Sorry missed the early starters (prcik that put up the thread didn't even give the tee times ffs)

thanks crackpot

Go on Rahmbo...
What a start from the get go.

Piercy

My word....

Someone tell Scott Piercy this is the US Open.
You can not play like that.

I know your spelling is iffy JS but are you on Rahm ?

NO, HE IS NOT !


.....ONLY I AM ! (sea of green).

Catch Me ifyoucan  • June 13, 2019 12:58 PM BST 
BACK to Pebble Beach for the 2019 US OPEN.....and again it's time to re-wind-up the puppets on here


(((((RAHMBO))))))
(((((RAHMBO))))))
(((((RAHMBO))))))

Not at 50 Frames.

Bandwagon after all the chat, astonished as any at his start.

Just took some more Scott at 48 too.
Fair drift in house.

MORE WINDY this afternoon...... may not suit the later starters...... incl Cantlay, Scott, Kuch, Koepka, Woods, Spieth & Rose

Lefty just missed from about 15 inches!

It's been a grindhouse affair for Phil Mickelson, who missed another fairway at No. 2 and then came up just short of the green and hit his third about 10 feet below the hole. He knocked that one in for par to remain at even. If Phil can somehow post an under par round, that'd be very impressive given how he's played off the tee today.

Very surprised that scoring has not been better with soft greens & little breeze.

Still too low for a US Open though.  USGA absolutely bottled it with those soft greens.

Agreed, TB. I prefer a test of shot making, rather than ball striking.

another joke of a US Open here

And off he goes again.

Ominous

WEATHER FORECAST...

Increasing clouds, a shower or thunderstorm in spots late this afternoon

Who do we fancy for 2nd ?

Not again surely.

that chip was really going

Hovland was 90/1 for top euro

Pile it on Mr Majors...Brooks.

Lovely putting from the big Tiger too.

Hoping wind doesn't get out of hand this evening.

Leave until Sunday.

Pretty sure they firm it up for weekend. Luring them in false sense of security..

Feels like the first time in ages we've had a major that hasn't been preceded by a week of rain and the USGA of all people decide to turn the hoses on, surely they only need to do that if there's 25mph winds forecast and there definitely aren't.  Question is with it being cool and overcast how much can these greens firm up by the weekend?  At the moment this isn't much different to an AT&T.

agree TB and yet again that just suits the bombers

really hope it dries out for the weekend

Very disappointing isn't it. The last true US Open was Merion in 2013. They've had weather against them a few years since and bad choices the other years. This looks another bad choice.

Slovakian with the hole in one

i got 10p matched on Hovland at 790

holy sh1t that went in the hole at a mullion miles per hour

Zlatý Bažants for everyone.

Spiffy short game miserable today.

Take 5 under now in house sunday?

Tigerrrrrr.

Surely not.  Would need to get significantly harder from where it is now and without wind I don't see how they do that short of putting the pins in the bunkers.

INTERESTING AFTERNOON.....

The wheels have temporarily come off for Koepka and the Hoff both dropping shots, while ROSEY eagles 6th to get to -3.

You get the impression that Tiger's had that putt before as he walks in a 22 footer for birdie on 7th to get back to -1.

Imo this will get much harder over weekend.
Few pins in bowls today also.

They will certainly not be happy with 40 guys under par at the moment, that's for sure.  I do hope you're right, although knowing the USGA if they do try to take it the other way they'll probably mess that up too.

Here's a quick leaderboard check:
T1 Rickie Fowler -5 T1 Xander Schauffele -5 T1 Louis Oosthuizen -5 T4 Scott Piercy -4 T4 Aaron Wise -4 T4 Justin Rose -4 T7 Sepp Straka -3 T7 Emiliano Grillo -3 T7 Rory McIlroy -3 T7 Gary Woodland -3 T7 Nate Lashley -3 T7 Francesco Molinari -3 T7 Brooks Koepka -3

Jordan gone a tad wild....
Was going ok.

i'm surprised they are playing it as a par 71

theres 4 under before they start!

Brooks been a tad unlucky 3 holes on the bounce.
Been a foot from perfect.
In the crap each time.

Looking fairly tough out there now...

Coverage ****g appalling too.
Change name to Feature groups permanently.
Its pathetic.
Like only got 3 cameras out there.

Two groups and if your in lead or English you get on.

Very annoying indeed.

Yeah, it's not been great.  Does seem like it's a bit more challenging now, couple of mph can go a long way.

Hoping it’ll firm up.  But poa anna greens get grumpy without water.

golf is such a frustrating sport to follow, because the
coverage has always been poor.

you probably need 4 or 5 channels to cover everything
that golf watchers want to see.

then you still need shot tracker, and betfair odds open too.

Hosel rocket Ian again.....

**** off Adam...
Does the hard work then 6 at 18,5 at 1....
Frustrating player.

Lashley holed about 15 mins ago fgs.

Supreme Brooks.
Superb.

Was big on Lashley last week, better late than never.

Just lays of oosty and Piercy when he was leading so far for me

Adam 2 on trot,same score as Tiger now,not seen a shot...
Garbage.

Excellent coverage of Lee Slattery shooting 73 though.

English Lee.

Or leaders.
Or featured x3 groups.
No more.

Chez my only live one after day 1, -3 a decent knock this afternoon.

Although Lashley and Straka have joined the team for day 2.

Dear me Brooks...chances chances chances...

Lots of value around,guys at  very top not exactly prolific in majors or tourneys.
Topped up on a few,Kaymer,Rahm, Adam.

Woods hit some seriously poor shots today...

Dreadful play.

Stenson lurking, get the feeling he won't mind if it toughens up a bit over the weekend, happily plod along grinding out pars.

Defo gonna get tougher.
Big guns are really really struggling here, and theres no wind and slowish greens.
Only need 10 15 mph and its game on.

Think Brooks Rose and a few thers left a few out there.

Great up n down Brooks

Hopefully this is the plan - fairly easy opening day to keep plenty in it early on then let it dry out and tuck the pins a bit more over the weekend, ratchet up the difficulty til it's last man standing.

3 wood for safety,Almost OB....

Very strange back none Brooks.
Very strange choices 18...

Take it if that one goes in though.

Garbage.

Meanwhile Rose draining everything in sight...

Note to self.
Lay off the beers.

You did well jedi....i'm ashamed to say that it was just on too late for me last night, had to call it a day at 11.30pm!  What time did they actually finish?  Doesn't bode well for Sunday night for me!

Big guns didnt finish until around 3 am,and was several groups still out.
Watched Rose take lead then bobos.
He putted superbly back nine,really did.
Keopka played really bad imo or could've been alongside.
Conditions were not that bad imo.

Think a few may kick on this morning if conditions suitable.

Thank jedi. I am glad Keopka played as badly as he did, it was starting to look a bit ominous after 6 holes, his chip in on 5 was probably a 2 shot swing.  I am surprised at the scoring in general, wasn't expecting it to be as low as it is but I guess you can do that at Pebble.  I hope it's a lot tougher over the next few days, I prefer to watch a tougher test and that's what the US Open should be all about in my eyes.

Does look to be a fair difference between AM and PM wind today, and if the greens start to firm up through the day the guys who did well late yesterday may well have the advantage.  Most of the big names starting on 10 in the morning but the advantage might be with the guys going early off 1, get the scoring stretch from 1-7 in perfect conditions.  Wise, Lashley, Reavie and Stenson might have the plum tee times today if they're able to keep momentum up.

jedi

Brooks also had one of those lucky breaks with the chip in early on or could have been around par as I dont think that chip would have stayed on the green people forget often about things like that

The worrying thing for the rest of them is that Brooks' bad rounds are still -2 and slap bang in contention.

yes true TB

quite a few of them left shots out there yesterday especially Rahm not quite sure how he finished only 2 under

moli

How dare you sewter?! :-)

Recap of the day

Morning wave: Scott Piercy got his nose out in front early on, but late errors on both nines limited his early clubhouse target to 4-under-par 67 and it was soon bettered by Rickie Fowler who made three early birdies and maintained the pace to post 5-under-par 66. He was soon joined by championship specialist Xander Schauffele and Louis Oosthuizen. Sepp Straka, Emiliano Grillo, Gary Woodland and, most notably of all, Rory McIlroy settled for 68. Dustin Johnson could do no better then a level-par 70 and reigning AT&T Pro-am champion Phil Mickelson limped to a 1-over 72.

Afternoon session: Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland provided the fireworks early in the afternoon as they both roared out to 4-under thru 6. Both slowed their pace to finish on 2-under 69. It was Nate Lashley who impressed most. Playing his first round in a major championship, he managed a blemish-free 67 to post inside the top 10.  That was until Justin Rose came through late and seemingly couldn't miss on the greens. He went 15-for-15 from inside 15 feet and needed just 22 putts to make his way around today. That resulted in the best round of the day, a 6-under 65.

Leaderboard: -6 Justin Rose, -5 Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Louis Oosthuizen, Aaron Wise
Notables: -3 Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Francesco Molinari -2 Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, Graeme McDowell, Hideki Matsuyama, Brooks Koepka, Matt Kuchar, -1 Jason Day, Paul Casey, Tiger Woods, Evs Dustin Johnson, Tommy Fleetwood, +1 Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, +2 Justin Thomas,

Shot of the day: Rory Sabbatini's hole-in-one at the 12th. The 45th in U.S. Open history and eighth at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

sports fan I meant he should have been 5 or 6 under!!!!

Koepka (69) – Looked like a potential runaway victory when he opened with birdies in four of his first six holes. Slowed his pace at the day wore on with three bogeys and one birdie on the final 10 holes. Nearly lost his tee ball on the closing, par-5 18th despite clubbing down off the tee. Will be glad to regroup before a morning tee time on Friday.

PLAYED EASY on Day 1...

There were five rounds of 66 or lower on Thursday – a total made even more remarkable given the difficulty posed historically in US Opens at Pebble.
In the first five US Open Championships held at Pebble Beach, there were a combined total of 2,232 rounds played – and just seven resulted in scores of 66 or lower.

Seems the late wave of players caught the short end of the stick Thursday. While players in the morning wave had a scoring average of 72.05 and hit 66% of their greens in regulation, players in the afternoon wave averaged 73.35, hitting 54% of the greens.
