U.S. Open?

WTF is this?

The ugliest course I have ever seen.
Are there even greens on this course?
Who are these commentators?

Is this really the U.S. Open? It's unwatchable

Different course for sure for a US Open. Links style with what looks like poana greens.

As an aside to the course, Spieth looks like a real threat to win the first two legs

The Fox announcers are lowering the standard for the profession....

The greens are fine fescue and annual bluegrass (poa annua) from what I've heard.

Greens look like dirt to me

On NPR yesterday they mentioned the golf course is closer to ones in the British Open.

The Fox telecast has been awful. Hopefully they can get it worked out because they have the rights to the US Open for awhile. As for the course, I hope they don't ever go back to Chambers Bay.

Brutal choke by Dustin Johnson on final hole.

Poulter rips the USGA and posts a picture of a green.

greens were terrible, but playing a links course made it so much more entertaining.

Could not have happened to a better dude.

Billy Horschel was hilarious. He missed several short putts and still shot 67

They finally figured out how to play that course Sunday but the greens were a joke all week

Greg Norman out after just one year on the FOX broadcast. Seeing lots of noise about Azinger taking over. FOX does need to get someone that has been on TV doing the job before, which Azinger has done and done well.

Norman was touted as Fox’s version of Johnny Miller as the network took over the rightsholder of the U.S. Open last year. But instead, Norman often sounded aloof and confused. And when it was time for a strong opinion, Norman often went silent.

Accorrding to Golf.com, a source close to Fox Sports said Norman’s performance puzzled the network, “he didn’t do his homework and he didn’t know any players who weren’t Australian.” In addition, the source said Norman was often unprepared:

“It was tough for the whole staff because he wasn’t involved in the shows like a lead analyst should be,” the source said. “Maybe he thought just being Greg Norman was enough. He’s been successful in everything he’s done in business but he wasn’t good at TV. He was a team player but when the cameras turned on, he just went silent.”
