126th U.S. Open thread

I need Wyndham Clark to fire a 78 or so today. Not feeling having a guy who trashed Oakmont’s locker room last year leading this year.

Does the cut line get as low as +6? Conditions for the afternoon squad look pretty difficult. Bam Bam and Hovland are at +4 with two to go today.

Sorry I picked him to win!

I'm living and dying on every Fitzpatrick shot. Bet $25 on him to win, would collect $600.

I'm an idiot and degenerate for betting golf, I know. Have several other individual matchup bets that I'm struggling to keep an eye on, too.

I thought he was remorseful. That’s what Jim Nantz said when he won the Byron Nelson. Would Jim Nantz lie about something like that? Do I need to use the sarcasm font?

Valor Christian douchebag. F that guy.

Am I supposed to be impressed with NBC's coverage today? Cuz I'm not.
And that's with the sound almost muted.

 

[SixToe]

I can't stand the bumpers, or intros-outgoes, or whatever they're called. Sappy music, some tale of wind and Shinnecock and character-building play. Blah blah blah f'king blah.

They could ust say "And we're back, on 13 now with Dip**** McGillicuddy set to tee off" instead of the sappy crappy stuff and be done.

Shut. Up. And. Show. Golf. Shots. It's astonishing how badly they muddle a telecast. Just show golf shots!

This asshole is going to go from trashing the locker room to winning the damn thing a year later.

 

[Della9250]

Now it would take an all-time collapse

 

[maumann2]

Fewer people around the 18th tee right now than my local muni on a Saturday afternoon.

 

[MileHigh]

Now it would take an all-time collapse

Please let it happen.

But his sports psychologist said he was a good guy. Of course they only alluded to Oakmont until they threw it back to Hicks

For the optimists, one of the greatest "You hate to see it" moments in golf history.

Been away on vacation so haven’t watched much. Competitive leaderboard if Clark wasn’t on it.

Doesn’t look like it’ll be much to watch today unless there’s an epic, all-time collapse. Which I hope for but don’t expect will happen.

I generally don’t root against golfers. Clark is one of my exceptions to the rule.

I was rooting for Clark up until yesterday I discovered he’s a MAGA/FF Supporter/Jan 6 Denier; I hope he pulls a Norman ala ‘96. Seriously.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Didn’t you bet on him?

 

[qtlaw]

Good memory! Yeah I s*ck. Willing to forfeit the $$.

In the last 15 minutes, we've seen 8 commercials, a 5-minute fellating of the USGA, and maybe 6 shots
