The second golf major of 2017 is officially underway @ Erin Hills, Wisconsin.
The 117th U.S. Open

Erin Hills becomes the 51st course to host the U.S. Open but just the sixth public access course to receive the honor.

Will Dustin Johnson repeat as defending US Open Champion or will Jordan Spieth find his groove or a golfer like Rickie Fowler breaks through with the first major of his career ?

-Rickie Fowler holds the first place spot after opening round Thursday.
-Phil Michelson has dropped out so he can attend his daughter's graduation. first time in a long while either he or Tiger Woods are not in an Open.
-The Blimp also dropped out, literally :eek:
(The Penfed Credit Union Blimp dropped out of the sky near the course and crashed, seriously injuring the pilot, but he is expected to be okay).

This will be an interesting Open, due to the fact that this is a public course and the best ball strikers of the world may never have played this course, at least not in an Open with the competition level so high.
This course looks like a course from Scotland.
There are no tress but lots of tall grass, just like a links course.
The wind can get rough too.
This will be the longest course played in Open tournament history, with 5 or 6 par 5's.... at over 600 yards each.

Watch hole #9
That hole may be a factor in this Open tourney :)

Crazed.....you into golf? Wow, now's my chance to win some$$$!
 
I'm rooting for the amateur Cameron Champ .He is at 5 under after the second round with the leaders only at -7 ..............An Amateur has not won a PGA Major since 1933
 
missed today too... damn :(

how's your guy doing floder?

any updates ?
I heard Fleetwood... 4 time cut in last 4 Major appearances.

tomorrow is Sunday
 
Cameron Champ (a)
-4 12:53 pm 70 69 73

So he is 8 strokes behind the leader going into Sunday

He is as of now tied for 17th ...Not bad for an amateur at a Major

The word is that Cameron creates alot of speed when striking a golf ball off the tee
The word is that he is or will be the longest ball striker in the game.
 
Koepka may have taken it at 12 or 13 under in this last round, but he went on thru to the 18th and went 16 under to tie an Open record.
Hole 18 is next and is scored as the easiest hole on the course.
Do I see birdie .... ummm.... Yes I do :)

Fleetwood is in there at 12 under :)

no birdie but a par will do

Brooks Koepka is our champion !!
