Just got back from walking 36 holes today as a marshall, and wow... what a day!
I think today's conditions were just perfect, not too firm and not too soft. They watered the course only a little bit last night. The course is probably about 50% dormant, so brown is everywhere. With cooler temperatures and moisture in the air, the course did not dry out too much from the morning to the afternoon. I think that bodes well for US Open as you are more likely to have weather like this in mid-June.
Both David and Peter played great all day. The morning match was really close with both matching each other's great play. Peter made a few more 8 to 10 footers and that made all the difference. Uihlein is a REALLY long hitter and he drove just great all day. Not only did he keep in on the fairway (not that hard), he put the ball on the correct side time and time again which made his approach shots as easy as possible. David was not as accurate off the tee, but he scrambled like crazy when he faced some adversity. But it is hard to beat someone who is making almost no mistakes all day.
This was an awesome US Am and i will definitely remember this for a very long time.
P.S. I am watching the recorded telecast and I see myself every now and then. Can you recognized me?
