Players already struggling. It's going to be a bloodbath this afternoon when it's totally dry and the winds pick up.

Phil bogies two of the first three holes.

Then again, he's not Scott Gregory of England, who started out par, bogey, triple, double, double, bogey, bogey.

Shouldn't pick on Phil at all, really. Spieth 4 over after 2, Mcilroy also 2 over after three.

Seven holes on back nine are playing at least half-stroke over par thus far

There's a pretty good chance that Scott Gregory (whoever he is) shoots 90.

Got a feeling these guys are going to have some choice words for Mike Davis and the USGA.

Yes, course today is gorgeous. It's why I watch the US Open.


Although I haven't, in fact, been able to watch any of the US Open yet.

evidently. Actually just following online.

It wouldn't have been outrageous for someone watching it to mention it, but if it makes you feel better to rag on me then I'm happy.
