The U.S. Open

[Montalban]

Man, I hope a LIV guy wins this event. Its sickening listening to all these pundits pontificating about how horrible it is that these guys took money and ran. I say good for them. They are all professional golfers, they are in it for the money. Talking shit about taking pay from Saudi Arabia when the PGA has an agreement with China who is far, far worse in the issue of human rights violations is ridiculous.

I gained a lot of respect for Jon Rahm in his interview today for how he fielded the LIV golf questions. Its how they all should handle it. It was basically "Its up to them, not my business" And he told that ridiculous female who always asks non golf questions, when she asked how he felt about the players taking money from the Saudi government, "I'm not a politician, I'm a golfer and I'm not going to comment on that"
Well done, Jon Rahm.

Listen to press Conference The USGA CEO Mike Whan had today about the US Open.
This is what a guy who knows his job inside & out sounds like ... and a guy who loves his job.


He is the complete opposite of Jay Monahan who is your Typical business CEO
He could be CEO for the PGA Tour or a company selling tractors ....it's all the same to guys like Monahan.

U.S. Open 2022: USGA CEO Whan weighs in on LIV Golf debate, says he's 'struggling to see how this is good for the game'

Though LIV Golf players are in the U.S. Open, USGA CEO Mike Whan said he's "struggling to see" how the LIV Golf fissure is good for the game.

WTF? Either the writer or the USGA president was high or drunk for this article. I challenge anyone to read paragraphs 4 and 5 and tell me what the hell they are talking about.

 

[Montalban]

Why can't the LIV golfers do business with the Saudis since our government does it every day?. They even offer military protection so that government can continue to exist. We all do business with the Saudis when we buy gasoline. What's different for the LIV guys?

I totally agree, this is the second time i've heard Mike Whan speak and that man knows his business, speaks intelligently and passionate about what he's doing and what his plans are for the future. He got me so fired up about the building of an infrastucture where American financially challenged kids and adults will have a path to compete at the highest levels in golf if they have the talent , that I was ready to fire off an email to him asking him what i could do to help!

Lefty and the rest of the LIV golfers not doing well at all

Morikawa, Scheffler, Rahm & McIlroy, all either leading or within a shot. -4 leads so the course is US Open ready and I haven't heard about anyone complaining about conditions.

100% ..he even makes fun of himself because he gets so excited talking about it.

People forget that Phil is 54 ...how many players over 50 make the cut in the US open?

I had to laugh at the Boston MBTA's stuff on this. I saw two articles, right in a row, about how to get to the tournament via the free shuttle buses and the subway's Green Line, and how they picked this week to shut down the Green Line for maintenance.

It’s quite the tissue festival. Imagine that… golfers playing for a paycheck


It’s really about guys who don’t care to play on the weekly PGA tour and only want to play a handful of tournaments along with the majors.

Why this is triggering so many folks I just don’t know or care

 

[Wazmankg]

There he goes again.. Scheffler takes a 2 shot lead. Who IS this guy?

I like him as well as anyone on tour. He's honest, straighforward. Seems genuine. It should be a great finish. I don't think anyone will run away. They'll all be fighting for pars given what they're forecasting.

Poor PGA. Their poster boy, McIlroy, fell to 1 under. Scheffler and Morikawa collapsed today as well. Too bad, I like both of them.

Fitzpatrick with an awesome shot on #8. That is one unforgiven hole if you come up shot.

Like watching these two youngens battle.

 

[Montalban]

Disappointing to see both Sheffler and Zalatoris choke coming down the stretch. Not so much Zalatoris, because he always chokes at the end when he has a chance to win. But Sheffler, I thought he should have been able to hold up. Not many players I dislike more than Matt Fitzpatrick but he deserved to win.

Why do you dislike Fitzpatrick? He seems ok to me.. just an unassuming Brit. That approach out of the trap on 18 was pure class. He did deserve to win.

It was a great shot and he deserved to win. I just don't like him, he seems like a little mouse or rat. The brother can play though. Frickin Zalatoris is the Creedence Clearwater of golf; always number 2, never number 1
