U.S Open Round 1 Live Blog!

Hello friends, and welcome to U.S Open week! This is my first attempt at a live blog, so for those of you stuck inside on this beautiful day (and those of you who are VERY unlucky to have a web browser blocked or the like, hopefully this will be your source for everything U.S Open through the first round). Will begin to blog starting at 11am EST, and I am very intrigued at how Fox will do in their coverage of this event.

The Track:
Erin Hills, WI. It's weird, it's given people problems, there's a lot of grass, and it's HUGE (Over 7700 yards spread through 600 acres, yikes).

My Picks:
You'll thank me later.

Anyone who wants to follow this tournament, I recommend reading this first on the world number 1. The man has been through quite the journey, and he's just getting started...http://www.espn.com/golf/usopen17/story/_/id/19626150/golf-improbable-rise-dustin-johnson-world-no-1-defending-us-open-champion-erin-hills

7:45am: The boys are off.

8:23am: Phil's out, Roberto Diaz in. Bummer, but good for Diaz.

8:32am: Davis Love IV is currently leading...could you imagine? Also, Fox featured group on practice green. Rickie looking extra fly, and why wouldn't he when he's got a girl who looks like this.

8:36am: Well, I guess Phil never stood a chance. Congrats to Pacific Ridge school in Carlsbad, you've got your mans.

8:45am: My good friend Rickie, Rahm and Hideki about to tee off. 

8:52am: First live shot of Fox ball tracking technology...

**Dear God this looks brutal.......

** Quick look at Justin Thomas' fitness tracker during his practice round yesterday...Yes, it's long. 

9:02am: Top of the hour front page leaderboard update.

9:07am: Did they just say its a half mile walk between 10 and 11.......Please tell me that's an exaggeration. Pars for Rickie and Hideki, +1 for Rahmbo. Not a smooth start for my DraftKings crew.


9:23am: Rickie birdies, Hideki pars, Rahmbo bogey. Again. Not a smooth start for my DraftKings crew. This could get old quick...

10:34am: Aaaaaand after a quick bike ride I'm back. Rickie -3 thru 6, daddy likes. Your updated front page leaderboard...

11:44am: THIS GUY IS -2 LET'S GO! (How can you not cheer for good ole Ernest...)

11:45am: MEANWHILE, CUE THE MUSIC!

12:07pm: Let's see who's fastest to report the scores...

1:58pm: Patiently awaiting this man...
