I haven’t minded it. I am glad they keep politics out of their broadcasts though... unlike ESPN.
I like Azinger and Faxon better than Faldo and Johnny Miller but Joe Buck should be nowhere near a golf course. He completely ruins it and makes NBC and CBS lightyears better
The USGA doesn't need any protection or excuses from anyone. The golf course may not "be fair" but dammit, show me the rule where it says it needs to be!
The USOpen is draconian in its conditions and course set-up...SURPRISE!! It is the polar opposite of The Masters in that regard. Mikkelson needs to apologize for acting the part of a jerk. Zach probably needs a Dale Carnegie course. At least Tiger has the good sense to walk away. The guys are all playing the same golf course,,,that makes it as fair as it can be.
The players come across as a little soft and whiny here......no Brits or Euros were complaining. Maybe that is why they have schooled the American teams routinely in recent Ryder Cups?

You mean this thread isn't about THIS?
What an embarrassment for Fox Sports, the U.S. Open and United States Golf Association.
Fox Sports is profusely apologizing for inadvertently broadcasting rough sex talk between two U.S. Open fans Friday at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. The offensive chatter was picked up by one of Fox's 200-plus, omnipresent on-course microphones, then mistakenly broadcast to millions of TV viewers watching FS1's coverage of Round 2 of the 2018 U.S. Open.
"Today, during the live FS1 broadcast of the 2018 U.S. Open, one of the many microphones on the course inadvertently picked up some offensive crowd chatter. We sincerely apologize," Fox Sports spokeswoman Anne Pennington said in a statement to Sporting News.
When SN asked Pennington if the offensive audio came from fans on the course or a radio mixup, Pennington confirmed it came from the gallery.
The conversation, involving an unidentified man bragging about how he violently head-butted his "bitch" ex, was captured by Awful Announcing. (WARNING: The link goes to an article containing extremely graphic and NSFW audio.)
Fox's Joe Buck was discussing Masters winner Patrick Reed when Fox's viewers suddenly heard two new voices discussing sex. After they had finished, Buck came back on the air as if nothing had happened.
To cap Fox's freaky Friday, the audio cut out for eight minutes during its afternoon coverage from the historic course in Southampton, N.Y., on Long Island. To his credit, Buck handled the sound snafu with aplomb, noting: "The reviews are in. We've never sounded better."
During its first four years of USGA coverage, Fox has liberally sprinkled on-course microphones around the greens, tee boxes, fairways and galleries to bring viewers the sights and sounds of a U.S. Open.
But Sporting News warned Thursday that some of the gavones in the loud, proud New York crowd would give Fox more audio than it could handle:
"It's hard to blame Fox for spectators running their yaps. That's more of a USGA issue. Most of us have been stuck in crowds with bozos who think they're hilarious, and crowds at major sporting events have become louder, drunker and more in-your-face over the years. Still, the mics picking up these gavones hurt the broadcast. As a viewer, I found it distracting to hear that stuff on nearly every hole, every shot."
