THE UNITED STATES OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

Brooks is the real leader at -2. Tons of good players at +4, that is the cutoff.

Spaun has played well this year, so I’m not counting him out. I doubt he’s got the juice to win, but like Jhonny Vegas at the PGA, I expect him to stay near the top all week and be in the conversation til the end. Brooks and Rahm are the guys to watch at this point. If either of them is under par tomorrow, I imagine they’ll be the leader heading into the weekend. I think tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath. I think the scoring average could be as much as a couple shots higher. For guys like Bryson, Scottie, Spieth, and Rory, a 68 could rocket them up the leaderboard and position them well for the weekend. I think Morikawa is the guy to watch. He hit a lot of good putts today that didn’t drop, and he has the accuracy to avoid big numbers, which lurk on every hole at Oakmont.

Me and Joaquin Gonzalez shared a hearty laugh in the media room over this quote

The Bannon curse strikes again. Looks like you guys jinxed Brooks too.
-
And Scottie. I finally gave him some praise after the PGA
I was right though. Since the world rankings started in 1986 the #1 player has won the US Open only three times.

The jinx rules only apply when they are on the course.

It appears I jinxed Morikawa as well.

Morikowa is frustrating. Doesn't seem to have the fire to be great. Goes on a run and falls back. Misses short putts. I guess that's golf
-
Hovland, Burns, and Berger are all really good players who’ve never broken through with a major. If they can get to the clubhouse under par, they’re going to be sitting pretty at the end of the day. The bloodbath I predicted seems to be coming to fruition.

If Hovland believed in himself I would too. Jack once told Trevino when Lee was struggling - Lee if you only knew how good you are you'd beat all of us. Then Lee did from 68 to 72
Hovland has it all except upstairs at this point
