    Henrik Stenson has been * over here as well. The European tour owe him a Ryder cup captaincy.

    Been an incredible start Fowler and Schaufelle both have been outstanding.

    This isn’t a proper US Open course. Obviously picked for it’s location but it’s nowhere near as tough as typical US open courses.

    Aye I prefer it when it’s really difficult. Having said that, there is a lot of bogeys being made, but it’s also giving out a lot of birdies as well. I think Fowler will slip at some point.

    He’s done well so far but would be surprised if he wins it. Don’t like the guy but Dustin Johnson would be my bet for the win.

    I took Cam Smith from the start. Not out of it but needs a low one today. Hate to say it, but McIlroy is looking good I think. It will be interesting to see how he goes though as it falls apart all too often for him, and it’s a very long time since he won a major. Sky will still tell you he is the best player on the tour mind you :87:

    The crowd at the US Open is stinking. Just a sea of phones at the end and not one actual reaction.

    LA is a * hole. Just a cesspit of self centred attention seekers.

    A young American with an emotional back story winning his first major and they only cared about getting their tiktok. * freaks man.

    Hate that phones take over so much of the atmosphere at anything nowadays. Just enjoy the moment and be glad you were part of history.

    Last special moment I can remember watching golf was tiger winning the masters again a few years back. All of Tiger’s controversies aside it was still amazing to watch because Tiger was one of my earliest sports heroes alongside our Henrik

    Bob MacIntyre just went to -12 (second) in the Scottish open, hoping for a win for him, wind has made it interesting

    Bob doing brilliant here, just keeping it simple with proper links conditions. Be class if he can hold this lead.

    World class shot to put that to 4ft, Tiger-esque. Deserves the win for that round, terrific golf.

    Glad mcilroy pipped that big *, absolute roaster when I've backed him.

    Think Fleetwood can possibly do it, been decent recently.
