You're fucking lost dude. Give it up. Dude isn't going to go through a stretch like he did when he was the most dominant golfer in the world every week, but if you watched any of last weekend, you saw a dude who is finally comfortable with his swing and I believe was the leader in GIR. If he can get it tee to green like he did last week, in rough conditions, he has a better shot than anyone.0 -

How about last years British open winner you really think he's got a better shot than Tiger?0 -

Nice win by Dusty Johnson after his injury. Just a classy player. He deserves it.

Anybody else watch The Big Break? I usually only get into the women episodes but really like this competition.
Way back when it was first starting I thought they should have done Big Break Fore and brought in a bunch of hackers to try these challenges.#FHP0 -

Everybody in the field should be able to get within 150 for their third. It is too long, and a ridiculous feat to make a bird on it, its not impossible. It should be challenging, it's the US Open.
sounds like the problem is you can't bomb it off the tee ... so, if you have to lay up off the tee and everyone has to hit to the same spot - there is no particular advantage for the lengthy hitters ...0 -

FenwayFaithful wrote:I haven't seen the actual hole yet, but a modest driver/3wood off the tee for these tour players is prob 250. With a driver/3wood from the deck in that common spot on the fairway at 240-250 should leave 170-180 for a third shot. Certainly manageable for any tour pro (prob a 9 iron for Tiger). It is super long, and arguably too long, but Phil (and others) should be able to handle it, given they hit the fairway (which ultimately is what the US open is all about, and ultimately the reason why Phil hasn't won, coming up short 5 times).
ya ... not sure ... i think they also mentioned the hole playing into the wind ... having said that - they wrote bubba went driver off the tee and driver off the fairway and was 60 yds short ... soo ... it doesn't shock me if guys are gonna be hitting hybrids or long irons into this par 5 ...0 -
