OT: Golf - US Open 2019

[Tenspro2002]

That will do it.

I don't watch a lot of golf but I have never seen a chip/pitch from one part of the green to another part of the green, and Woodland almost nailed it.

He was like a football field away on the green. Amazing shot to get it that close!

Rose wilted like a flower.

But a total class act. He’ll be back.

 

[UconnU]

Finishing third(fourth?) in the US open while finishing dead last in greens in regulation is a feat in and of itself.

 

[Fishy]

That was just an amazing shot.

I was convinced that he'd blink with Koepka running at him - that's a brave win for that dude.

 

[Chin Diesel]

260 over that trap and he didn’t lay up? Big balls deserves this major.

Can't confirm but I thought I a cartoonish set of nuts peeking out from the gallery.

Fact about Gary Woodland(I turned off the stream not sure if they mentioned this). His wife was just pregnant with twins a girl and a boy. The girl died prematurely and the boy survived. Happy father’s day Gary!

 

[superjohn]

What a way to end it, Woodland was unbelievable the whole tournament.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Next year's rough at Winged Foot will be a foot deep, fairways 15 yards wide and greens faster than fast.

I feel very confident saying 2020 winner won't be double digits below par.

>>The couple just announced they are expecting twin boys in August which is especially significant given they lost one of their twin babies during their 2017 pregnancy.<<

I found this fact on social media. I was told everything on social media should be believed.

Might need to tweak his irons. Was short hole after hole.

 

[UconnU]

Going back to Koepka though his last few major finishes are almost comical 1,1,2,1,2 lol. 2.4 strokes gained against competition in the final round of majors. Tiger woods type numbers.

 

[Jaker]

wire to wire, always impressive

 

[ZenConn]

Impressive win. Good win for a good guy. He has one of the best stingers on tour as well.

This low screamer by Gary Woodland is already the coolest shot of 2019 - Golf Digest

A pretty good basketball player as well.

Kirk Hinrich ended Gary Woodland's basketball career, according to Gary Woodland - Golf Digest

I believe I heard one of the announcers say that Rose changed all his equipment this year. Maybe was a bad choice...

 

[gtcam]

Koepka is a lion
Taking nothing from Woodland - he led from start to finish
But Koepka is going to be a contender for years. Felt bad for Rose, he is such a class act.
I was hoping for a Kuchar victory - he has to be the best golfer never to win a major
A great weekend of golf - what quality shots

Justin Rose signs with Honma; multi-year, 10-club deal could include driver, irons, wedges

Justin Rose, World No. 1, called "an important milestone in Honma’s efforts in global professional golf"

Honma good name in golf but not well known. My buddy bought some woods and irons after Rose announced (he's a big Ebay seller) and he was hoping for Rose to win this weekend makes a big difference. While he's having trouble selling the stuff it has little to do with Rose's weekend issues. He was playing really well even with wins early on after the transition he's just having trouble with his swing. He was short way too often and not nearly at the green enough. Amazing he was still in it after 63 holes he was so off tee to green.

Woodland was solid, mentally tough. Liked what he said about how everyone thought the trailing players would be taking it to him but he said he was going to remain aggressive end felt he was playing good enough to take it to them. Easy to say but hard to do in your first actual last grouping in a major but he nailed it happy for him. Really thought he was in huge trouble with Brooks start that was whacked with 4 of 5 birdies and actually missed on the 6th by a quarter of an inch for 5/6. Fun watch late Sunday on Fathers Day.

As an aside, thought what Tiger did said a lot about him. I mean bogey 4 of the first 6 and even though you're not in contention somehow grind back with pride and throw 6 under the last 12 there? Good stuff what I am unhappy to hear is he won't play until Ireland - just can't win without playing!

You would like Kuchar, biggest phony on tour.

If you have more than that awful tipping the caddie incident let me know. Maybe he is but it would seem like he's well liked overall by fellow players and fans alike. Not sure one bad decision makes you a phony for life but hey I could be wrong here.

Ex-PGA Tour caddie: Matt Kuchar ‘is the biggest phony out there’

Except Tiger never came from behind until this year at The Masters.

We can only hope. I get that the weather didn’t cooperate but 38 yard wide fairways? Come on. That’s St. Catherine of Baltic Annual Golf tournament and Bocce tournament layout, not the United States Open

Right. Saturdays were moving days for Tiger but his Sunday numbers were even better. He absolutely dominated the field on sundays to the point where no one could catch up. Equally as impressive.

I don’t like how they made Pebble Beach easier this year. The 14th hole used to the toughest par 5 in the world, it played easy last weekend. I like watching these guys struggle, like Oakmont in 2016.
