This course is really good, surprised I hadn't come across it previously. Really tough to score well with the length of the course, wind, and heavy rough. I played solid for me and shot -8 (both rounds -4). If that doesn't make the cut, I belong on Web.

I practiced two rounds on this course to even and -1. Very tough course, imo, especially if you can’t get control of fast downswings. I just ended up with long putts every green.

Tried a little different approach to the course than my practice rounds and tried to play bogey free by lagging putts so they didn’t roll Off the green, playing with 1 less club than I normally would have on elevated greens, etc. Ended with -4 on round 1 with two crucial missed short birdies. Round 2 was -4 until hole 17. This is not a course to bogey on as hard to get it back. I bogeyed 17 and parred 18 for a -7. I probably missed cut by that putt and a two missed 7 footers.

That course was a real challenge for me. With inconsistent tempo I avg around 30 + feet away from stick on most approach shots, and with these big and fast greens that led to some very challenging two putts. Went -5 rd 1 with no bogeys. Felt I left a few out there, but pleased overall. Rd 2 I played basically the same, but added two more birdies along with two bogeys for another -5. Finished -10 to watch the cut line as the week progresses. I liked the course, just haven't been able to play consistent for 4 rounds, let alone two Good luck all!

Shot a legitimately decent round of -7 in round 3. Really hope -8 holds for the cut. Right now it's looking like it will be very tight around that number. I'm thinking -8 is T-72nd or so and I go home.

I'm thinking -8 is T-72nd or so and I go home. There's a pretty big Euro contingent in the US Open - I think the cut will be a higher score than usual this week.

I based my prediction on the same number of entrants as last week!

Shot a -2 in the first round on Sunday and quit. Started my second round tonight, had 2 bad early lip-outs but was hitting the ball well and was -8 overall through 15. Then I had two awful shots and bogeyed 16, and couldn't sink either of my birdie putts on the last 2 holes, so now I'm sitting on the cut line at -7 for the tournament.
I'd continue anyway but I have a cut on my finger and it's kind of uncomfortable to use the controller.

Finished at -22 (-4, -4, -7, -7). Just needed to correct those first two rounds to -7 as well! Maybe a top 10 could happen at some point. For now, though, just want to make cuts more consistently.

So in the third and fourth rounds I put my drive in the fairway, had a fast downswing on the approach, missed a 40 foot birdie, then tapped in a 3 footer for par. I don't mean on a particular hole, that was basically every hole.
On some occasions you could replaced the missed 40 foot birdie with a 30 yard flop out of a bunker.

My sentiments and results exactly. Went -7 first two rounds then -2 total the next two rounds.
