DJ looks good, but in reality, this course seems like a place that a guy like DeChambeau or Rahm would play good at. My heart still wants Rickie to win, but I don't think he has it this week:
1. Rahm
2. DJ
3. Rose
4. DeChambeau
5. Someone like Koepke, McIlroy, Justin Thomas
Rose is in the best form of anyone all year.
I hate Rahm cause he is a hothead and this course is gonna throw back to back bogeys at you.
DJ is always gonna have the game perfectly made for the US Open. Same with Brooks (lowest finish ever was 18th). My concern with him is the abbreviated season due to injury so far.
Tigers game at Memorial would’ve, IMO, won this week. If he is striking it that well again, with tougher greens to hit/hold, and more trouble (higher scores) he will win. His putting will be better on the faster greens, and the rest of the field won’t be at -14 under.
Branden Grace is rounding into form and usually plays really well at the US Open.
Sleepers...I like Grilli and List (both numbers across the board are pretty insane all season) and then Steele.
Oh and I’ll throw some stuff on Rickie this week in hopes his engagement allows his mind to be free and easy.
Justin Thomas....not a huge fan, but he's got the perfect game for this course.
Tiger would have won Memorial by 5 shots if he could putt that week.
Yeah, I would not be surprised if Rickie has a calm air about him this week and maybe finds a way to get it done.
DJ should be in the mix obviously; will be interesting to see how Tiger does. Adam Scott is going with a local caddie; that could help. I like Grace and Stenson also.
Pool is pick one from each of the 6 tiers (tiers based on world rankings); 4 of 6 must make cut ......went with:
First entry: Fowler, Stenson, Kuchar, Oosthuizen, Schwartzel, Scott
Second entry: Day, Fleetwood, Simpson, Grace, Smith, Woods
Gonna go Jason Day
Shinnecock Hills is taking its toll early --- Rory, Speith, Phil, Day and Bubba are a combined 20 over par, not even halfway thru.
Wow

Good pick!!!!!!
In even more hilarious news, some dumb fuck had a +22 round. I hope they took him out back and shot him after that.

I looked at his line for the day. He parred the first hole. And then bogey'd or multi-bogey'd the next nine or so. That's the sort of day, where at the turn, you just go to the clubhouse and start drinking heavily and refuse to come out until you're so wasted you just don't care what happens anymore.
+10, 80 for Rory

The PGA and USGA need to encourage this. Golf would get many more viewers and it would be hilarious to see "purists" like CC cry about it.
So far Shinnicock Hills is winning. Most of the big names are struggling.

Shinney will always win.

Kid is a good golfer; British amateur champion two years ago. The golf course is a bear; wind must be blowing.
Just watched Sergio on 14 from 180 hit one of the highest shots I’ve ever seen, landed 25 ft short of hole and still rolled 30 ft by and off the green.
I can’t.
Tiger will never ever win again as long as I’m watching.
