Watching this US open is like watching miniature golf. The greens are set up like those at a typical miniature golf course - they’re a joke.

Yep ..... everything but the windmill.
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — The golf course was on the edge for the third round of the 118th U.S. Open, and so were the players. Phil Mickelson lost his mind (though he refused to plead temporary insanity) and Dustin Johnson lost his lead, along with a good chunk of his invincible aura. At the end of a wild day at Shinnecock Hills, Johnson found himself in a four-way tie atop the leaderboard with Daniel Berger, Tony Finau and Brooks Koepka. Eighteen players were within six strokes and everyone was feeling edgy.
Pat Perez putted a ball off the 15th green – a handful of other players did as well thanks to a fiendish pin position - and when asked about the course conditions afterward he said, "I don't want to get fined so I'm not going to comment on it. But let's just say it's the USGA." He could summon no more damning description.

• In a widely circulated interview with Sky Sports, Zach Johnson said:
"We're not on the edge. I thought we could be on the edge, but we've surpassed it. It's pretty much shot. … Unfortunately, they've lost the golf course."
