“Not really a choke.
I wonder if Johnson thinks he choked. I agree that the course was unfair. I wonder who would have won if they had played on a normal course. “

Unfair? Course was fair. Problem was course was also 7700 yards. The U.S. Open is the most difficult of the four. This lived up to that reputation.

We are so used to seeing big numbers. I don’t care if someone wins with a plus whatever. He won against his peers of equal skill.

Five under is a fairly typical score for a US Open Champion. The USGA wanted a course in the northwest, which hadn't hosted an Open and they wanted a public course.

Yep, Dustin three putted 18; really his putter cost him way before that. Jordan doubled 17. Brendan Grace hit OB to double 16. They all had their chances. Jordan had a hole to make up his major mishap. Dustin was out of holes when his bit him.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I thought it was a great tournament. Anyone who thinks this place was a goat ranch should tune in next month for the British Open at St Andrews.

I like Jordan Speith, and I'm happy with the outcome.
