125th U.S. Open thread

[I Should Coco]

As much as they ramble on about BS I'm surprised the announcers haven't mentioned JJ Spaun is Type 1 diabetic. At least I haven't heard it mentioned

Wow … that makes the hour-plus break even tougher for him.

 

[MileHigh]

Hatton looks like he's about to go Wyndham in the locker room.

Can't bogey 17, my man.

 

[MileHigh]

Reminder: Playoff is two holes. Thankfully, no longer the stupid 18-hole format.\\\

And again: No playoff tonight.

Spaun not only just needs two putts but Hovland puts his ball almost on the same line, so he'll get a read on line and speed.

If you step back and think about the last three hours, this has been absolutely nuts.

 

[MileHigh]

Yeah, no kidding. It's Oakmont. It does this. Crazy stuff.

 

[MileHigh]

Damn, Hovland gave it a shot. Didn't leave it short. He'll get a major at some point. J.J. would take that putt.

 

[MileHigh]

HOLY ****!

HE WON IT!!!

 

[Jake from State Farm]

It’s a birdie!!!

 

[jr/shotglass]

HOLY ****.

 

[maumann]

WOW! What a putt.

 

[MileHigh]

Yeah, buddy, you can cry. God damn!

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

He damn near quit this game

 

[Jake from State Farm]

I hate to say this but Spaun is probably the least distinguished Open winner since Steve Jones. Doesn’t matter. He deserves it all the way

 

[MileHigh]

Take that Oakmont. Under par wins.

Classy by MacIntyre. What else can you do?

 

[Deskgrunt50]

Outstanding. Good for Spaun.

 

[maumann]

How weird that two guys are still playing on the course in relative obscurity now?

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Spaun stays sane in two days of rain

 

[MileHigh]

Feel for Burns. Had a great 54 holes.

Michael Campbell says hello.

This was actually pretty reminiscent of 2005, where the guys at the top when play started (Goosen and Jason Gore) were nonfactors at the end.
