There will be some lower scores today.
Rickie shot a 65. Phil a 69.
Chances are the winner will be +1 or lower.
Other than Saturday afternoon, the course was a very good test and not overly different than most US Open courses. Shinnecock is just a really difficult golf course and when it dries out with shaved greens and the wind comes up, its almost unplayable. It is unplayable if you cant find the fairway.
Almost to a mn the golfers themselves said the USGA went to the line with the set-up but that the line was crossed for 4 or 5 hours yesterday, again because the wind was not expected that showed up.
Gonna be a really good day today Im thinking...lots of drama hopefully.
Still like DJ to come out of it, but there are a couple guys who could come from off the pace to win...Stenson, Reed, and as a longshot, Branden Grace.
Im pulling for Tony Finau myself.
