US Open starts today at Brookline Boston, going to be interesting to see how the fans react to the 'Saudi' players. Following his win last week, Rory is the favourite and he was the last player to win the week before a Grand Slam and then go onto to win a major, PGA in 2014.

C'mon Rory (he's due one) and Shane. Should be plenty of support for them given it's in Boston and this will help. https://twitter.com/ShaneLowryGolf/status/1537200195477331968

Rory 10/1, Thomas & Rahm 12, Scheffler 14, Smith 20, Cantlay and Schauffele 22. Best Brit Fitzpatrick 40 and best 'Saudi' Johnson 40.

I thought the Saudi players had been kicked off the tour?

They've had a stay of execution.

The PGA Tour is separate from the US Open and they can't decide who can play in it.

That's rubbish. So don't the people that organise the US Open have any morals? I hope the scabs get booed but in the land where money means everything, I doubt it.

Best Brit is surely Rory 10/1 😉

He must be playing well.

Good to see Matt Fitzpatrick in contention again, following the PGA, Rahm, Scheffler and Rory also in the race. Biggest surprise was Morikawa with 77, I fancied him to win it after the 2nd round.

Question: why is it, that when a player slices his ball into the crowd, and by hitting the crowd the ball ends up in a better position than it would have ended up in had the ball not hit the crowd, the player hitting the ball into the crowd is not subject to a penalty, of say at least one shot?

Brilliant Matt Fitzpatrick

[Gareth]

Totally brilliant, watching the two players walking up 18 chatting was class….the understated reaction of Fitzpatrick when Zalatoris missed the putt was also class….that bunker shot into 18 was ridiculous:-)

Answer

Yes, I understand that is the rule, but what I don't understand is why it's the rule, ie why a ball, hit into the crowd, is effectively allowed to be played from a better position than the ball would have been in, had the ball not been stopped on its way by the crowd - and without attracting at least a one stroke penalty.

Well done Matt, nice to see another Irishman win a major.

The European Tour continues in Munich from today.

Once again Lexi Thompson blows her chance of winning another major, her putting was very poor today.
