Who wins the US Open at Pebble Beach ? Rory blew away a watered down field today, Koepka has won 4 out of the last 8 majors and the last one, PGA Championship at Bethpage Black. Tiger, of course, just won the Masters. Can't wait until Thursday. Who u all picking ? My pick is Tiger, probably because I just watched a show about his 15 shot win in the 2000 (?) US Open at Pebble Beach, today. Plus, I love a great comeback story

I think you have to go with Koepka until he cools off. He's on a historic major championship run right now that should be talked about more

I think Spieth, Webb Simpson, Adam Scott, Patrick Cantlay, and Kuchar will contend, but I agree with you about Koepka. I like players going in that have been on that are on a roll.

Depends a lot on the setup too. If they play an actual golf course, all those guys along with Tiger, Rory etc will be in the hunt. If the USGA does what they've been known to do in order to engineer a winning score around Par, God only knows who survives.

I have always said that the USGA should just water board the players, deprive them of sleep and food, shove pieces of bamboo under their fingernails, subject them to public humiliation, etc. and then let them go play 9 holes for the championship.

I knew Bruce Lietzke, having sold him an old musclecar, and he told me that he quit playing in the U.S. Open because of the setups. I believe that was about 1985, when he was about 35.

Phil nailed it a few days ago when he said basically the USGA always screws up the setup and it's just a matter of whether there's enough rain to keep it playable.

My pick is Hideki Matsuyama. Plays well in majors and it seems like his time.

I kind of like Xander Shaffele (I know I spelled it wrong), too. He always looks like he is having fun out there.

My man, Xander tied for the lead at 5 under, Brooks and Rory at 3 under and Tiger 1 under. Nice start for the big names. Today may be the day for low scores, USGA watered the greens all weekend, they are still soft, by Sunday they won't be and hole placement will be brutal. Better get low today and tomorrow, guys.

U notice she had a beer in the other hand while she attempted to pick the ball up with her non-beer hand. Good thing that ranger or whatever they call them, barked at her.
