    Welp, Bubba's fallen apart. So much for the grand slam.

    Ha, that would have a bogey if it wasn't a birdie.

    dude just hasn't played much and i think the us open is not gonna be as forgiving as augusta was if you're off the fairway ...

    Very solid round from Tiger and he could have been better.

    Anyone still watching? Or is all the excitement drained now that Tiger and Phil are finished. Who is Michael Thompson? Kuchar's at -1. Nobody goes wire to wire on this thing, so there'll be some volatility tomorrow I think. And Graeme doesn't look to be out of control. There's nothing worse than a Graeme out of control.

    Was at work today and missed Tiger. Glad to see him finished tied for second.

    Course is going to be brutal come sunday...so many balls just wouldn't sit on the greens and it was only thursday. The trio of Westwood, Mcilroy and Donald had a nightmare out there. I guess you can say Tiger is tied for the lead, because as solid as Thompson played, don't think he'll be around come sunday.

    Yeah, -1 is a great score especially when you see what some of these other guys are shooting out there. That 670 yard par 5 is just plain ridiculous. I think I’d have to hit 3 of the best shots of my life to get on there in 3.

    I do like when these big tournaments are on the west coast…get a little prime time golf action. I should be able to catch most of Tiger’s groups 2nd round after work

    Same for me yesterady and today. I don't understand why they would tee off the tiger/pihl/bubba group later in the afternoon so everyone can watch it (with them being in CA and the east coast getting out of work at 5ish)..

    Also, the online leaderboard for the US Open has NOTHING on the Masters' online leaderboard! The Masters' leaderboard was so great and gave you all of the stats you wanted, and updated automatically! I don't even think they update the US Open leaderboard site for hours at a time....

    4:15 I believe.

    For those are work, there is a marquee group feed on the US Open site. Was awesome yesterday. Watched the Tiger group for the full 18.

    I had it on last night but was doing other things so only caught parts. I wouldn't be surpsrised if Thompson shoots in the high 70's today.

    Rory is in a rough spot right now.

    Donald is easily the most overrated number 1 since they started the OWR.

    didn't read it but its true ... he is awful ...

    as for donald ... i think it's one of those perspective issues on the value of majors ... can you truly be a number 1 without winning majors!? ...

    true...i'm not saying that luke being #1 was right but that's how the rankings are determined...but the way the world rankings are determined needs to be overhauled

    ya ... it's not too bad ... you look at these guys that have a decent ranking but have never played a us pga event and they show up at majors and WGC events and hold their own ...

    i watched luke play yesterday and dude isn't hitting it awful ... he's like a metre off every shot ... it's that precise out there ... just looking at the scores so far ... not many people are under par today ...

    The OWGR is a joke, the way they calculate the rankings is completely flawed, it's worse than the BCS.

    Looks like fowler is done 6 over after 9 he's 3 over the current cut line. Only 6 guys under par today hopefully Phil can make a run later.
