I talked to was a Bryce homer.

>>149138634

That's Koepka.

whatever happened to will zalatoris?

>>149140460
back injury, tough to comeback to this level after that

>>149140484
>>149140460
Will Zalatoris announced that he re-herniated two discs in his back and underwent surgery, according to the PGA Tour. He will miss the final two major championships of the year, the U.S. Open and the Open Championship. This is the second time Zalatoris has had back surgery in the last year. He was initially sidelined after a microdiscectomy in April 2023. After a successful comeback, he had re-herniated two discs and had to undergo surgery again in May 2025.
Was actually re-injured, I guess. Rough.

Did he create a new lanklet from scraps of meat to caddie for (which would explain why Willy is falling apart)? I remember seeing a guy with an extremely similar look and swing that I would've mistaken for Willy Z if not for his hair. I want to say Smalley maybe?

Scottiebros, what's happening?

>>149143321

Speaking of highways I was at Oakmont today and crossing the bridge over the highway was a clusterfuck. Also I was chilling by 1 and 2 throughout the day and you’d hear people honking repeatedly as they drove through the course. Granted you could barely hear them with the walls blocking the noise, but they were trying to fuck with the players

>>149143321
he is dogshit

I don’t even carry a driver anymore and I’m down four strokes on average

Very few under par, yowza.
Koepka in the mix again.

>>149143321
>only 7 back after round 1
He'll just shoot a couple casual 68s and find himself in the last group on Sunday

Am I crazy or wouldn't you think they'd just throw some temporary turf-esque cover over sprinklerheads while play is actually going

>>149145299
It's like time froze with him and they're still trying the narrative of 5 years ago before he left, when he DID look like he'd be a regular top 5-10 guy pretty soon. He was in the position Aberg was a few months ago until the 72nd hole of the Masters broke him

this course is such a downgrade from pinehurst.
zero trees and a fucking highway next to it. ugly as shit.

>>149141409
For me, it was a young Michelle Wie, and I don't even have yellow fever

>>149146210
It provides the most potential difficulty for the USGA in their setup, but yea it's ugly as shit. It's a crime against humanity that they cut down all the trees.

>>149147469
Greens are gnarly and the rough can be as hard as they want it to be, so in that sense it's the perfect US Open course, but playing on ugly golf courses does suck.

USGA needs harder courses

>>149118167
People always talk about Faldo and '96, but losing the '87 playoff to Larry fucking Mize on that bullshit chip in was BRUTAL

>P's lose an overtime thriller in game 4 after blowing 3 goal lead
Brooks is done. He's currently on his 12th Crown Royal shot and DJ just pulled out an 8 ball

4 under is Thursday lead. I'm guessing +4 wins on Sunday. they're not going to let this tournament be won under par. The USGA is too invested in this meme.

This is of course good news for every +7 and under. I'd take +6 on Sunday and love my chances. The USGA doesn't come to Oakmont to rizz us up, they come to remind us how shit we are.

>>149147649
They really don't. Oakmont, Winged Foot, Olympic, Merion, and Shinnecock. The US Open has madman courses lined up for like the next 40 years.

>>149120728
she'd be hot if it wasn't for her face/makeup

>>149149500
The putt at 18 where it's perfectly on line then the wind blows it left of the hole to force the play-off is absurd.

>>149140885
For anyone wondering how the highway got there.

First albatross at a US Open in about the last 15 years and the fourth in recorded history.

Why is Brooks allowed to use the freeway as a driving range? He was hitting balls on to the turnpike all morning.

Business idea: make the Tour Championship (finale for the Fed Ex Cup) a matchplay event.

Match play sucks. The tour championship should be on a tricked up par 3 course

>>149153947
I already approached the PGA tour with this idea, with the higher seeded players receiving byes, and they spit in my face

The best thing about match play is telling some old man that you’ve got a match all right, his face and that pile of dogshit over there

>>149153850
better to have loved and lost :). :)

I have never seen anybody playing srixion clubs. Those half and half balls were nice though

hovland on fire right now.

>>149154030
I have a set of irons, a hybrid and a 3 wood from Srixon. I love those sticks. I got a nice Srixon bag too.

Who mizuno here

>>149153947
>>149153983
Better idea: make the entirety of the Fed Ex Cup an aggregate score based on the sum of the 4 tournaments. You can still have individual trophies for winners at the specific events, but score the whole playoffs as one lump sum to win the Cup.

>>149154030
I've got a set of srixon irons, the zx5s. They're pretty good, I know some don't like the look but I don't mind it

Pretty close honestly. Drives are around 270.

Not really fussed about averages for total distance instead of carry, but I also wouldn't hit those numbers.
I'm not scratch and I'm not really trying to get there however

>>149155298
Well above all of those numbers but I don't actually play golf. I live at the driving range.

Because you can't talk shit about tiger anymore? Jack Nicklaus on Scheffler: He's playing better than me! Yes we know Jack. You'd be in last place if you played in this tournament in your prime. Don't ever talk shit about TiGOD again.

I always think of Dustin Johnson as the poster child for what the doomsayers said would happen to the 54 guys losing all competitiveness, but Smith is probably the better choice. Dustin was mostly cooked by that point, but Smith was probably the clear #3 guy behind Rahm and Scottie at the time he left and now he's a missed cut machine at majors

>>149156728

Question:

Would it be viable to keep one club in your bag with a sharpened leading edge for aid in getting out of 5+ inch rough like you see at Oakmont?
I'm talking about like a 54 or 56 degree wedge with a leading edge that's honed like a knife and could actually slice through the grass.
Obviously if you struck too high and bladed a shot, you would ruin the ball. But I believe the rules state you can replace a ball at any point that is damaged with a cut or crack.

Just curious if anyone has any input or knowledge of rules that might prevent this?

>>149157252
guy is the biggest fucking baby in golf. what is it with this generation of spaniard golfers that makes them all chodes across the board? i put sergio in here too.

Driver 290-350 if I catch it on the screws
We are not the same

>>149157419
No it wouldn’t be legal to sharpen the leading edge of a wedge in order to slice through grass

>>149158314
I don't mean to get pedantic, but I'm trying to figure out if there's a specific rule that would prohibit it. Like grooves for example have a listed specification that they can't be sharpened beyond, measured in microns.

>>149158445
I don't see how that rule would preclude it.

>>149158482

Or this one.

>>149158527
It’s not “plain in shape” if you’re sharpening one edge to the point you can cut grass with it. The club would be considered non-conforming. If the sharpened bottom edge protruded past the face in any way, it would be non-confirming.

>>149158506
completely legal
>>149158612
retard, have you ever heard of different wedge grinds?

McIlroy not making the cut is he

>Playing Through
AHHHH I HATE CAPITALISM

The club wouldn’t be confirming because the sharpened edge would be considered a gimmick feature

Xandy Bo-Bandy

>>149158612
Yeah I feel like there might be some subjective interpretation of a rule you would run into, and "plain in shape" is a possibility. But where would you draw the line? Plenty of players play with fairly sharp leading edges on wedges.
And I didn't say anything about the edge sticking out. It wouldn't have to. Just a regular edge, but sharper.

Another question would be if a rules official interprets a club you bring for a round as non-conforming, would you then be allowed to replace it with a different club mid-round?

>>149158629
Easy killer. Wedge grind mostly has to do with the angle and shape of the sole, not the leading edge.

>>149158723
Cite the rule against "gimmick features"

>>149158759
>>149158445

>>149158756
> Another question would be if a rules official interprets a club you bring for a round as non-conforming, would you then be allowed to replace it with a different club mid-round?
No you’re not allowed to replace it

>>149158756
Replace it with what, the extra club in your bag?

>Rory ded
>Rose ded
>Lowry ded
Strong euro grouping there, the only one I kinda feel bad for is Lowry

>>149158836

Pro golfers absolutely bring extra clubs with them for tournaments. Fun fact: If you play through 18 for a tie for 1st place, you're allowed to switch out clubs in your bag for the playoff hole(s).

>>149158879
>Fun fact: If you play through 18 for a tie for 1st place, you're allowed to switch out clubs in your bag for the playoff hole(s)
Yes because that’s after the round. You can’t just switch out clubs on the 12th

Pretty low class of Koepka to take a piss off the pedestrian walkway onto the turnpike

>>149158897

1. You can if the club was damaged accidentally,ie tree root, rock, etc.
2. That wasn't what you were talking about. You were talking about whether a player would have extra clubs set aside, which they sometimes do.

>>149158937

If you are looking for class, PGA tour pros are not the guys to be looking at.
Golf is a gentleman's game, but the people who are best in the world at it are superstitious, autistic savants who've lived their entire adult lives in a crucible of gambling and shit talk.

>>149158949
Not on the course and with them they don’t so if a marshal comes along and says “hey guy no go on that wood” he can’t replace the club. He can’t have his caddy run to the hotel room to get another one. If the club is damaged accidentally, then it can be replaced. If it’s damaged intentionally, then it can’t replaced. Not a single pro golfer has 15 clubs in his bag so my statement that he can’t replace a club on the course is still true, toure just a stupid faggot that’s pretending to be stupid that wants to argue as a social substitute so you don’t have to talk to a girl. Please take your cazzie dumb dumb attitude back to redchan.com pal

>>149158977

>>149157419
Pretty sure part of why wedges exist is because their slant pushes grass that would be between the clubface and the ball, under the ball so the player gets better contact.
You don't need to slice the grass you just tuck it away. Slicing it would probably be worse.

>>149120728
not a golfer, please stay on topic

>>149160306
Pretend it's a basedjack or something.

>>149160289

Long enough and thick enough grass around the club and makes a square strike on the club face impossible.
Slicing the grass would eliminate or reduce this resistance.

>>149160408

idk man If it worked Bob Vokey would have marketed it already.

>>149164171
>Scottie shoots 2 70's to win
Would be pretty kino

>>149164083
He went deep into the woods. He didn't want to expose his hog to the TV tower.

My pre-tournament midrange pick was Henley and I love his position rn. He's so good when setups are difficult. Burns is the best putter in the world, but eventually some of his errant shots will catch up with him. And I expect the USGA to ramp up the difficulty over the weekend.

Is Ben Griffin just on a heater, or do you guys think he has staying power? He's playing like a top 5 player in the world right now.

>>149165580
Nah, he doesn't have the panache to be a long term contender. He's just found a groove for the moment

>>149165875
Agreed. His swing also doesn't seem like it'll hold up. He's going as hard as he can at every pass. Very uncomfortable looking and that timing (or his health) will fail.

>>149165580
>>149165875
>>149167289
Maybe I just want to root for the underdog but I think he's got a well rounded game and has it together mentally so I don't see any reason there should be a fall off coming soon, as long as he can stay healthy. I actually think it's an advantage that he took the long route to get there and experienced something much more terrifying than any golf shot, the prospect of working an office job for the rest of your life. He's playing with enough house money to buy multiple houses.

Bryson's autism is his greatest strength and weakness. Obsessively attacking golf from every angle is great, uniform length on all of your irons not so much. If he would just dial back the tism and use the correct clubs for his game, he'd be so much better. For a guy that hits the ball 400 yards, his wedge game is kinda shit cuz he has so little control.

>>149167490
if it was possible to dial in autism humans would be living on mars by now. you have to take the bad with the good #bornthisway

>>149167656
