Congratulations to Rory.    As for Scottie, he has the game for it.   Can he stay motivated?

What happened to Speith and Thomas Tower?  I haven't been following much.  Ty.

Is Scheffler a potential 10+ Majors guy?  I don't watch men's golf anymore but was just curious if people think he's the real deal?  Because we thought the Rory and Speith would win about 10.

No

Spieth was always erratic and not long off the tee.  Inconsistent putter.   JT is less obvious.   Just stopped performing at the highest level.  Cutthroat out there.

Sustained excellence is hard.
Nicklaus 18
Woods 15
Jones 13
Hagen 11

No one else has broken 10
Hogan 9
Player 9
Watson 8

Time will tell if Scheffler can sustain

Saudi's are paying him to win majors and legitimize their sports washing.  Like when Rahm hired some muscle to rough up DJ before the Masters a few years ago for hitting on his fiance, the Saudi's aren't to be trifled with

Speaking of DJ ... remember when he was the first big "star" to take the blood money? I wondered, who was gonna turn on this POS tour to watch him ... and the answer was nobody. Even with a whole lot of players much more currently relevant than DJ, who is watching the blood money tour? Besides 9-9-9 and his fellow zombies, of course.

Yes, it may actually be a challenge.

Playing only 54 holes makes you soft.

BREAKING NEWS: 2x Major Champion Jon Rahm has decided to withdraw from the US Open at Pinehurst, due to an infected sore located between the little toe and the next toe on his left foot, sources close to Rahm tell me.
I'm told the infection is healing with antibiotic treatment, but Rahm remains in pain and does not want to compete in a tournament in which he does not believe he is physically capable of winning.

Is that the piggy who gets roast beef, or the one who gets none?

This should scare you: I was trying to come up with something along those lines, too.

You beat me to it, and yours is better than mine would have been.

I've actually had something like that before and it was incredibly painful.

Tiger with an excellent Press Conference.  He opens up and gives quality answers.

Luckily they will cower and slow down for Tiger while he prowls the course.

Congrats to Brooks Koepka on winning his 3rd US Open

[tower912]

Did his best buddy Xander getting a major light a fire under Cantlay?

[cheebs09]

Man, Thomas is in a rut.

It also looks like Phil will not get the elusive US Open this year.

Expecting some type of FIGJAM temper tantrum tomorrow

[Herman Cain]

Based on the morning groups that have completed, pretty much a more typical US Open. Some low scores, but clearly double bogey lurking on almost every hole.

Course isn't brown enough for me

Unless it's brown it's a dump.

Unless it's brown it's a dump.

Many times, that's true

I will not get excited about Rory's 65, I will not get excited about Rory's 65.

[MU82]

Loved the way he walked in that putt on 18. I'll get excited about Rory's 65!
