US Open golf thread & pick-em game

Ha - I tried to join and ended up in a generic pool. Putt4Purple is listed there. I'm at -15 so I should have been more careful joining. View attachment 17567

Since you got signed up in time, you might still be able to add your entry to the KF.c pool. Click on the Pools tab, then "Join a Pool" and search this code: laosgoer

Haha. Same thing happened to me. Tried to join, but it said registration was closed.

Oh, well, I'm like -16 thanks to Lowry and Fleetwood.

For those who got in to Superbru but not to the KF.c pool, feel free to post screenshots of your status like @froginmn did and we'll consider your entry in our standings.

Ha - not trying to get credit or be considered; just pointing out my own failure! I'm a big rule follower so even though there's no prize at stake I'm fine to disqualify myself.

Similar to @gohornedfrogs when I realized my error I tried to join the right one but registration is closed.

Appreciate you coordinating this; just know that you had at least a couple of additional people trying to join.

There’s a 65 out there today if someone wants to be aggressive. It’s soft enough to hold shots. Somebody is going to mount a charge.

 

[JogginFrog]

Brutal finish for Tom Hoge yesterday. Bogey-double finish to miss the cut by one.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

That is one tough course. Sheesh.

That is one tough course. Sheesh.

As someone once said “you don’t win the US Open it wins you “

Like this story about former LSU player Philip Barbaree, who had never made a cut on the PGA or Korn Ferry tours, earned his spot at Oakmont by surviving two qualifiers, and went to bed Friday after play was suspended knowing he had to par the 9th hole Saturday morning to make the cut...and earn exemption from Stage 1 of Q school.

 

[ShreveFrog]

I met Phillip at the ol’ course where I marshal a few months ago. Nice young man! Also met our other Shreveport current player who starts today with the lead. Met Sam his last year at LSU at the PGA tournament in New Orleans. He walked up with his buds by a tee box as I was watching the TCU team of Henry-Hoge. Also a nice dude.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Thanks to the rain delay, I've been watching Tiger in his heyday - 2008 US Open. Just wow.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Really shiddy luck for Sam on the drive on 15. I’m just sick.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Well, congrats to JJ Spaun. He overcame his bad breaks.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Helluva putt by Spaun to finish it.
Was rooting for Sam, but oh well.

One of the greatest putts in golf history.

Scores got tighter in Round 4. While my Superbru leaderboard hasn't updated, I think the final results of the KF.c pool (sans @froginmn & @gohornedfrogs) are:

-29 @ShreveFrog
-32 @bc puckett
-32 @Realtorfrog
-34 @Putt4Purple
-35 @hometown frog

Congrats to ShreveFrog and thanks to all for playing! Congrats to J.J. Spaun, national champ, and to Oakmont for being a great host site.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Thank you, @JogginFrog for organizing this again. I finally won one of these. Just wish Sam had taken the trophy. But Spaun played a great tournament. Coming back after putting up a 40 on the front today while getting some really unlucky bounces. Nails.

 

[gohornedfrogs]

What a Father’s Day!

Redeemed an otherwise incredibly boring Open. But In 25 years no one will be talking about how difficult it was to watch...they'll be talking about the Putt Heard Around the World.
