Oakmont proving its might!

After 2 rounds only 3 players under par. Some of the best have missed the cut. Rory had to birdie 18 to make it. He was throwing clubs. Bryson was 10 over, he’s gone. Scottie was arguing with his coach after his round. Several players caught saying “fuck this place”. It’s what a US Open is supposed to be.

But there is good news for the players. It’s calling for rain all weekend. Should soften up the course and make the greens slower. Time will tell.

Lowry was so frustrated he picked his ball up without marking it.

I was a Marshall at the 94 Open. Went to 18 to see Arnie walk up 18 for the last time. The crowd was incredible.

Are there many Negro players?

Oakmont was the first golf course to be deemed a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
