Jason did not play the last two rounds of the latest LIV Tournament in New Jersey due to injury.
He also had not met any of the other USGA exempt qualifications and so he attempted to qualify back on June 5. His score wasn’t good enough to earn a spot.
Andy Pope also missed-by a shot.

I agree I do love the primetime… I just think west coast courses and us open don’t mix but that’s just me. I know I’m prolly in the minority.

I do like that the place is starting to finally dry out and get tougher. The leaderboard is pretty stacked. Should be a fun weekend.

Is that the Blimp making all that background noise overhead? That is annoying as hell! I feel like I live near an airport!

And i think the USGA is going to say "alright, you've all had your fun, now it's time to set this course up in US Open fashion"

Still playing pretty easy this morning. Fairways are way too wide for a us open

Agreed. I like the design of the course but a us open shouldn’t be like this. It’s so wide and so dry that guys are bombing it almost four hundred yards in some cases and not getting penalized. Kind of silly

Yep wonder if they where thinking the runouts would go into the rough. Obviously not happening much right now

Wide fairways for sure....especially the way these guys drive the ball. That being said, we could still be looking at a single digit winner if they tuck the pins today.

They tucked all 18 pins in corners.
