A player that makes one shot on the 72 hole has played 71 holes before that.

If two players are tied after 72 holes, they worked hard to get there. I don't see it right that one of them should lose based on one hole.

But back to the original subject matter. Forty -two players under par after 54 holes. The most ever for a US Open. The lowest score ever shot in a UIS Open. A lot of no names in the mix. The USGA blew it with Erin Hills.

I hope they get back to traditional US Open courses and conditions in the future.
