Some solid pairings...

US Soccer game tomorrow, US Open next week. Hell yeah

Awesome win for Berger. Kid can play. Hate his Sergio swing though.

3 days of work then off to Oakmont!

yes!! ... first major for brooke ... 65 on sunday and then just stuffing it on playoff hole ...

check out fowler's vid of greens at oakmount ... cut's gonna be at like +7

Yeah, Twitter was going kind of crazy about this yesterday. Didn't see it though. Beat Ko, right?

Have seen a bunch of videos. They just tap the ball and it runs off the green. And if you just drop the ball in the rough it disappears. Players haven't been complaining yet though. Don't think you can complain about Oakmont though.

ya ... beat ko in a playoff ... none of the top 3 women made bogey on Sunday ... it was impressive stuff all around ...

i think the greens are gonna be like a nascar race where you are gonna witness some major carnage ... enjoy your trip! ... i know you'll be cheering for sergio and poulter ... haha

That's cool. I haven't watched any of it, but apparently the LPGA is pretty impressive right now.

ha, yeah, I think I heard on a podcast today that a few of the greens could hit 18 on the stimp. I didn't think that existed or was even possible. Carnage everywhere. Thanks, man. haha, I could not imagine having to stomach either of them winning this tournament. Thankfully I don't think I'll have that problem.

Man if you guys saw me yesterday stick a hybrid from 210 yards out to within six feet of the hole (against a strong wind, carrying a big water hazard to boot), you'd think I should be playing in Oakmont this week.

And if you saw me yank the birdie putt (never flirted with going in), you'd see why I'm not.

HA. such is golf...

Sure is. A few holes later I sunk a 30-foot putt from off the fringe......to save double bogey.

Because of course...hell of a game.

Our national championship is underway.

I'm not betting on him to win since the odds stink, but I like Rory this week. This his game off the tee will make the difference and that everyone will miss putts. Don't see it coming down to a putting contest though if boy wonder makes those 10 footers for par that he always made last year, he may be tough to beat

I'll be going with featured group #2 here at work. Speith, Johnson, and DeChambeau

Sounds like a 6 hour round between those 3

That's okay. It's an eight hour work day.

Haha indeed
