The score cards show lots of ups and downs.

If the winds starts kicking up, that setup could get mean.

Could get unplayable. Some if thise fairways are now unrecognizable.

Molinari was playing well all day but got a rude welcome to the US Open; seven over on his last seven holes including a double and triple. Yikes

Followed him for his quarterfinal win in the Amateur at Merion. Crooked ass ball hitter, but made more putts than I've ever seen in a single round.

Check this round out for H. Fujita: +1

GIR 44%
Fhit 43%
Putts 26!
Birdies 4
Pars 9
Bogies 5

All over the place but good score.

How much did he miss the birdie by?

Those greens are brutal. There was certainly no shame in two-putting. I have a bet on this, he is gonna tear it up dammit.

You have to respect the way Westwood has played the last two holes. He is just attacking the flag, and it has worked so far. That is no small task at the Open.

. . . and the greens just flat out suck. The guys that play in the afternoon are putting on a brillo pad.

UAB's own McDowell is up by 3. Go Blazers!

and they took it poorly when Woods complained. Screw 'em. I'm not a pro and had nothing on the line, but I hated the greens out there. Loved the slopes and small size, but they roll awful and were relatively slow. Honors is much, much faster down those slopes.

I'm gonna go ahead and wait before I bet on him.

Dustin Johnson impresses the heck out of me though.

 

[NYYVol]

Johnson is a freak.

[volinbham]

[SGMVols]

Lefty is on fire so far today.

 

[IBlvNTmWrk]

somebody needs to put michael campbell out of his misery.

 

[volinbham]

14 is brutal

 

[lylsmorr]

I would have nightmares about the 14th hole

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Absolutely, Ricky Barnes is its latest victim but at least he made it out of there with a 7 (better than a few others).

 

[JTrainDavis]

loving the show, some interesting golf today, though I am annoyed still by the more toned down Berman, when you make a career of being an assclown, you are still an assclown even when you are serious.

14 is great. Makes me feel better about my own game.

Good to see Ernie back in contention. I wouldn't mind seeing Phil win it, but if I had to pick a rooting interest, it would be Easy.

Why no coverage until 4:30 today and tomorrow?
