U.S. Open thread

I hit the DVR to record and ran to the range for an hour... now I'm back and all caught up. God Bless DVRs.

Oh, and to piggyback on the earlier comment on NBC's HD cameras, you're telling me they're too cheap to purchase on-course HD cameras? It's really annoying to go from non-HD to HD. Then again, I still get to watch most of the broadcast in HD, so I'm not going to bitch too much.

HUGE par on No. 6 by Tiger. Wow.

 

Putts dropping for Tiger now. I think he's going to pull this out, but a LONG way to go, of course.

 

Badd isn't good today. Badd is bad.

 

I hit the range as well, then came back to see Badds miss putts he should make.

Then again, everyone -- everyone save Angel Cabrera and to a lesser extent, Tiger -- is throwing up over themselves in various degrees over 7-10.

What were those putts about on 10, Steve Stricker? Geez, that was hideous.

 

Nos. 7-10 are killer...

Somehow I don't see Angel succumbing to the pressure... Tiger is going to need to find some birdies and quit scrambling. If he keeps missing shots like his approach on No. 9, he's toast.

 

What a shot by Cabrera at 15.
Up three now with three holes left for Cabrera. Tiger better make some birdies...

 

Looks like Tiger has a great opportunity to get that birdie. Nice 7-iron from 180. Sheesh.

 

Tiger seems to make those putts when he's up one or two, but he doesn't seem to make them when he's chasing someone.
Furyk with the birdie, Cabrera with the bogey and Cabrera leads by one. Tiger two back.

 

What a run by Furyk.

 

Does anyone actually want this F'in tournament? I realize it's a tough course, but it seems like every time someone's had a truly big moment, they've fucked up.

 

I noticed that, too. Koch is awful. Same with "Murph" and "Rog". I guess all the nicknames after four days of watching too many hours of this tournament is finally breaking my will to live.
