Golf 2026

Could be an exciting finish today. About 20 players within a few shots including Tommy fitz hovland

Why is the golf season so condensed? The last signature event is weekend after next. Why dont they spread them out through july and August as well?

Weather has a lot to do with it.

Damn, totally forgot about the US Open until a few minutes ago. Starts tomorrow on one of my favorite tracks...

From the podcasts I listen to could well be one of the hardest tracks played in a while especially with some wind forecasted for Thursday

I love the US open, it's nice to see a challenge for the players and it makes for exciting viewing

Hopefully they don't take toughening the course up too much that a replay of 2018. Apparently they are making plans to not let that happen...

So good to see par matter.

Late group seems to have it a bit easier.

Wind apparently died down. Should be calm tomorrow, then gusty for the weekend.

 

[arnie_ni]

Hate seeing clark up top

 

[calodo2003]

They've set Shinnecock up too easy. The pendulum has swung too far the other way from 2018.

 

[Pseudonymous]

DJ suddenly becomes relevant again! Loser.

 

[calodo2003]

It's always the ones you most suspect...

 

[Pseudonymous]

What a fall from grace. Being a fellow southpaw, I was a huge fan growing up. Turned quick to being a a*hole!

 

[arnie_ni]

DJ with a massive blowup

I dunno about that only one player has shot a decent round, the rest are about where you'd have thought they would be

Shouldn't be seeing 64s or 65s at a US Open, even on a 70.

 

[arnie_ni]

What the heck happened Rahm

I mean there have been what 2 or 3 rounds like this and the rest have been to par or just under, says to me the course is playing hard just a couple found something extra

 

[Rams]

Rory’s looking very solid, he just seems to be on a different level to the rest of the field if you ask me.

Starting to fall away now - it looks like the later starters are getting the worst of the conditions today.

3 poor wedge shots in a row. All long

Supposedly they're going to crank it up each day of the weekend, didn't want to go too far too soon with the winds that had been forecast. I reckon we won't see a -7 winner by Sunday.

 

[The Cat]

Rory still in it.

 

[arnie_ni]

Rory still in it.

So frustrating. 60 yds wedge in hand ends up with a bogey

 

[arnie_ni]

Scottie is going to win this

 

[The Cat]

Still needs some help. A lot of players in reach if the leader drops back now.

 

[arnie_ni]

Rory still in it.

Did he end with a 5 over back 9?

Yeah sounds right the wheels came off at 10 I think.

Same as yesterday.

 

[The Cat]

Clark is holding on really well so far.

 

[The Cat]

That was an incredible shot.

 

[Gavinb33]

Wyndham Clark won this on day one pretty much, the only player to put together a really good round and 2 good rounds, the rest are playing this like a traditional US open course, he doesn't look in any trouble whatsoever if he pars out or even plus 1 will win the thing

It’s wild that one hour on Thursday will probably decide the whole tournament. He got lucky but obviously also was the only one to take full advantage.

 

[arnie_ni]

Let's post a score tommy

 

[calodo2003]

Amazing that someone who carded an 11 on Thursday is playing today.

Yep.

 

[Goldfiessli]

that redan par 3 (no. 7) has to be one of the most diabolical holes in all of golf - this is not over yet!
