Well it's Sunday and it is very apparent that the USGA has slowed the course down tremendously. My guess is thru extra water on the greens as well as much more manageable pin placements. So it will probably come down to handling the nerves and not making big mistakes.

Yup, they put a whole bunch of pins right in the center of the greens. Pathetic.

I have lost interest already. There is no way on the last day of the US Open that there should be this many scores under par, even on one of the easier courses that these guys have played in past Opens. "The Cock" is not one of those courses.

Yes, the course is as easy as pie today. Birdies all over the place. They got what they wanted.

I hate when golfers whine about the course. The set up is the same for everyone. The fact that weather conditions change how it plays throughout the day is a part of golf and always has been.

Just amazing the Koepka has three total wins on the PGA tour and two of them are US Opens.

He must practice at vacant Walmart parking lots.

If the USGA was in charge of Walmart parking lots they would be made entirely of dirt.

I’m not talking About the weather. And I’m not talking about this particular course because I haven’t seen a single hole of golf played this year. But you can certainly set up a course to be a test of luck. For instance you strike your ball right down the middle of the fairway and it lands in a divit. Once in a while is just a Rub of the green, but if the fairway is filled with so many divits that it happens regularly then it just becomes a test of luck.

That’s an issue at every single tournament because they all hit the ball roughly the same distance.

Golf has lost me, about the only player I want to watch win anymore is Ricky Fowler and he gets close but has a hard time pulling it off in a major. It'd be great to see Tiger winning again but until then my interest is minimal.

I know I do. There's one parallel to our 14th fairway.
