David Lingmerth, the UA alum, is currently tied for the lead at -3. But Rory is only one back.

Lingmerth is still tied for the lead at -4

Morikawa is looking mighty strong right now.  Once he sniffs the lead he’s tough to shake. 

And that Master Longhorn is making his way toward the top. 

Gonna be a great battle.

I have -5 winning.  The course always bites harder on the weekend.

I put 10 bucks on him yesterday at Oaklawn.  He was +3300

Maiden claimer?   Hard to think he could carry a lot of weight.

Joel Dahmen is a good guy to root for if you want an underdog to spoil the party. 

His caddie is a great follow and does a lot of video diaries of his various travel adventures.   

Here’s an example…

His man is playing in the final group on Saturday of the US Open and this is how they stay grounded. So awesome.

Don’t look now but  Scottie just eagled from the fairway to take a two shot lead.

Then the course kicked his ass and he gave 5 back.  Sitting down three at -1 now.  Crazy course built with dynamite and mules.

Lol

It's a really cool place. Most places don't have the luxury of being able to use holes from 3 different nines and making a major championship layout. I hope they play something there again soon and change it up for that

I certainly don’t hate that.  Looking like it could be young Willy Z’s time.   But don’t count out the Englishman.  He won the US Amateur on this course in 2013.

Six players broke par. That round by Zalatoris was exceptional.  Should be a fun round to watch tomorrow. Would like to see Bradley up there. They always say par is the goal at the US open and it’s interesting that only one player sits there right now.

The Fitzpatrick thing is cool. The routing of the course was different then too. I think they're using the same holes but not using 4 this time and adding 11. I'd have to look at my book but I think there were only 3 par 3s in the am

What a cojones fairway bunker shot from Fitzmagic. 

[mr.zorak]

That putt on 13 was a big big make.

[hogslobber]

Played Will Z. Wednesday on line.

That was gut wrenching

[DRYANKNPULL]

What a cojones fairway bunker shot from Fitzmagic.

Deserved it for that shot. I thought he was fucked.

[Thin Red Swine]

Deserved it for that shot. I thought he was fucked.

And for him to admit the interview afterward that he didn’t want any fairway bunker shot because he was not good at those.  Gold.
