Chris Berman has his place at ESPN (it's fading), but he shouldn't be anchoring the US Open. He just doesn't fit.

Tiger blowing a big opportunity. Had it at +2 (-1 on day) going into the easiest stretch to close his round. Bogeyed 7 from the fairway and now probably going to bogey 8. Really favoring his wrist the last hole. His game around the green has been really bad. Evening play should be interesting

Great par save. Par, birdie to close would be outstanding

There was a Sportscenter commercial on several years ago where Evander Holyfield found out that Charlie Steiner said he was the 50th best heavyweight...in Georgia. Holyfield then stalked the hallways yelling out "Charlie, c'mon out and take your whuppin," as Steiner cowered underneath his desk.
Well, I'm here to take my whuppin'. I thought this was going to end up like Congressional. I was, in the words of Dr. Cox, "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong/ wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong." If I'm the USGA, I'm never going back to Congressional, not Merion.

The rough is the big difference. They aren't having to hit hybrids into these greens, and the greens are still like superglue. Five woods are embedding in their pitch marks. But the rough is so dense and juicy that it's a legitimate penalty to the bomb-and-gouge type players, and the lack of graduated rough around the greens has significantly increased difficulty as well.

Another thing that makes this course difficult is the fact that the par 5s are not birdie holes. Two is easier than four, but still.
Still, pros should not be missing fairways with four irons, like Rory just did.

It's still soup out there. There was a photo of Tiger putting at earthworm level earlier and his shoes and pant legs were absolutely caked in mud splatter.

That was not a horrendous lie. You could see McIlroy's ball, and it was sitting up. Begay is a Ripple-chugging moron.

Mickelson well on his way to an 80.

Wind looks to be dying down. I might expect some better scores

Wow. What a horseshit ruling for Kuchar. That should be an unplayable lie.
