Just brutal. That second one looked like something I would hit. Ouch.

Really sad, but he got two majors before any real heartbreak. Think about all of those moments Norman endured to win only two, and never at Augusta.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is commit to a shot when you don't trust your swing, and it happened to him twice on 12.

Spieth was a relative mess all week other than his short game. It didn't surprise me that he eventually faltered, but the way that he did it was pretty incredible.
That's five straight top 4 finishes in majors, so I'm sure he'll be right back at it at Oakmont. Better have his swing figured out by then, though. |

Or first, why he's trying to hit a cut into that pin in the first place |

Unless it was filled with water, he would probably miss his jump.

Having a five shot lead and going bogey-bogey-drink would throw anyone into a tailspin. 2) Tried to get too cute. The play on 12 is to accept hitting it in the back bunker instead of trying to throw one in tight. There just isn't enough space. He's still a great player and he'll likely win several more majors, but it's the law of averages balancing things out a little bit. How many other guys double bogey the 71st hole in the US Open and then have their competitor three putt from eight feet to hand them the trophy? With as fortunate as he was last year something like this was bound to happen.

So, can Lowry finish it off today? I tend to think he'll come back to the pack at some point. The pressure and the course are just to much.
I'd love to see the old war horse Westwood win one.

This seems like the kind of major that a decent, but not great player wins. Broken up by weather, the course playing much easier than it normally does, and great players not playing well. Overall, this has been a really disappointing US Open, much in the vein of the last two. I just am not a fan of the Mike Davis US Open setups.

None of the big names near the top really have a reputation as a closer. Dustin Johnson, Westwood, and now Furyk and Sergio are making a charge. Lowry's got a good shot at this if he just plays steady.

DJ's amazing. He bombs it way down the fairway, then hits a mediocre-to-bad wedge and makes par.

FOX is only showing the top 3 in the bottom corner, but with Lowry coming back and Johnson in 2nd, all those guys at -1 are still in it.
