Live From the U.S. Open – 10 p.m.-Midnight ET
Golf Channel
On Tiger Woods’ Second Round 70, tied for the lead after two rounds at -1
“He has gone from automatic, to enigmatic. But, like 2000, like 2002, when Tiger Woods had a share of the lead, people are looking at him as the de facto leader…He is the only guy in the field with 14 major championships to his credit and you have got to think, coming down the stretch on Sunday that matters more than anything else.” – Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee
“He is in a situation now that he is more familiar with. For him, his whole career has been about being in contention. He got himself into contention. And the adrenaline can start to take over. The event is far from over, believe me, but the thing is we are seeing a Tiger Woods that is fully competitive.” – Golf Channel analyst Frank Nobilo
“If Tiger Woods plays well, forget it, its over.” – Golf Channel analyst David Feherty
On Jim Furyk and David Toms tied for the lead at -1
“The U.S. Open is all about eliminating mistakes. Jim Furyk has done that and so has David Toms.” – Brandel Chamblee
“If you look at both of these players, Jim Furyk and David Toms, what they have in common is tremendous intellect.” – Golf Channel analyst David Feherty
On Beau Hossler, low amateur at +3
“I doubt we’ll ever see another 17-year-old with past experience here in a U.S. Open.” – Brandel Chamblee
On the field
“Everybody has a chance this weekend. Major championships have been won from nine shots back, that’s for sure.” – David Feherty
“I hate to agree with Feherty, because he is so off the wall, but in this case, I have to agree with him.” – Golf Channel insider Tim Rosaforte
On Graeme McDowell (+1 after two rounds)
“Graeme McDowell, a 2010 champion, could be the spoiler that this golf course has had in its four previous U.S. Opens.” – Brandel Chamblee
On Sergio Garcia Striking the Microphone on the tee
“Not only is there is no need for that, there is no real place in the game of golf for that. You’d like to think that on reflection that Sergio Garcia would come to that view…I think Sergio is due an apology for this one.” – Golf Channel contributor and former European Tour executive director Ken Schofield
