Scottie fade is now a rope hook
He just needs to stay in touch

 

[RaceBannon]

I predict pulled wedges, missed putts and a top 5 finish. Not a win

Maybe I can get Rory over the top

Great course fit for Scottie also. Most courses are great fits for him. That being said, weird shit happens at US Opens, especially ones that are going to play super hard and a bit random, which this one seems like it will. I'm rooting for maximum carnage, been awhile since the US Open has delivered that. Seeing a lot of videos today of hand watering of greens, which is concerning.

Why would hand-watering of greens be concerning? Course officials trying to make it slower and increase scoring?

We need brown and dry for true maximum carnage.

Scottie needs one of two guys on the course at 4 under to fall to 5 or he's cut
Still a decent leader board and should be plenty of carnage over the weekend
The rehab of Bryson continues

 

[RaceBannon]

Scottie and Brooks are in at 5 over

 

[RaceBannon]

Rory and Cantlay don't like each other for real
Bryson and Aberg got put on the clock Saturday playing in the group behind Cantlay. Imagine that
It's Sunday at the US Open

Fuck Cantalay. Rory could legit win if he plays the right mix of aggressive and conservative. Playing too conservative cost him at LACC and St Andrews. That’s the untold story of the last ten years, he doesn’t have the middle gear.

 

[Bob_C]

Rory bogeying a par 5 on Sunday in contention is part of the script.

 

[BleachedAnusDawg]

Rory gonna Rory.

 

[RaceBannon]

The last ten years in one tournament. Three birdies to take a two shot lead. Three bogies to give it away. Bryson couldn't hit a fairway. It was all there
Great win for Bryson and golf

Rory is a very underrated Cunt

Rory is a very underrated Cunt

I can't stand the guy. He's been the biggest cunt in golf the past few years.

 

[RaceBannon]

To be fair I'm a horrible loser myself and a bit of a cunt

It's been said before, but Rory needs a real caddy. If he had Steve Williams the last ten years it would have looked very different.

Fuck off Colin redux

https://twitter.com/x/status/1813193064757772447

1997 before the third round of the Masters Colin said his experience gave him an edge over Tiger

 

[RaceBannon]

The course is tough enough that Rory and Bryson aren't out of it. But they probably are

 

[Bob_C]

Adam Scott is my pick.

 

[RaceBannon]

I don't trust his putter on Sunday

I don't trust his putter on Sunday

Fun fact, he carried two putters in his bag for the final round of the PGA at Bellerive where Brooksy beat him by a shot or two.
