US Open Golf thread. Greens fast enough?

The US Open starts today, at Winged Foot.

Looks like the greens are going to be a bit of a handful...

Feels like a bit of a lottery to me, not something to bet seriously on imo. Pick a handful of guys you like & who are fancy prices & throw a few fiver EW bets seems the way to me, but definitely not one to bet the shop on. You can get as much as 10 or 11 places here & there so you can't really have a bad bet, especially as 70% of the field have no chance.

@kapowblamz

Make that -2 thru 2.

kapowblamz

Got him at 48s. He's 21s after 2.

Hatton back to evens now. Matsuyama 1 under tho. I haven't seen either on the coverage yet but I've only watched bits.

Itsover4u

Be nice to see this chap still near the top day 4 for a bit of a sweat.... had some good form going in at a big price

Allan23

Higher scoring already today. Could be a real struggle for afternoon starters. Pieters could be in a v strong position if he holds out evenish

gpc70

kapowblamz

2 people under par in the whole day from what I can see. Tough gig.

kapowblamz

Make that 3. My man Matsuyama birdied last 2.

Fabulous day's golf, that's how it should be.

Winning score -1. Pfft

Chapeau Mr Dechambeau incredible performance.

I had a lucky escape with a whole 1pt profit thanks to a Harris English place, all thoughts he might contend evaporated after the 1st hole so I'm just glad he didn't fall apart.
