Golf 2015 US Open @ Chambers Bay

[undefined]

Looking forward to being as unproductive as ever this weekend as the world's best battle it out on a nearly unplayable track. Here's a preview of the Chambers Bay 'green' characteristics:

Spieth/Rory are understandably the favourites.

Other serious contenders include Fowler, Justin Rose, Bubba, Jason Day/Scotty, and Mickelson.

Tiger can't be written off despite his lack in form. Sergio Garcia will of course be gunning for his first Major championship after so many previous disappointments.

An uncharacteristically good write up from Fox Sports

I wish I was there. Chambers Bay looks absolutely mint. Will probably end up buying Lee Wybranski's impression for this year as well.

Won't get to watch it live due to exams

Fowler is quite a good links player and has said he enjoys links styled courses. Never rule him out.

It's being televised on Fox Sports 3, which I should've mentioned in the OP.

Alot of us have exams, haha. I'm sure you'll find time to watch at least rounds 2 & 3!

If your not long off the tee you are cactus, its insanely long

18th par 4 of 520+ yards (every 2nd day of course)

Insane course, looks amazing

Love US open

Dustin Johnson for me!

Kicks off in the early hours tomorrow, through to midday. I look forward to waking up early and watching for hours on end.

Here's the card:

Worth noting of course that holes 1/18 will alternate as both par 4's and 5's:

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Scott finished his round even for par. Day 2 under thru 9 atm and woods plus 4 thru 8

Tiger on the improve. Scrambled from a plugged bunker lie on the last hole, demolished the tee shot on 10 only for it to trickle into the fescue.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Day with a birdie on 12 to move three under.

Looking solid.

Day always gets himself up for the majors.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Yeah tiger not looking good there.

 

[undefined]

Spieth making a charge, 3 consecutive birdies on the back 9

 

[iluvparis]

Did anyone see D Johnson's shot out of the bunker on the 9th yesterday?

Arguably the most imaginative bunker short I have ever seen.

 

[Elixuh]

Hope Jason Day is ok after collapsing on the 18th.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

s**t. Hope he's alright

Love watching Phil miss putts. Can't stand him.

On a positive note, this looks more like Scotland!

Some of the elevation and views you get over the course on certain holes are epic.

It was noted on the broadcast that whoever insures the event won't allow spectators behind one of the greens. Can't remember which hole.

 

[HBF]

Jason Day showing a huge amount of heart in the 3rd round.
4 shots behind Johnson with two holes to go.

With much better weather....

 

[Elixuh]

Day 1 behind now.

 

[Pera]

Day with a share of the lead.

What a man!

 

[Warsaw]

Vertigo just a smokescreen...

Get around him.

I wonder if the vertigo is taking the pressure off a little bit. He can be very hard on himself.

Also will make him keep his head still!

Incredible round by Day, ahrd to see him backing it up but he's got himself a shot.

More needs to be said of Cameron smith, the guy is 21 and having a great first US Open, will be off 3rd to last group tomorrow.
