US Open Picks

Gettysburg

I played in a District Golf Tourney in High School against Jim Furyk. He dusted the field in 1987 by at least 15 shots.

Oh, yeah...early on, Mr. Toms is tied for the lead at -2!

Ok, I guess if I'm going to start a thread to pick a winner just going with a no name does not cut it. So I'll pick Mike Wier, I would have said Tom's but that would not be to fair sense he is 2 under. Garcia is 7 over after 11 holes. Here's a link to real time scoring.http://www.usopen.com/scoring/dyn/alllb.html

jbcjr where are you from?

I was born and raised in NC/VA but I lived in Mechanicsburg, PA for 11 years and finished High School there at Cumberland Valley.

That's pretty cool, getting to play with Jim. I have a feeling the closer we get to 72 those - are gonna turn to +.

This course will tame the field. As Joe would say...the winner is gonna have to fight his guts out!

Tom's went from -3 to +2 in his last six holes of his round.

I see they had 7 amatuer's qualify this year. For those that don't know anyone which meets some requirements (I think its a regestered handicap below a given number) can try and qualify for the US Open. Not sure if any AM has ever won the Open but its pretty cool that they have the chance.

Yep, SOB! Oh well, still alot of golf to be played. He will be near the top by the weekend. This course is going to start kicking their ass.

It already is. And the first day is the easiest layout of the course. Oakmont is going to be probually the toughest challenge these guys face this year, most defenitely on the weekend.

It looks like that was pretty close to on point. Jim is still in good shape at +6, other than Casey having a hell of a round one of the best ever at Oakmont, right there with Johnny Millers 73 performance. The weekend rounds are going to be totally BRUTAL!
