This is a great tournament and what a fantastic course! The tournaments where winner is 20 under par don’t do much for me- it’s almost depressing when the gap between how the pros and me, for example, is so large. But this course is bringing the best in world golfers to their knees, and all their bad shots are ones I hit all the time. Loving it!
Who wins it tomorrow? I’m thinking Rahm.
 
Rahm looks good but tough last hole in those bunkers.
 
I wish every course on tour was required to be as tough as the US Open courses always are. It's so much more fun watching these guys whiff in the rough like a weekend hacker. It makes the final day insane with all the movement, you can sink your entire tournament in a single hole
 
Everyone in the final 6 pairings were over par with Rahm and Scheffler the best at plus 1. Total score for those 12 players was 50 over par.

Players finishing with a total score under par went from 23 to 9. Pretty much every qualifier near the top of the leaderboard at the start of the day melted down.

I think it's time for Zalatoris to break through, but hard to bet against Rahm with his experience and grindability.

Probably too many players for Rory to jump over to contend. He did miss a bunch of long puts by an inch - his day could have been much different with 4 or 5 balls the did 1/2 more rotation.

It can fall apart quickly on that course. If all golf courses had that kind of rough there would be far fewer golfers, but even the pros try to do too much out of it at times.
 
I just don't see anything predictable about this tournament and this course. The likely contenders are the top 9 guys to -1 but looking at the leaderboard there's guys all the way down to +2 that could make a run tomorrow. It's the best thing about golf imo.. Just can't be sure.
 
I think the winner is at -1 or better. Any one of them can do it, I think it will be Fitz (not exactly going out on a limb there)

That would be great but it's now a two-hole aggregate.

I thought they stayed with the 18 next day? I mean with 3:40 start times for the last group they won’t have much time after if this is true!

2:45 tee times for last group today....Sunday. It is a 2 hole aggregate...then sudden death.
100% chance of rain this morning. Hope it doesn't lead to pushing tee times back or they might have trouble
finishing.

Z breaks thru.
BTW: Keegan Bradley...huge local fav: his wife is a niece of Carlton Fisk. Fisk of 6th game homer fame.
Nickname Pudge. Nieces and nephews call him Uncle Pudge.
 
I'll go with Fitz today.
Sleeper pick for someone a bit further back is Gary Woodland at +1. If he can shoot a 67 and get in clubhouse at -2, that will be a solid target to make others match.

Greens will be more receptive today with the morning rain, clouds and cool temps all day. Rough will be worse though.

2:45 is final tee time. Playoff is hole 18 and 1. First tee is at 8:49, yesterday was an hour later.

I won some cash on the Warriors winning on Thursday, so I decided to put $3 on Zalatoris before he teed off Friday morning - feeling pretty good! Loooooong way to go, and I know how iffy he can be with the putter..
 
Gonna be really interesting to see the Rahm Keeg pairing. Will Slow play frustrate Rahm into losing his cool?
Not a Keegan fan but him winning here would be really cool

Rory made everything in sight yesterday. At one point he had one-putted 8 out of 9 holes and most of them were outside of 10 feet. He was very lucky he didn’t shoot 80.

Bradley will get a big push from crowd. It will be interesting to see if Rahm can play off of it like it's a Ryder Cup match.
 
Once again NBC blows in its broadcast with the excessively frequent and repetitive commercials, especially the "playing thru" commercials.
 
Rory is a roller coaster thru 7. One par, three birds, three bogeys.

Scheffler looks to be pulling away now, but the back nine might have a say in that.
 
This is gonna come down to the wire.
11, the 100 yard par 3 may eject a couple guys
Too bad it’s not fast and firm, was hoping for standard fare US Open carnage

That approach shot from Zalatoris is one of the more incredible shots I’ve seen. Doesn’t need a putter when he gets that close.

Zal is putting just fine

He wasn’t necessarily an hour an a half ago when he had the yips on a few. He’s playing well though. He is a notoriously bad putter though
