US Open Running Thread

Riviera would be intriguing.

 

Had to laugh at the "Fayettenam"
Bunch of good friends of mine in Denver have a hatred for "Saudi Aurora".

 

All of my military friends who lived there at some point call it that ...

 

Or Fayrut.

 

Riviera was supposed to get one in the 2020s, but I think it's going to LA Country Club instead.

 

Future US Open sites we know about so far.

• 2017 -- Erin Hills
• 2018 -- Shinnecock Hills
• 2019 -- Pebble Beach
• 2020 -- Winged Foot
• 2021 -- Torrey Pines
• 2022 -- The Country Club (Boston)
• 2023 -- LA Country Club
• 2024 -- Pinehurst No. 2

 

We hear the phrase all the time about how the USGA loses a golf course during the US Open.
The shining example of that is the 2004 US Open at Shinnecock.
That is the one that got away.
Not the clubs fault.

 

This week....
I like Day and Spieth to win and/or finish top 5. If those two fail, I think it'll likely be another no-name.
If Rory sniffs the top 10 I'll be impressed.

Again, I have NO faith in DJ to close.

 

Spieth at +850 is my play this week. Keeping it simple. I'm over trying to pick out the 20-1 "sleeper."

 

I was at that one too. The humidity was ridiculous in Tulsa that weekend. I went hoping to see Tiger win No. 5 in a row and instead Retief Goosen led wire-to-wire.

 

Hell, DJ has NO faith in DJ to close.

Luckily for him, he has this to help soften the blow when he gets home.

"Soften the blow?"
