I try not to get on guys for much. But I’m perplexed by Rory the last month or so. You would think his attitude for a year would be sky high. You win the Masters you join the grand slam club, I’m just surprised by a few of his actions after the big Masters win. It doesn’t make sense.
2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship

JJ would have been a footnote type of champion like Michael Campbell and others but that putt immortalized him in US Open history.
I didn't watch any of the US Open. I have no idea who JJ Spaun is, but that was one awesome putt.
Seems like a good fit for the Ryder Cup and the way Europe sets up the course.
Finished 34th at ISCO last summer. I was a walking scorer for one of his rounds.I cannot believe he pulled it off
Yes he did. But he had some of the absolute worst bad beats on 2/3 of them. The shot that hit the flag stick and rolled 70 yards off the front of the green. would more than likely been a birdie. It would have skipped past the hole, checked up, and spun back down to the flag. Truly a game of inches.
As I stated previously, when Scheffler is off, it is because his drives going left, and missing short putts. He is better from 10-12 feet than he is 5 feet. Saturday he missed several inside 5 feet. Usually he has a knack for saving par when struggling, but not this weekend. Saturday he left 2/3 birdies on the course. Can't do that, but especially at a place like Oakmont.
Well, he said that exact same thing HIMSELF. That his missed some putts he should have made. If you watched and didn't notice he missed several putts he normally makes, I don't know what to tell you. Never said he was FAR off, just did some things not normal for his high standards.
JJ Spaun jokes that he owes Viktor Hovland a 'nice bottle of wine' for help on US Open-winning putt
J.J. Spaun got a preview of his walk-off putt at the U.S. Open from Viktor Hovland and joked on Wednesday that he's going to give him a bottle of wine.
I actually thought at first JJ got a little pissed at Victor for taking so long on his approach shot and even his putt. Rain started pouring down and JJ had a look on his face standing in the fairway, maybe I just thought wrong but it sure looked like he was getting impatient.
I’m an 18 H.
But my putting is pretty good, especially lag putting and 3-footers. I’m probably more average on mid-range (6-20’) putts. My chipping and bunker play is solid too. I just suck off the tee.
Maybe I would 3-putt half the holes, for 45 total putts. But I’d probably tee off with 7iron, to limit my shots from the rough and avoid penalty strokes; accepting it would take me an extra shot on every par 4 & 5. So think I could score 120-140.
