Golfweek am tour. Depends on where you live of course. But check out the different tour regions on their site. I really enjoy this tour, people have been great, courses even better

Where are you located? They have different schedules for each region of the country

My company does all the awards for each tournament in the upstate region of South Carolina

I play in the GolfWeek AM Tour. GolfWeek AM Tour

Ive played for the last 3 years and love it. They have tournaments all over the country and have big tournaments that you can travel to and play course like TPC Scottsdale, Whistling Straights etc. They also do it by flights and handicap so it's competitive for all skill levels.

I know a guy that played in the AM tour and he loved it. He said the courses were a lot of fun in particular but he did have to get his handicap down far enough to play in the non handicapped flite. I have no idea how true it is but there is supposedly a lot if sandbagging going on.

It's what was the golf channel am tour, it's legit

I’ll add a few more..

1913 US Open (Francis Ouimet)

1977 Open Championship (Duel in the Sun)

2000 PGA (Tiger vs Bob May)

2004 Masters (I know most people on here hate him now, but Phil’s back nine rally to finally breakthrough was great)

2015 US Open, the last 3 holes with Spieth and DJ were nuts

What so special avout 50 us open??

2016 open henrik and philthy made it an epic tussle.

Just a reminder LIV reportedly threw a BAG at Adam Scott and he turned them down cold. He definitely feels like he should have more than one major, I'm pulling hard for him tomorrow

So many of the big names you want to contend are right there lurking with some great underdog stories in the lead. It’s going to be a grind on moving day.

Man I love Rory a lot but his media takes have rubbed me the wrong way so much lately. Seeing Scottie’s post round interview just now made me like him even more than I already did.

It’s not hard, man. Just be accessible, a little relatable, and it goes a long way

yes, but it's easy Karma

And was in a playoff with Rory at The Players. This isn't necessarily wire to wire, but he was never outside the top 5 for 3 days.

Congrats to J.J. Spaun! I’m pleased he won after his near miss at the Players about 3 months ago.

Oakmont could do the funniest thing…….

PGA has an impressive win list since 2010. Even Jimmy Walker was one of the best players in 2016 before getting Lyme Diseas. My guess is it’ll be another big name this week.

I think unfortunately youll see really low scoring. So much rain there the course will play soft. Seems like perfect conditions for Rory who already plays some of his best golf at Quail Hollow.

People hate to hear it when I bring it up, especially online. But when talking about the most monumental feel good wins of recent times I have that in the top 3.

Tiger '19, Rory '25, Phil '21, Tiger '08 and Lowry '19 as my top 5.

I look forward to CBS showing us an absolutely shit broadcast of one of the best events of the year.

Mcilroy is out of form. Doesn't have the fire anymore since winning the masters 

Old rant... but oh my days we are 35 MINUTES into prime time coverage on Sunday and they have shown ZERO actual live golf. Do they not know that there's this thing called the internet? MY BROTHERS JUST SHOW SOME GOLF!

Really cool to see them battling it out on such a tough test of golf. It’s refreshing to see higher scores for a change. 

COMON Bryson

Leaderboard is stacked with Masters veterans

Tuned in a little bit yesterday (dialed into March madness today) and Doral rules.

They played a tournament? Wouldn’t have known

Oakmont CC was originally designed to be an inland links-style golf course, was then transformed to more of a traditional parkland course, and has now been restored back to its original links-style design. The 2023 restoration by Gil Hanse was meant to take the course back to its original beauty and challenge. This resulted in 24,000 square feet of green expansions to allow for more pin locations.

Oakmont CC is going to play as a par 70 around 7,372 yards. It will feature Poa greens that average about 8,500 square feet. There are 168 bunkers covering over 330,000 square feet. There are no water hazards and the fairways average about 28 yards wide. The rough is a mix of Kentucky Bluegrass and Ryegrass and will be grown to about 5” and very thick.

The first thing I’ll be looking at is FAIRWAYS GAINED. I know distance is usually a must for US Opens, but I think the rough is going to be incredibly penal and hitting fairways is going to be a huge advantage this week. The USGA wants players to struggle to make par and Oakmont CC is going to be happy to oblige. We will still factor in DRIVING DISTANCE, but at a lower weight than fairways gained. Ideally we want someone who does both well, but accuracy is more important to me this week. The name of the game is going to be avoiding mistakes, which is why we’ll also be factoring in BOGEY AVOIDANCE. Hit your fairways, hit your greens, avoid 3 putts, and try to sneak in a few birdies. That is what I see being the winning formula for this week.

Next up we’ll talk about some more reality based-stats. The reality is everyone is going to Miss fairways and everyone is going to miss greens. So we’ll look at SCRAMBLING and SHORT GAME to identify the guys who can get out of trouble and avoid the big numbers. In the same vein, we’ll also factor in SAND SAVES for 2 reasons. One, there is just a lot of bunkers on this course so guys will inevitably find a few of them. The second reason is because players would rather be in the bunkers than in the rough, so there will be situations where guys are actually aiming at bunkers.

Next let’s talk about just how hard this course is likely to play. I think we’ll be looking at a winning score around 4-5 under. So we’ll be factoring in STROKES GAINED: DIFFICULT COURSES because we want to find the grinders, the guys who love the challenge and who have patience and good course management skills. We’ll of course factor in STROKES GAINED: APPROACH as always but I’m not going to focus on any specific distance. I think this will demand a very strong all around approach game. Wedges will be important when it comes to scrambling and mid irons will be important on the few holes that provide scoring opportunities.

Lastly, let’s talk a little bit about PUTTING. I’m going to specifically be focusing on putting from 0-5 feet and 5-10 feet because there’s going to be a lot of par putts coming from this range. These are Poa greens so we also want to pay more attention to guys who do well on this surface.

KEY STATS:

1. Fairways Gained
2. Driving distance (low weight)
3. Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green Difficult Courses
4. Strokes Gained: Approach
5. Scrambling
6. Strokes Gained: Short Game
7. Sand Saves
8. SG: Putting from 0-5 and 5-10 feet (lots of these to save par)

I’ve already bet Sepp Straka (50-1 DK), Sam Burns (80-1 DK), Cam Young (150-1 DK), and Matthieu Pavon (400-1 FD). I will be betting John Rahm and Corey Connors but I’m waiting for the odds adjustment because I think they should be priced longer. I’ll get my full card posted asap, cheers!

Sprinkled a little on Scottie and Rory. Cash out was around $35 last week. If Bryson wins will be very hard to not cash out

Astrology guy here - checking in for the US Open! Last week was one for the books as I hit 3 outrights all in the same weekend (never done that before) in Ryan (balls of steel) Fox, Joaquin Niemann on LIV, and the Bjorn/Clarke duo on the champions tour. Looking forward to keeping the momentum going into another major.

This week will not only test the guys physically on the course, but also mentally with all the air energy we will be getting. We’re still under a Gemini sun, but the moon will be in earthy Capricorn Thursday - Friday, then will shift into Aquarius Saturday - Sunday for a double air sign finish (lots of mental snaps incoming). Virgos have been the theme of the month since the Gemini sun highlights their 10th house (the career sector), but this week I’ll also be after Aries, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Taurus placements as well since they all should benefit heavy. My main fade of the week are Scorpio placements (Sorry Bryson and Rahm). Let’s dive in!

OUTRIGHT:

• Scottie Scheffler (Cancer Sun, Virgo moon and rising, Gemini Midheaven) Just wrap it up, I genuinely can’t see Scottie losing this week. I know it’s pure chalk and so boring, but he literally just won the PGA under last month’s Aquarius moon, and with his double Virgo placements AND Gemini midheaven (another career house) I just can’t see world #1 losing.

WITHOUT SCOTTIE MARKET/COULD MAYBE COMBAT SCOTTIE:

• Collin Morikawa (Aquarius sun and moon, Gemini rising, aqua midheaven) Collin has quite the chart for this upcoming double air weekend, but more importantly the Aquarius midheaven he has will benefit heavy from the moon.
• Keegan Bradley (Gemini x2, Virgo rising, Gemini midheaven, mars cap) Aye, Aye, Captain! Let’s be real: Keegs wants to badly qualify his way onto the Ryder cup team, and if there’s a week to show up and show out it’s the US Open. On top of external motivations, he has an amazing chart to support it this week.
• Tyrell Hatton (Libra sun, Cap moon, sag rising, Virgo midheaven) My favorite “hot head” golfer should definitely be in a zen this week, ironically. Aside from his great astrological outlook, he naturally shows up in majors so I like his chances to be on the first page leaderboard come Sunday.
• Taylor Pendrith (Gem, Cap, Virgo rising, gem midheaven) Give me another bomber who has the chart to support it this week. Love this pick!
• Tommy Fleetwood (cap sun, Pisces moon, Taurus rising, mars taurus) He’s gotta win someday right? Aquarius should light up his career sector, so a safer bet would be T10, but why not sprinkle for a W too ;).
• Niklas Norgaard Moller (Gemini x5, Gem midheaven, Virgo rising) Another long hitter who definitely has game. Such a stellar chart, I can’t leave him off my card.
• Ryan Fox (Aqua Sun, Libra moon, Aries rising, cap midheaven) I’ve hit Foxy outright twice this season, and why wouldn’t I take another sprinkle on him during this insane stretch he’s on? Love his chances to finish high on the list again.

OTHER NOTABLES/LIVE BETTING WATCH:

• Brian Harman (Cap Sun, Virgo moon, Taurus rising, cap midheaven), Cam Young (Taurus x2, mars Virgo), Gary Woodland (Gem, Aqua, Virgo rising, Gem midheaven), Akshay Bhatia (Aqua Sun, Virgo moon, gem rising), Corey Connors (Cap Sun, Aqua moon, Aries rising, cap midheaven)

That’s all I have for now! BOL to all and please lmk if you have any questions about another player or anything I missed!

Rory to miss the cut at +325

His best finishes were on Poa greens and I think the conditions are going to negate a lot of the advantages the other guys have over him. He also finished 5th in last year’s US Open so it would appear he likes the set-up.

Alright, here’s who I’m rolling with this week:

John Rahm (12-1, boosted to 15-1 BetMGM)

Sepp Straka (50-1 DK)

Sam Burns (80-I DK)

Harris English (100-1 FD)

Patrick Reed (110-1 FD)

Cam Young (150-1 DK)

Matthieu Pavon (500-1 FD)

Joe Highsmith (750-1 Ceasars)

Prop Bets:

Top African - Christian Bezuidenhout (+210 FD)

Top South American - Joaquin Nieman (-140 DK)

First Round Leaders:

Keegan Bradley (66-1 BetMGM)

Davis Thompson (90-1 DK)

Other Bets:

The par 3, 8th hole will play up to 300 yards long. DraftKings offers closest to the pin bets and you can get “no green” from anywhere between +400 to +800 odds depending on the group. I’ll be watching closely as the first few groups go through and if they struggle to hit that green I’ll be jumping on some of those bets.

As always, GL if tailing or fading!

Thank you! I couldn’t believe it, but I’ve been close many a times before on the trifecta lol finally got it.

Viktor Hovland yesterday played like he could have shot 65 but shot 71 because of his putting.

Today he's on track to shoot a 65 with his putting.

Cutting the coverage right before Rory’s putt is disbolical

Adam Scott going 70 70 is pure class.

Scottie showing the temper that earned him some hard time.

JT is like prime Tiger without the distance, accuracy, short game, putting, swag, or melanin.

he won the US open last year lol. i don't even like bryson but that's bogus m8. golf is hard

The downfall of Bryson on the last 3 and the rise of Scheffler on the last 5 was insane

Really tired of the “Scottie is boring” shit.

If you can’t enjoy striped drives and some of the best iron play we’ve ever seen then I really question if you’re actually a golf fan.

He seems like a good solid, family man. He jokes around plenty if you saw the Colt Knost videos with him this week. Wanting him to be more outrageous on the course is a contradiction to his game and what makes him so great. I, for one, am very happy Scottie is the best player in the world.

He was on PMT last year. He was awesome, just a normal, funny dude who happens to be the best in the world at something.

Scottie is awesome.

Bryson saying he hit a perfect shot on 17 and got unlucky is why people couldn’t stand him. One of only 3 water balls on the day but he had nothing to do with it.

F yall that think this ‘wasn’t a Major’ or something. The green mile destroyed the field and Scottie played -1 on Saturday and Sunday. That was a well earned PGA Championship.

And he exclusively hits a draw. A fade would have held it up against the wind
