Anyone out there want to follow along and comment? Just an awesome venue. THIS is what a US Open is supposed to look like - both on television and on the leader board.

[newfreep]

Love to see Phil win - so deserving of it after 5 runner-ups.

Stricker another good guy and in the mic=x, too.

Anyone but that lying (steroid) cheating Weasel Woods.

[FlJoePa]

Sergio just managed a 75 with a 10 after being heckled by tiger fans all day.

Whatcha got tiger? Besides a bunch of bogey holes left.

[jazusamo]

Agreed...I most always root for Phil, he's a class act and gives back to the game and fans, Stricker’s a good guy too.

[Ronald_Magnus]

Anyone know how many golfers make the cut for the final round?

[alarm rider]

Yep, I get tired of the talking heads lining up to kiss the Woods rear end.

[FlJoePa]

The cut has been made - it’s done after 36 holes. No more cuts.

[jazusamo]

Woods bogied 18 to finish at +9 for tournament:)

[FlJoePa]

Nice round by Ricky Fowler w/a 67. Gets himself right back in the mix.

[Ronald_Magnus]

Thanks. Should be good one tomorrow.

[jazusamo]

Thanks for the thread. Go Phil!

Rooting for Phil or Charl Schwartzel. I wish Ernie was a little closer, but you never know. He is always my choice in any tournament.

Exciting tournament and electric atmosphere at a perfect course for this tournament. Can’t ask for more. Even non-golf fans will be watching (without Tiger - imagine that)

Is it ok w/ everyone if I start another live thread tomorrow around 1PM? Don’t know the golf ping procedures. Don’t want to step on any toes.

[Kid Shelleen]

Still no hole in ones ever at a US Open but Francesco Molinari and Brian Stuard came close yesterday..

2:02 p.m. – A loud roar comes from the fans around the 13th green as Francesco Molinari, brother of Eduardo Molinari, who won the 2005 U.S. Amateur at Merion, nearly holes his tee shot.

http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2013/06/15/news/doc51bb4f7c950a7089254196.txt

Stuard dropped a wedge within about 6 inches of a hole-in-one on the 113-yard hole and tapped in for a birdie, the last of his four for the tournament.

[jazusamo]

I'll check in if you post another thread tomorrow and don't think you'll be stepping on any toes cuz I didn't see anyone else start one today.

[FlJoePa]

Just to keep everyone interested...

The Golf Channel's Holly Sonders - formerly Holly Niederkohr from Michigan State:

Know that I didn't lay out this girl's wardrobe, and I can say that it wouldn't fly at the club I grew up at. That said...well...

[deport]

Standard dress for the gals on the tennis circuit, isn’t it?

[FlJoePa]

Whatever it is, I have no objections at this point in time. Any girl that can supinate and pronate while looking like that is AOK with me!

[Moonman62]

Typical Philly fans yelling "fried chicken" all day long at Sergio. I don't really get the hatred for the guy. I guess it's just the Tiger fans that just seem to want to be idiots.

I think it's the same group that heckled Colin Montgomerie. They know Sergio is childish and they can get under his skin. Too bad since Sergio is one of the best tee to green players ever. So was Montgomerie.

[Moonman62]

Wouldn’t be surprised if his name came up in the Miami MLB investigation that’s about to blow wide open.

Is that the same one that mentioned LeBron of the Miami Hoodies?

I would like to see Phil or Stricker win. Anyone but Tiger would be good. NBC even did a short piece on his girlfriend.

[MHGinTN]

Her feet don’t look big enough to keep her from falling over! What magic is this? ... Seriesly, a beautiful gal.
