OT: US Open

Harris English made himself a couple hundred thousand on his last five holes, even though he was completely out of contention at the time. That's how you climb a money list, lol.

As it should be. DeChambeau's strategy of hitting it long as possible and taking risks on his lie in rough should not be rewarded. This is why, unless he changes his game dramatically, he'll never seriously compete at The Open Championship, and probably not the Masters, not because of the mostly non-existant rough, but because it's more like target golf where there are specific places one needs to land their ball and other places where you just can't.

yeah, I don't like brysons game at all or his personality
 
Too bad Bryson didn't hit it into that Stella 12-pack box.
 
I've never played Torrey, but (other than the cliffs) it reminds me a bit of La Costa Champions, which had, I believe 96 bunkers that were seriously in play. I think my wife hit a third of them. But Torrey looks like it has sand everywhere. I don't recall so many players playing bunker to bunker in a Major as this weekend.

How does Oosthuizen flare one 30 yards off line with a middle iron from middle of the fairway???

Helluva finish by Rahm.

Seemed like last nine was players taking themselves out with poor play and Rahm absolutely won it with his play and those putts.

Great ending.

His risk calculus was also different initially apparently. Cost him $1.7M. He’s an adult and knew the rules and the risks. Not sure why this is triggering you so much.

And I‘m pretty sure he doesn’t gaf now.

but you guys keep wagging your fingers. He makes 1.7m just to have his likeness used I bet.

I was pulling for Louis. But Rahm prevailed and it‘s nice to see some karma.
 
When there were 10 guys all within a stroke, I thought we might have one of most amazing finishes ever with 3 or more guys going to a playoff.

Really fizzled as the course and nerves took player after player out before the 16th. After Louis' drive on 17 it was just waiting for everyone to clear the course so you could give the trophy to Rahm.

OK - on to the Open Championship next month.

We came close to a multi player playoff last year at the PGA and this US open. It has to happen soon

Some bad swings off the tee are being harshly punished by Torrey.

Course has been the star the past hour as it is chewing up and spitting out these pros. No wayward swing goes unpunished.

The course is just a nasty bully. Used to have more trees, but was only 7,000 yds when I played there. Could never break 80 there when I was usually playing in the 70s.

I think they were aiming for them. The rough was penal, but you could play out of most of the fairway bunkers. The other option was to put it outside the ropes and hope the crowd flattened the grass for you. I still prefer fairways though.

Rory, Casey, Bryson and Hughes have all been bad putting, but Morikawa was truly awful.

Putting there is always an adventure. Lots of contours, slopes, and ocean effect. Putts literally break toward the ocean… uphill… on some holes.
I was surprised to see almost no one playing in the fairways on some holes.
