Mavric Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 .... is off to a pretty slow start. Weather delay of about an hour. Looks like players are back on the course so I'm assuming they'll be back at it shortly. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Who in the heck is Andrew Landry? After 13 holes he leads by the field by three shots at -5. I doubt that will last long though. Bubba in second at -3. Quote Link to comment

Bubba in second at -3. Web.com player who got hot Thursday morning. I saw him missed a couple make-able putts for birdie, too. The US Open always has no-name guys who went through local qualifying that come out of nowhere and are up on the leaderboard the first 2-3 rounds. IIRC, the last local qualifier to end up winning was Steve Jones in the mid-90s. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Play suspended for the day. Pretty close to the Open I attended at Bethpage in 2009. They played for a couple hours before the rain started and halted play for that day. For the next three days they played sunup to sundown. Got to see a lot of golf. Only thing that sucked was our flight left Sunday night so I had to watch the final round on TV. Quote Link to comment

Only thing that sucked was our flight left Sunday night so I had to watch the final round on TV. The hard part for U.S. Opens to catch up on play is that there are so many players in the field (180+) and guys not used to those types of conditions that the rounds take 5-6 hours to complete. It does help that the tournament played at the peak hours of sunlight for the year, but fitting almost 4 full rounds of play into 3 days is going to be tough, and a nightmare for TV.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if they get done on Sunday now. Didn't get very far today. Quote Link to comment
