zhunter Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 It is a great course!!! I expect +5 to be the wining score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Last I saw Stricker was in the lead.... He is a guy that never goes really low, but he can grind out 68-72 just about anywhere he plays. He hasn't done much for the last couple years but has a great chance this time. Would be great to see him take this years trophy..... Monty will choke tomorrow and fall back even further on Sunday. Furyk has a great chance, as does anyone within 5 of the lead going into tomorrow...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 It is good that the public can see the best golfers in the world struggle like the rest of us amateurs do...I am sorry that we only get to witness it once a year...also like the fact that for 4 days in June...ANYONE....can win this tourney....Michael Campbell is a good example last yr...and Stricker would be another one this yr..I like to see the pros have to play the types of shots that were common 20 yrs ago...the bump & run, low hooking 6 iron into the green...it gets boring watching 305 off the tee, wedge into the green from the rough to about 12 feet putt for bird...if graduated rough can prohibit that...I am for it.., if narrow fairways prohibit that...I am for it... Yes, it was emotionally tough for TW this week....the tourney ending on Fathers Day and all...I feel for him...but over the course of his career...you cannot win them all, or even be in contention for them all...just have to take it in stride and do the best you can...I think he did that.. Looking forward to an interesting finish...some great shot making attempts, and the looks of frustration on their faces...going to be great..

BismarckC Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Zhunter@June 16, 2006, 06:01 PMIt is a great course!!! I expect +5 to be the wining score Ogilvy, whose resiliency carried him to the Match Play Championship in February, closed with a 2-over 72 (+5 Total) in the highest-scoring U.S. Open since 1974 at Winged Foot. He became the first Australian to win the U.S. Open. ZHunter must know something about golf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 It is a great course!!! I expect +5 to be the wining score man, did zhunter nail that one or what!!!! nice call, i think i'll lay a bet down next time you make a call like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks guy!!!! Maybe a little lucky, but it is not my first "rodeo" either. It was the fairest US Open test I have ever seen. Now on to DC and this weeks Booz Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Broke my heart to see Mikelson lose it like that. The morning headlines were something like: "Mikelson Collapses On Last Hole" The last time the press had a field day like that was when Nick Faldo hosed the British Open and their papers headlined: "Faldo Foldo" It seems you must have your conscience surgically removed to be a press writer.
