Martin Kaymer or the field

[Mudcat]

6 stroke lead after 2 rounds of the US Open. Does he hold on?

Feel like I gotta go with the field.

Hung on pretty good there for round 3. Strokes can be lost in bunches here but then same rules apply to everyone chasing and I'm not seeing a lot of hella scary names there.

Kaymer should hold. The top 5 US Open comebacks are by 7, 6, 5, 5, 5 strokes. So the two tied for 2nd (along with kaymer) would need a top 5 US Open performance. After watching the early rounds I just don't think the course has that much variance in it.

And that'd be to force a playoff. They'd need a top 3 comeback performance to outright win.

That's a good line tho.. was -225 to -250 @ 5d all morning.

wow, course looks to be alot easier today

I dislike when the analysts and play by play announcers try to maintain that there is isn't a runaway. I realize they have to cover their buts JIC there is a once in a lifetime comeback and even if not their job is to keep it interesting for the viewer. But cmon.

Also, now they are constantly railing Kaymer for not smiling/enjoying this win. F-you let him do whatever he wants, it's his game that got him there.

I didn't see any of it but if they were saying that, they suck. I agree, people can be different.

I know, it's amazing to contemplate, but people can be different.
