So many golfers I like for the US Open this week:

 

Matt Fitzpatrick 

Fleetwood

McIlroy

 

Giving us a strong chance of a European winner

 

Home crowd:

Scheffler obviously

Burns

Cam Young

Gotterup

 

Outsider shout at 100/1 I like Gary Woodland, won a US Open before at Pebble which is exposed and windy like Shinnecock will be. Also won already this year and posted two other top 10s. 

Long way to go, but go on Gary lad!

Clarke just hit two poor drives and managed to birdie the first of those holes and looks like he may so the same on the second 

Sometime your lucks just in!

[Super_horns]

Matthew Fitzpatrick and a load of Americans basically it seems.

[Izzy]

USGA speeding up the greens today and clearly want everyone going backwards.

 

The field at least a couple of shots worse off than yesterday. Anything around even par today and you'll be gaining ground.

[spacemunky]

Clark certainly didn't make any of us Canadians fans of his last weekend here.

 

Hope he chokes tomorrow!

[Super_horns]

Don't think there was one round under par .

 

Must have been a nightmare to play

 

Even the pros can struggle badly

[st albans fox]

Can’t see anyone posting lower than a 66, even with a lesser breeze today, so Clark can probably afford to go round in +1. 
 

He won this major three years ago - you wouldn’t expect him to choke but if Scottie can get on a roll and get to -5 then you just never know

Lottie Woad holing her bunker shot on 17. Hopefully a stress free 18th on the way to victory…

Well, that didn’t go to plan, bogey 6 to go into a play-off.

1 over so far today.

 

Burns within two.

[Super_horns]

Sam Burns certainly on a charge .

Just one behind now.

[NJFox]

No locker is safe in that clubhouse…

[Izzy]

Nobody wants the blow pig to win. 

Scottie still in with a shout and could win with his B minus game.

Cashmere Keith Mitchell would be a popular winner.

Now that all the Brit's are out of the running I wouldn't mind Sam Burns winning. He's probably due a major with his talents.

Clark has steadied the ship around the turn.

It’s just been a bit dull hasn’t it. Not one that will live long in the memory.

Certainly won’t with the fans there .

 

They hardly cheered Clark at all .

[Officer Doofy]

Gary Woodland pocketing me some nice E/W money 

 

Good lad

[Izzy]

Our greens are immaculate right now and I putted the lights out with 28 putts in todays midweek medal.

 

The confidence knowing that if you hit your line with the right pace, there's a good chance it will drop.

 

I know we lord the pro's for their putting ability but it's hardly surprising seeing as they play on carpets week in week out.

 

For most of the year amateur golfers putts are bobbling all over the place so it's nice to enjoy the rare weeks when the greens are perfect and true.

 

[Izzy]

Scottie on '59 watch' with a couple of holes left on his 2nd round.

[HowardsBulletHeader]

Having a horror show on the course right now, need a break from the game I think.

 

Checks calendar....

 

Playing Monday, Tuesday, lesson Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

 

The universe is out to get me.

Spoken like a true addict

Match play moment there for Vik. As the saying goes, first in wins!

Scottie will be having nightmares over missing that four footer.

Wesley Bryan on the verge of qualifying for the Open with Peter Finch on his bag. 

 

 

[Officer Doofy]

We're there a couple of Leicestershire lads who qualified last year or have I dreamt that?

 

 

Had a little £2 on Tyler Duncan for the John Deere at 940/1 and he's tied 8th

Just one I believe,  Frazer Jones from Kirby Muxloe,  unlucky to miss out by one shot this year at Burnham & Berrow.
