  1. This coverage is a bag of shit. If this was the BBC this coverage would be be a burnished specimen of perfection, oozing class from every angle, with commentators that know and can pronounce every name. This would be a very smooth calming affair with the BBC. Not like this bunch of fucking jokers.

  2. Once again the USGA has showed golf fans around the world that they are not trying to identify the best player in the field but are trying to embarrass the best players in the world. The USGA once known for their ability to setup courses to find the best player in the field have once again gone over the edge with their setup and pin placements as the average score is now over 76. I expect that if the greens aren't brought back to life with some watering or a good rain storm the winner will be posting a four round score that is over par. The USGA needs to invite the members of the PGA Tour and the PGA for input as to golf course setup and especially pin placements. The USGA is no longer the expert it claims to be, lets just hope for Shinnecock's members sake that the USGA doesn't ruin the greens as the USGA has done there before by not putting enough water on the greens, burning them out over the four days of the tournament proper.

  3. Unfortunately in Australia we don't get much coverage of these event and I must say this would have to be to worst broadcast ive seen. The camera work is second rate and I'm not even going to start on the commentary, so very disappointing.

  4. Be Jesus, after much deliberation and study of this brilliant course I've come to the conclusion that there can only be one winner here with certainty, and his name is Rory!!!

  5. the golfer at 25:36 teeing off is nervous as hell…. you can tell .It looked like he nearly topped his tee shot . He rushed big time. I blame it on his basketball outfit. ?

  6. FOX sucks ass with their Golf Coverage. After seeing it for the first time at Chambers Bay, I had trouble watching it because their camera work sucks and it was breaking over to other players too quickly.NBC knows how to broadcast this event way better and the commentators are actually talking about golf.
