[Glenn's take]

Mickelson is still planning on not playing isn't he? I thought they said he was going to wait until the last possible second to withdraw in case something happened with the weather.

 

[cawoodsct]

Not playing unless the weather forces a long delay and he can get back for tee time.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

UKO knows the "easy" winner.

 

[USSLair]

My buddy dropped $300 on Phil to win while in Vegas.

Me

 

[USSLair]

As to the question I'll ride with Spieth.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Be hard to pick against Dustin Johnson or Rory on a course this long. But neither in great form right now. Have to give Kisner a good chance with the way he's played this year. My dark horse as it usually is would be Oosthuizen. No reason why he hasn't won more with his game.

Tiger still planning on not playing?

 

[Glenn's take]

Tiger still planning on not playing?

It's not being played in Florida so I'm not even sure he is legally allowed to go.

 

[cawoodsct]

Stay on topic fellas.

 

[drainthatub]

Stay on topic fellas.

Henrik Stenson

 

[KYBorn&Raised]

Fowler finally gets one. Darkhorse, stricker.

 

[KYBorn&Raised]

Fowler finally gets one. Darkhorse, stricker.

I forgot Stricker was from Wisonsin and didn't realize he had to qualify. That would be a hell of a story.

 

[cawoodsct]

Day, dark horse Johnny Vegas

 

[UK82]

I'll keep predicting Jon Rahm until he wins one.

 

[Glenn's take]

Stay on topic fellas.

OK, Justin Thomas because I do think he will eventually will win one with his length.

 

[dgtatu01]

If it comes down to length and putting give me Fowler. He is in top form. Stinson and Justin Rose should contend as well.

 

[Roe07]

Sergio goes 2 for 2 in 2017 and tops his Masters win with a U.S. Open championship.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

OK, Justin Thomas because I do think he will eventually will win one with his length.

Dammit. I agreed with Glenn's take. Sorry Justin maybe next year.

Live from the US Open at 1pm today

Phil says he needs a 4 hour weather delay to make it to play.

 

[Glenn's take]

Phil says he needs a 4 hour weather delay to make it to play.

Her HS graduation is on a Thursday morning?

Apparently it is.
Who holds a HS graduation at 10 on a Thursday morning

 

[Rajon239]

Andy Murray or Novak Djokovic, IMO.

 

[cawoodsct]

Rory's thoughts on Erin Hills.

 

[wkycatfan]

Kevin Na did an instragram video complaining about the long fescue too near the first cut of rough. It was brutal.

I don't have a good feel for who wins this on a new course. Long, with brutal rough. Accuracy of course, but may take some length, and strength to handle the distance and chopping it out of the long rough.

Things seem to be coming together for Jason Day. I'll go with him, but Rahm is formidable.

 

[dgtatu01]

Looks like there will be a lot of opportunity for balls to get roll on this course. So maybe a shorter hitter who hits a low ball flight won't be as short as we might think. Conversely guys that hit high long balls may not be as advantaged. The US open always favors being in the fairway and hitting accurate shots at the right spot of the green. Unfortunately the right part of the green is often 20-30 feet away from the pin and you must not screw that putt up.

 

[goukcatsgo]

The talk of "length" being an advantage of this course is off the mark. If a guy can hit it long and straight, maybe. But straight will be the key this week. par is going to be a very good score. The rough is brutal and the greens are too. This place was built with a us open in mind.

 

[Glenn's take]

Kevin Na did an instragram video complaining about the long fescue too near the first cut of rough. It was brutal.

Tim Rosaforte to Kevin Na about his Instagram post. "You are worried about pace of play?" Priceless. He said he said it to him on Live From and it made Na laugh.

 

[Catman100]

That fescue in Kevin Na's video looks brutal. Not really sure they need it to be like that. Going to be some slow rounds this week.

 

[cawoodsct]

 

[ukalumni00]

No clue who is going to win. Course looks brutal to this golf hack. Will go with Noren.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Think Kuchar may have a run. He's been playing relatively consistently lately.

Give me Kisner or Grillo

/Festivus

Rory's thoughts on Erin Hills.

They always say that when they are shooting good.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Why is the USGA trying to turn our open into a British open? First chambers bay, which was a goat track and this thing. Hopefully they won't find no a way to screw this ibe up with stupid rulings or viewers calling in

 

[KyFaninNC]

Her HS graduation is on a Thursday morning?

Apparently it is.

Who holds any graduation on a Thursday? Only in Kaliforny.

 

[Tskware]

Agree on Chambers, the 1/4 mile walk from one tee to another via a makeshift elevated steel bridge was ridiculous, I read where it took fans FOREVER to get from Point A to Point B on that course. Just didn't like it at all, seemed very contrived to me.

OTOH, I played Erin last summer and think it will be a hell of a venue. Very tough though, ridiculous bunker/green complexes and DO NOT hit into the heather, you may never come out again. But the ball rolls, and I think even a medium length hitter will have a chance, so long as he is accurate and putts really well. I bet a deserving top notch player wins (which to be fair, is what happened at Chambers)

 

[GrandePdre]

I'm picking Dufner with Westwood as a dark horse.

[dgtatu01]

DraftKings I got:
Spieth
Rose
Kisner
Dufner
Haas
C. Wood
