Not me

 

Maybe they’ve blocked me after my dreadful reviews 😂

Weird. Although they did sting me for some Ping i530s and a G440 before they closed so maybe that's kept me in the list.

This course looks absurdly difficult, I'm off 1.3 index and I'm sure I'd have a job breaking 100.

 

Imagine playing the Monday after the tournament without the thousands of ball spotters (spectators) around to find your ball, you'd lose so many, it'd be absolute carnage.

They’re going out their way to make any shot out of the rough basically a one stroke penalty. I’m guessing around +4 wins it.

Yes seems to be a tough course generally.

-4 was the winning score the at the last US Open at Oakmont. In 2007, the winner was 5 over par.

Someone help me out here. 

 

On Sky's coverage, the little leader board at the bottom right. 

Schauffele has a tiny blue arrow pointing towards his score. No one else does. 

 

What does it mean?!

It means he started his round on the back 9.

 

All players who started their round on the 10th should have that blue arrow or an asterix by their score.

Ahh got it, thank you! 

 

My next trivia question. Has a major ever been won with a score over par?

Absolutely.

 

I'm guessing there's been about 10 majors since the turn of the century that have been won with a score over par (mainly US opens)

 

I think Zach Jonson won the Masters over par in '07 and I know Paul Lawrie and Padraig Harrington won the Open with an over par score.

2007 US Open was at this course, won by Angel Cabrera with a score 5 over par.

I think the famous Jean Van der Velde last hole disaster at the Open in 1999 was won with a plus score?

Yep, Paul Lawrie won at +6 (came from 10 shots back at the start of the round!)
