US Open at Winged Foot....

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Don’t expect many low scores....if you miss the fairways you will be in a world of hurt.....might be only a handful of players to break par....anyone have any opinions?

 

[mr merlin]

The harder the better, looking forward to it.

 

[trytrytry]

in cases like this load up on all underdog head to head round by round. too much randomness to have much of a favorite imo. In conditions like that with over par the norm most of these head ot heads are pretty much coin flips

 

[WildBill]

I read an article that asked a lot of experts who went out and played it and they said to expect winning score to be plus par. Useful info because you know all these US books are going to post special boosts for the rounds, usually calling for an under par round.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

My three point picks to win US Open

Tiger Woods..45-1
Chez Reavie...200-1
Louis Oosthenizen...210-1

All three long shots...

The under/over is 279.5

Under if I had to.....don’t think anyone can break par here.....

Took DJ 9:1, Morikawa 18:1, Rory 16:1, Woodland 115:1, and Scott/Willett against Tiger

Adding Webb Simpson....

Justin Thomas

The course is so hard tee to green, nobody is going to hit a ton of greens. Look for the best chipper/pitcher to win (like Ogilvy in 2006) which right now is JT in my opinion.

 

[WildBill]

Does anyone really want to back Bryson on this kind of track? Is his relatively low number just people backing a guy they like in general? Seems like a really bad setup for him.

Adding Webb Simpson....

Toss Tiggy.....more wasted money.........

Adding Webb Simpson....

I'm big on Simpson this week. Should like the set up and is pretty straight off the tee.

Xander ....

 

[Don Eagleston]

playing like a "putt putt" course so far.

 

[kane]

Even though I don't bet a lot of golf, I've never had the winner of any tournament I've ever bet, that means Rahm, Berger, Fleetwood, Hatton, Reed, and Schauffle have no chance

 

[E$]

Thank you for not throwing JT in there then

 

[Jammer]

Now you only have 3 minutes to find your ball instead of 5. A lot tougher as well with limited gallery and less eyes to look. Speith already had to take a 2 shot penalty.

 

[cheapseats]

No trampled rough either.

 

[cheapseats]

Captain America looking staunch thru 36.

 

[mr merlin]

I like Bryson, he's hitting it so far the rough doesn't mean a bogey for him like everyone else.

Winged foot fighting back....

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

15 players have teed off today so far and none of them are under par....going to be a rough day for everyone....

Going to be a bloodbath....up to 25 players over par today....

 

[cheapseats]

Would be a huge W for Matt.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Pressure on the Wolfman....let’s see how the kid holds up.....he is still the defending NCAA Champ....

 

[Screw Andrews]

My three point picks to win US Open

Nice ticket you have there with Louie....

 

[cheapseats]

Usga better not damper with equipment just cuz BC bulked to win. Not everybody can BC.

 

[cheapseats]

Roy has become a complete cry baby, bitch.

I got one right.

Would have been really impressive if you called it before the tournament started

Friday was pretty good, I'm not running a tout service.

 

[E$]

He was leading at the time, I understand that doesn’t necessarily guarantee that he is gonna win, but it’s not exactly going out on a limb either. Congrats though, hopefully you put a lot on it and made some $.
