    Wow. Good luck to your buddy man. He hasn’t shown the ability to close well, but I hope he gets it done for the $6K lol

    Louis might be tough to beat. He can get it done. And if rose can ball strike like he’s capable of AND continue putting like this, no one will touch him. Should be a fun day!

    It is still wide open at this point.   I think Woodland could close it out.  He has had a couple great 4th rounds with the lead only to be eclipsed by course record rounds to finish 2nd.   He still played well enough to win 90% of the time.

    Impressive stuff out of Woodland.

    Top 3 predictions in order:

    1.  Rose
    2.  Koepka 
    3.  Woodland

    Woodland saved par on miraculous shots/putts yesterday more than once. That won’t continue today.

    I agree that Rose wins it. 

    Koepka is a beast out there.  Closest thing we have seen to Tiger's greatness (but only at the majors).  Even four back people are treating him as the favorite.

    Woodland hanging on. This is set up for a great finish.

    I should not play Pebble until I can get out of the sand.  If Justin Rose hits in the sand every other hole than I know I would every hole.

    They’ll be sold out everywhere. Fantastic shoes.

    Congrats to Woodland.  I don't know how the pros can keep their nerve when the margin for error is so small. 

    You shouldn't feel good if you are a shorter hitter.   This was a course that was supposed to even the playing field and the top two are longer hitters on the tour.

    Yeah that was awesome.  And to do it on Father's Day after all the shit him and his family have been through just makes it that much sweeter.

    Yeah, man. Mentioned the other day too, I was with a buddy who won $6k on it.  $200 pool, 30 people. Winner takes all. Was a draft and he knows nothing about golf so just said, give me whoever is next best...he was 27 out of 30 and boom, Woodland.  Bastard.

    No complaints about the USGA from the players which is a bit disappointing. I wish it would have played a little harder, but there were some big scores out there and there isn't much they could have done.  Just a short course with small greens and the weather made it easy.  Good tournament all around.

    It gets a little old week to week hearing the announcers say it is an impossible up and down and then the pro usually does it.  This week it was nice to see the players miss in the wrong place and see their chips or pitches roll 15 feet past.  Not as often as it should in a U.S. Open but the weather didn’t dry the greens as much.

    Yeah, agreed.  Chipping contests are boring in pro golf, they all get up and down.
