I thought the US open was supposed to be a tourney where even par was a good score. Maybe its such a tiny course to keep Tiger in contention.

Hmm... If so then it would also help all the others also. I know the LSM is pushing him big time. But I don't see the US open doing something for one person being he white, black, red or even pink.
Maybe, but the PGA was on a long course and Tiger didnt make the cut because he cant hit driver straight. They desperately want him around on the weekend for ratings. Not even considering tiger why is the course so easy?

LOL ask the PGA. It's been 80 years the last time I play Golf. :lol:
The USGA is in control this week. Its sad when the announcers have to try their best to make the course sound hard.
You know the course is a joke when Phil can reach a joke par 5 with 2 iron shots.

Tiger's heading into day 4 even. The course isn't a walk in the park.

I've never played an "Easy" course, they don't exist because no one wants to play a sport that doesn't challenge you.
Every course I ever played had it's nasty shots, be it over water, or a "U" freakin turn on the 9th hole, they all had obstacles everyone had to over come.
I love the game, but I hate courses that have a driving range lined by expensive houses that seem to have a magnetic effect on golf balls, especially car windows.
Anyone who plays golf understands Pebble Beach is a difficult track. The setup for the US Open appears to be fair and a stern test. The fairways are narrow and the rough is tough. It is OK for the leaders to around 10 under because, THESE GUYS ARE GOOD!

Cant agree. Difficult would be like the PGA last month where only a handfull of players were under par. US opens used to be hard. This is a "chicken stick" course where on almost every par4 you can hit an iron off the tee. I know Nickalaus was saying a while back they need to alter the balls to keep scores from getting too low. I disagree. From keeping players from playing it safe on tiny par 4's simply narrow the fairways where layups off the tee would land.
Reward boldness and penalize timidity.
I lost track. Should I root for Tiger or not?

Love it!
I dont see how anyone can call this a tough test of golf with a tiny course being demolished. A us open with 3 players in triple digits under par is a joke.

Surpised he played so bad on such an easy pitch and putt.
Koepka and Rose are gagging to a nobody.

The ocean winds... the terrain.... Nike stock would rise from the Pro V1 boxes I'd go through...

He's clearly never played with someone at that level.

Oh God, I have, it's as if the ball knows where it's supposed to go. The beauty of the game is not the competition amongst the players, but with yourself, golfers never rub it in your face when they make a hole and you don't.
We all have bad days on the course, some more than others, but it's not about winning, it's about the game, you and the comradery.
