Kudos to Kaymer, that is a very difficult course and to shoot back to back 65 rounds is unbelievable.

Very, very impressive. If he doesn't pull a Greg Norman, he will be very hard to beat, even with 2 days

The pressure does not start until the weekend. We will see if Kaymer is a man or a mouse. I hope it is not a run away win. They are not fun for us watching on TV. I do not think it will be. I like the Speith kid. He looks like the "real deal" to me.

Unfortunately Phil is done. I wonder if he will ever be in contention on a Sunday in a major again.

Spieth wilted at the end today, but he has immense talent and I wouldn't count him out. I agree with you that it will be boring golf if someone doesn't give Kaymer a challenge. I don't think anyone can play to the level Kaymer has played the last 2 days to catch him. He will have to come back to the field somewhat.

I think Spieth, Snedeker, Kuchar, Scott, McIlroy, Na, Bradley and Henson can give him a run for his money, should he stumble over the weekend.

It is definitley Kaymer's tournament to lose now. If he can shoot even par the next two days he will probably win it.

Does anyone for see a meltdown at this point. I hope he doesn't start playing to not to lose. Play just as he has been. Best of the best to Kaymer. RTR!

I kept thinking Kaymer was going to fall back to the pack but he made clutch putt after putt. He was +2 on the day but he still leads by 5. It is his tournament to win. Unless he falls apart tomorrow he will win this Open easily.

I am disappointed with Pinehurst #2. It is too dry and not enough trouble for a US Open course. I expect tight fairways and deep rough at the US Open. This looks more like a British Open course. Only Kaymer is tearing it up but I do not like the US Open set up this year. Too many players are hitting great shots after bad drives. This is not what I am use to from US Open courses.

It's different, for sure. The greens seem to be what is the most difficult part of play. Many of them are humpback, and if the shot is not perfect, it will roll off the front or back of the green. I, too would rather see club choking rough than the stuff they have there now. It isn't nearly penal enough.

I don't see Kaymer choking. I think he wins it easily today, as long as he doesn't get too conservative. (Playing not to lose rather than playing to win).

I agree 2, I just don't see many that will shoot under par today to make a run at him. I agree with the condition of the course also.

This young man needs to play to have fun not to try to keep from losing. Agreed? RTR!

Kaymer laps the field and wins by 8 strokes. Did I hear the announcers right that Eric Compton, who finished tied for 2nd with Ricky Fowler, has had 2 heart transplants? 

[Jamos]

Yes 2, that is correct and it is one of the most unbelievable stories I have ever heard.They showed some clips from earlier interviews with him today and his outlook on life is amazing. I will always have to pull for him in a tournament.

Compton's story is amazing. He had his first transplant at age 12. He had his second in 2008. He played college coach at Georgia. That was only his second major. He had to qualify to make the field. I had never heard of him before but I will pull for him in the future.

In 2008 he drove himself to the hospital when his first new heart gave out. He made it to the hospital and collapsed.

Absolutely an amazing story. He has another fan in me, as well.
