    That pic of Lefty is classic as it gets. What is he thinking?
    Exactly what he told everyone: ‘I am so stupid’.

    Rahm is good at guessing. I think it was at Jacks he said the winner would shoot -10 under. He won at -9 under despite the ball moving penalty at 17.

    I do think the boys will shoot lower this week than previously at Winged Foot. Lefty might beat his score from last time.

    One thing:
    Tom you say 1 par 5 on the front, the 9th at 565. But the 4th is 567. They playing that as a par 4 also? Typo? What’s up?

    Personally it doesn’t seem too long for these days. It’s all about this rough. They need to maintain it penal as can be to maintain the reputation of Winged foot.

        A US Open par 4 at 567 wouldn’t sound so crazy anymore.

        Btw Phil used the word ‘idiot’ back in 2006, not stupid.
