US Open Social Spotlight: Kevin Na isn’t happy with the USGA
Kevin Na isn’t happy with the Erin Hills setup. Here is his unintentionally hilarious clip he shared on Instagram…
First of all, Kevin, NEWSFLASH: Don’t go in the rough at a US Open.
And two HOT takes:
1. Is that the quickest Na has ever hit a ball?
2. Odds on Na breaking his own record for the highest score on a single hole?
Meanwhile, Lee Westwood seemed to enjoy the long grass…
Someone has even set up a Twitter account for Erin Hills’ fescue grass. And it’s got sass…
Thanks for all the DMs tweets texts about Na abuse. I've reported it to twitter and hopefully they do something about it.

Many ways to warm up as a golfer. You can stretch, meditate, exercise or just FaceTime a puppy. pic.twitter.com/IaIqE47nHJ

I think my record at the U.S. Open shows that I need to change my strategy!

As Alan Partridge would say: “It’s great banter, it really is.”
Staying with gear, err, stuff, guess who is joining Dustin Johnson and Jason Day switching to the new TaylorMade Spider putter this week?

NCG’s equipment editor James Savage has more on that…
And finally, when Twitter’s self-imposed Official World Golf Rankings guru pointed out that Chris Wood had just scraped qualification for the second major of the year, Wood retorted…
Good job I've just landed ! https://t.co/2DgLFW2ekC
