All the talk has been how tough the course is set up for the tournament, esp holes 1-6. The consensus is anyone who can play 1-6 at par for 4 days will likely be in contention/winning the US Open.

Talk about tough, the Tiger-Phil-Bubba group just played 2 holes, 9 and 10.

Tiger is even.

Bubba is +1.

Phil is +2.

That's just after two holes. I am popping open a beer, a packet of nuts, and settling down for an interesting night.

Yeah, this marquee group teed off at 9th hole. The score remain the same after 4 holes.

Because 10 is too far away from the clubhouse. Now why it was designed so, dunno.

Kevin Na takes the lead -3

Hole 14, Tiger missed the green, hitting out the thick rough fringe.

The amount of camera shutters that exploded as Tiger chipped is astoundingly deafening!

Now I know why mobile phones were banned.

Tiger misses putt, bogey.

15th

Both Tiger and Phil miss their birdie putts, should make par.

16th

Kevin Na begins to back away from his shot, tension mounting and OCD creeping into his pre shot routine. On the 2nd try, his approach misses the green and trickles left down the shaved green.

It's going to be brutal.

Tiger, Phil both hit the fairway. Bubba bombs it way past them. Amazing...

After missing the green, Na misses the par putt. Drops back to -2.

Maybe bro, but as Tiger did his body english after his shot, the club he was waving had a clubhead that looked big, like driver. So, not sure...

17th

Na, co-leader at -2, makes a tee shot without issue, hits fairway.

16th

Tiger lays up.

Bubba driver off the fairway! Misses right of the green. Announcer, "Bubba doesn't carry a 3 wood, because he said only short hitters carry a 3 wood." Laughing

16th

Phil under some trees, unsurprisingly. Hooks his escape shot but misses the green down to the no man's land of a collection area. Looks like a sure bogey.

Tiger's wedge approach hits the center of the green, but long putt left.

Poor 14 year old Andy Zhang already +7 ...

Phil's chip from no man's land collection area hit the bank but runs across the green w too much speed to the fringe.

Phil 1 chip 1 putt, bogey.

Tiger lags his putt, should make par.

17th

Na back to 3 under, back at the lead, after hitting the green in 2 and 2-putt at this par 5.

Bjorn chips after missing the green, the slope catches the ball and rolled it right back to his feet.

Wow, if you miss the greens on the wrong side, you're in real trouble.

Super Active Golfer Posts : 1997 Join date : 2011-03-27

Tiger, Phil, Na and Bubba getting practically all the coverage now. You'd think it was a 4-man tournament.

Super Active Golfer Posts : 1997 Join date : 2011-03-27

17th Par 5 522 yards

Tiger's stinger finds the fairway but trickles to the first cut on the right, ball sitting up perfect.

Phil takes driver, tries a fade, but hit a double cross instead, ball heads into the crowd. Maybe Phil spotted someone with a mobile phone there and was trying to take him out.
