The US Open at Oakmont

[PhatMack19]

Starts today.  Who wins?

[PhatMack19]

The course is going to be brutal from what's being reported.  It's almost not fun to watch when the golfers can't even make shots.  Look for over par to win

 

#8 is playing as a 288 yard par 3

#12 is a 684 yard Par 5 which is the longest in major history.  

[PhatMack19]

Early leader is Andrew Landry from Port Neches, Texas

 

Andrew is -2 through 8

[baddog]

684 yard par 5? My 5th shot would be my approach.

You have to love it when the Pea Patched gets mentioned on a national broadcast.

Missed that. Cool.

[PhatMack19]

Landry bogied #7 & #8 to drop to -3. He still has a 1 shot lead when play was rained out for the day on his last hole of the day.  He started  his round on hole #10.

 

He has a birdie put on 9 if the weather would ever let up.

Landry made his birdie putt on his last hole to shoot a 4 under 66.  He currently leads by 1 

[PhatMack19]

I'm listening on the radio.  I thought this was pretty great

 

Golf announcer talking about a downhill putt.

"It's so fast, I don't know how he can possibly control this.  It's like trying to control 2 yr old quadruplets with a birthday cake"

 

 

[PhatMack19]

Dustin Johnson has hit 25 greens in a row.  Wow

 

He's now tied with Landry for the lead at -4.  Landry won't start his 2nd round until Saturday morning.  

[PhatMack19]

Landry has hit a rough spot

 

Bogey, bogey, double to drop to even par.

They have #12 playing 617 today. Different tee box? The greens so big they can move the hole placement for that yardage? Lol

Landry finished strong with birdies on 13, 17, & 18.   He shot 71 this morning and is now -3 on the tournament.   He's right in the mix going into the final 2 rounds.  

[PhatMack19]

Landry is in 2nd and will be in the final group with Dustin Johnson.

 

Mickelson, McIlroy, Els, & Fowler all missed the cut 

[baddog]

There are no easy shots on this course. The greens are so slippery, they might as well play on concrete. Unbelievable how much the yardage changes from tee box to hole placement.

[PhatMack19]

Landry birdies and is back atop the leaderboard at -4

 

He's pretty steady out there.  Hitting fairways and making pars is how you win this tourney.

They finished up early this morning.  Lowry with the round of his life.
