BROOKLINE, Massachusetts – A lot can happen on Saturday at the US Open, especially with a chart as crowded as this one. With a combination of big names and lesser known ones, things can get interesting on a cooler and windier day at The Country Club.

Here’s what happens:
It gets spicy there
Justin Thomas was unhappy after a USGA officer refused to allow him relief from drainage in the middle of the fairway. His ball was inches to the right of the canal. He would be relieved if the drainage affected his posture or swing line. After cutting his blow, Thomas expressed his disappointment in a, well, very colorful way. “It annoys me because so many other people would lie that they could hit it, but it’s like I’m not going to hit it. That’s f —— b —— -, man, “Thomas told caddy Jim Bones McKay before throwing his iron in his bag. “Mark Schlabach.”
Severe conditions
Moving Day at the 122nd US Open may look more like Grinding Day to the 64 players who survived the 36-hole cut. As the winds intensify at The Country Club and USGA typically has fun putting pins on the weekends, players are having a hard time so far. According to the USGA, the greens were rolling in the top 12 and were double-cut and rolled on Saturday morning.
With more than half of the field started, only two players who have played at least nine holes – Australian Todd Son and Denny McCarthy – are below par. Several high-ranking players, including Joaquin Niemann, Bryson DeChambo, Tyrell Hatton and Max Homa, are already 5 or worse. “Shlabah.”
Sting
Xander Schaufele is not the only member of his team who will try to fight on Saturday. His father and coach Stefan returned to The Country Club after being stung in the upper lip by a hornet. Probably not the cord he meant in windy conditions. “Shlabah.”
The name game
Reports of the first team at this US Open did not go well. On Friday, Scott Stallings, who grew up in Worcester, was portrayed as “War Chester.” In fact, it is pronounced “Wu-str” and the locals inform the person who said it. Things got worse on Saturday.
Justin Thomas is quite famous. I just won the PGA championship. Fifth place in the world. Just, right? no. He was introduced as Justin Thompson.
Because of accuracy
At the US Open, you choose your seats very carefully. Here’s what players will be watching all day.
