Starts tomorrow.
The shape and speed of the greens looks like making it quite the challenge for all of the field.

Some of those groupings are a bit extreme, but I suppose good for advertisers.

Already obvious that approach shots to the greens are going to demand pinpoint accuracy.
Balls can go wandering off a long distance from the hole. The run offs are brutal.

Excellent start for Rory McIlroy with an opening round of 65 to share the lead with Patrick Cantlay. Ludvig Aaberg is one shot further back and Bryson De Chambeau two strokes shy of the lead. Form player of the moment Scottie Scheffler started with a round of 71.

I don't mind the difficulty factor, to an extent, but they are pushing the limits on some greens, test the best players in the world, but I question should you make them look stupid. This is how your average golfer plays.

Yeah players are having to pick safe spots on greens to play to.
It's a real test of discipline and patience for them.

Doddle · 15-06-2024 12:21

Rory still in the hunt, a couple of other Europeans in the top 4.

Tiger was among 6 former US Open Champions to miss the cut, the others being Justin Rose, Webb Simpson, Dustin Johnson, Gary Woodland & Lucas Glover.

More surprising big names to not make it to the weekend include Victor Hovland, Max Homa, Will Zalatoris, Jason Day, Ricky Fowler, Justin Thomas, & Phil Mickelson.

Doddle · 15-06-2024 20:19

Scheffler well out of the running for once.

Snooks · 16-06-2024 14:04

Bryson DeChambeau at -7 has a three stroke lead over Rory McIlroy, Matthieu Pavon and Patrick Cantlay heading into the final round.
