U.S. Open at Bethpage Black

[PhatMack19]

The field won the Masters. Who do you have in the Open?

[PhatMack19]

If Tiger hits fairways like he did at the Memorial, he could win by 5+ strokes.

[Lazeek]

I hope Tiger wins, but I am picking either Geoff Ogilvy or Sergio Garcia to finally win a major!!!!

Go Americans!!!!!!! ;D ;D

Garcia is a Spaniard and Ogilvy is Austrailan I think. Go Americans?

Tiger is a 4-1 favorite and Phil is 6-1. David Duval is 500-1

[AggiesAreWe]

I'll take the field every day and twice on Sunday. Anything else is a stupid bet.

[bullets13]

agreed, Aggie, but seeing as i have no money on it, i'm going to pick tiger.  the way he played in his last tournament, and in his last US Open, it's pretty tough to pick against him.

[RonBurgundy68]

I got Phil in this one... He is due for a major win, and with his current situation with his wife, would make it even better...

No Kidding!!!!!!!!!!

I know where they are from.  I feel that they will compete and possibly win, but ultimately I am pulling for an American!!!!!!!!!  Duh!!!!!!

I know more about golf that any other member on this forum.............do NOT question my golf intellect!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Please accept my humble apology. I will try to refrain from offending the SETX golf guru.

Meanwhile, while Lefty is normally not my favorite, I'm pulling for him this time. He needs a break, and besides, his wife wants the trophy! My wife would want the check and for me to put "my" trophy in the garage.

Go Phil!

Oh yeah, I'm gonna also pull for David Duval. He's been playing like me for a couple of years. He says hes got his swing back. We'll see...

[baddog]

If Jim Furyk could make a short putt......yeah I know.....I'll take Furyk.

Lazeek, aren't you also an expert on the proper way to retrieve your ball from a water hazard?  ;D

Hope the rain doesn't affect play too much. The USGA has already said no lift, clean, and place for the Open. The weather should make the course play very long, but the greens should hold long irons, so it should be exciting.

Mud on the ball. > That's one of the few things I hate while playing.

yeah, i usually just end up with rough on mine.

[bullets13]

the leader is at -2, tiger is at +1, and is tied for 8th.  i love watching golf tournaments where they really have to struggle just to shoot 70!

[PhatMack19]

Tiger plays the last 4 holes at +4 to shoot 74. Still a lot of golf to play.

[numbertwo]

I'm personally going for one of the younger guys, either Camilo or AK.  Kim is probably my favorite golfer even though he has struggled a little bit this year.

U.S. Open fans heckle Tiger Woods

BY JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER AND PATRICK WHITTLE

"We're on Long Island, baby, where men are men!" one fan yelled. "Put that umbrella down!"

"Suck it up, you've got your own video game!" someone shouted at Woods

he's definitely in the hunt!

It was starting to get interesting and I've lost the feed. Anyone else?

We have golf back.

[RonBurgundy68]

Barnes better step it up... Glover has a chance to come back...

[bullets13]

you gotta feel bad for the guys who got screwed by being in the morning flight for the first two rounds (tiger included).  the conditions were infiinitely easier for those in the afternoon flight, as represented by the fact that only one player from the morning flight was in the top 10 after the second round.

[baddog]

This course is very unforgiving. The primary cut of rough, usually you can't see the ball. This course, you can't see your feet.

Yes the rough is brutal, but keep in mind that the fairways are like 25% wider than in 2002 when the US Open was last at Bethpage Black.  The rain has made this course easier and harder at the same time.  Rough is tough with the depth of it and it makes it even harder when it is wet grass.  On the other hand the fairways are wider and very soft which in turn makes them play even wider than they really are.

I am no hopeful that either Phil or Duval comes from behind tomorrow.  Both would make wonderful side stories!!!!!
