OT: 2022 US Open (Golf)

[M.S.G.]

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

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.

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.

 

[storrsroars]

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.

Zalatoris putts like I do

Zalatoris putts like I do

He's better than you with his irons.

 

[LIuconn]

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

 

[HuskyHawk]

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.

 

[NJHusky]

Let’s see what Matsuyama posts

 

[MDHuskFan]

He's better than you with his irons.

He’s better than most the world with his irons. Stud, just can’t put.

 

[LIuconn]

Zal is putting just fine

 

[LIuconn]

11 proving tough, all 108 yards. Not for Willy Z

 

[MDHuskFan]

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

 

[storrsroars]

These last few holes have been pretty danged exciting.

 

[storrsroars]

Now it's become verrrrry interesting with Fitz on the beach.

 

[storrsroars]

Thought Zalatoris was gonna sink that. Nice win by Fitz.

Great tournament. Look forward to it coming back to Brookline.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Great golf! Either outcome would have been fine with me.

Now it's become verrrrry interesting with Fitz on the beach.

Getting out of there was amazing.

Zalatoris putts like I do

His irons he doesn’t need to be a good putter

 

[uconngb]

Where’s the guy that called -14??

Great event hope they bring it back in sooner than 34 years, more than a worthy venue.

 

[uconnfan68]

Now it's become verrrrry interesting with Fitz on the beach.

Now that was a golf shot…

 

[Edward Sargent]

That was a lot of fun to watch! Great back story about Fitz only third to win amateur and pro Opens on same course

 

[Chin Diesel]

Matt Fitzpatrick won 2013 US Amateur at this course and is ranked #18 in the world. Don' see him listed but he's worth a look.

Worth a long look.
