McDowell is looking good here.

Wow... Did not expect that! I'm curious to know what Alan Shipnuck of golf.com has to say about this :P

Patiently waiting for Sergio to win a major

Is Tiger's career over?

This guy has not won a major in 4 years, after still being in contention day 3 he goes +6 in 6. I think he lost it.

I think he might have peaked too soon in the build up to be honest. Great at Memorial (don't know what he was like last week, I assume good), good at the start and the wheels have come off. It's hard to play great golf for 3 straight weeks... But I still expected him to post 67/8 today!

So after +6 you expect him to go -10????

Jim Furyk just teed off on the 6th I think and someone shouted MASH POTATO!!!! What is it with these Yanks and shouting random crap?

No no, that's what I was expecting before the round. After 6 it was a case of how high he could go

you said "still 67/68"?

Yes, but I said I 'expected' him to do that, which would suggest that I meant prior to what happened over the first 6 holes. Regardless, I really wanted McDowell to make that putt!

Probably the most uninspiring major i've watched in a while. The USGA really need to stop pratting around making the golf courses impossible.

Agreed. The fact that not a single player finished level par shows that the course was just too tough!

I don't know if I agree... I love seeing top players struggle like us Joking aside, I think it's good when par means something, and tournaments don't just turn into putting contests. I don't think there were any holes where you could say 'that's just impossible to play' (unlike the 17th at Pebble Beach a couple of years ago).

I also found it interesting to watch, until everyone started making bogies. I was hoping Els would win!

There seemed like no chance for recovery when players went off course. Thats my favourite aspect of watching profesional golf is how they can pull of ludicrous shots to save par when they need to. Bubba Watson shot to the green in the play off of the masters sums it up best.

Whenever anyone missed a fairway or green they were lucky to make bogey. Don't get me wrong playing consistent golf is the most difficult thing to do, but it can make for dull viewing.
Also there was no real drama, McDowell's missed putt to take it to the play off just gave me a sense of 'mehh' after it was all over.

I would also agree with that (contradicting my first statemet ). It can be hard to watch sometimes. For excitement alone, nothing beats the Masters. 2011 was insane! The problem with this US Open was that it was such a tight course there was no room to play with, even if you got a good lie.

I.e. We saw some great recovery shots at Torrey Pines in 2008, but it was easier there because there weren't thousands of trees lining the fairways. So I think the problem this week was the course, not necessarily the set up (though of course that made it tougher).

I agree in the sense that the course needs to be challenging; but for no player to finish level par makes me think they went too far. That's why I love watching the Masters, because you get to see lots of birdies/eagles etc. Although Watney did get an albatross...!!
