Living in Canada that was a tough one to watch I was shouting for Tommy, but the pub I was watching it was brilliant when the first Canadian since the 50s it on home soil

Bit gutted for Tommy
He had a big chance in regulation to get the 4 to win it.
His game is plenty good enough to win in America, or to win a major. It's just about getting over the line now. Hopefully it will come and sooner rather than later.

I thought US open was supposed to be the hardest tournament...
Quite a few Californians at the top of the leaderboard atm

Have seen tougher set ups at my midweek stablefords ..
Decent leaderboard right now. Rickie, Schauffele, Rory, DJ

Fields are so loaded these days that it's almost impossible to get a poor leaderboard in a major. Reminds me of the early to mid-'90s. Love it when it's like this, because we don't get final rounds like the 2010 U.S. Open where everyone in contention plays like garbage. The winner always shoots a round.
I think the problem isn't the course setup so much as it is the course. It's a wide-fairway course like Bellerive was at the 2018 PGA, which also had a couple of 63s Friday morning in soft conditions after a downpour Thursday night. You can cut the fairways a little tighter, but you can't just halve them.
Yup. It doesn’t seem to be that memorable of a course but I am enjoying that 300 yard par 3
Love to see Rickie Fowler get a major
I’m a high handicapper and just went round 18 holes this morning in 91, course par is 72, absolutely buzzing!
Me too. Been to a couple tournaments and that guy is really generous with his time. Signing loads of autographs for the kids in the crowd

Have backed him in Majors a few times but only have place money returned. Last time was Hoylake in 2014 when he made third behind winner McIlroy. Where coincidentally the Open is being played in a month's time.
The US Open has a similar look to that event in 2014. If he doesn't win the US, and his roller coaster ride yesterday may suggest not, then Hoylake might be worth a flutter. Odds of 33\1 at the moment for the British.
I have a bet on Denny McCarthy at big odds for the US Open, chance of each way return, and also Harris English for the win. His form has been good and been top 3 twice in the US Open in the last three years. Could be his time. Still available at around 25s.
