I'm not sure why he didn't give it a go either. Something out to the right with a draw on it. If it works, you have a putt for the tie. If it goes in the water. Drop, hitting 4. Up and down to save par and solo 2nd. Up and 2 putt for tie for 2nd.

Seems worth the gamble.

Even as good as these guys are, chance of holing one from 70 yards or so is virtually nil.

The chances of holing out are obviously higher for a wedge than running it on to the green, but it's still negligible in both cases.

A layup is the better shot if your sole aim is shooting a lower score on your round there (and by extension, preserving your higher paycheck). For the purposes of actually winning the US Open in that context, though? It essentially shuttered his chances.

I'm guessing if you go shot for shot, one from the rough at 247 yards out and one from the fairway at 70 yards out, that the guy from 247 chases it on the green before the guy holes it from 70.

As you look from green to tee box, the shot came from the front left corner of the first bunker on the right side, correct?

I tuned in late and I thought I heard one of the commentators call his decision "stupid." Pretty blunt.

Maybe it was the middle bunker on the right side looking green to tee. If I recall correctly, Hughes hit from the bunker on the left side, green to tee, and they said he was 227 out and Louie O was 247 out. Still an opening for a draw from the rough to chase it on. And if it goes in the water, par is still a good possibility for sole possession of 2nd place.

Anyone watching ‘Capital Ones the Match’ ?

Mickelson/Tom Brady vs DeChambeau/Aaron Rodgers

I think I'd sooner watch a replay of Super Bowl LV

I hope Brady steps in a Gopher hole snaps the Achilles a gopher bites his toe it gets infected and Haglands sets in.

I completely forgot this was even happening. What an idiotic time for this. I guess they didn’t realize the NBA finals would be starting on the same day so they were probably just hoping for a slow sports day, but why would anyone watch that shit? I don’t even see what channel it’s on. Did they try to make this a pay per view or something?

Mahomes must not be a good golfer either? Why would both Rodgers and Brady both be chosen over him for this?

Mahomes is playing in American Century's tournament this week.

Hope that bear eats Brady..

I'd really like to go watch that one year. Looks like a blast.

So I just won a set of Titleist T400 irons on a golf message board. 7i through W2.

Looks like around $1100 value.
