Adam Scott is hoping the weather forecast proves spot on so he can adopt a more aggressive approach than many of his US Open rivals. Rain is predicted for Thursdays first round at Oakmont, where tournament officials felt moved to cut the rough after conceding that it was too penal when combined with legendarily fast greens.Such conditions have prompted the likes of Jason Day and Rory McIlroy to plot a somewhat conservative game plan, but Scott is hoping the rain will help him challenge for a second major title. Ways to watch How to follow the US Open this week I was here a week and a half ago and it was playing nice and firm, Scott said on Wednesday. It rained a lot that night and I played the next day with Rory, and both of us probably made five or six birdies each that day, playing really nicely. The fairways become slightly wider because a ball down the edge of the fairway doesnt run out into the rough. Even though it may play longer, I think it will play much easier if it rains. Adam Scott of Australia watches his tee shot on the third hole during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational I think youve got to challenge this golf course. You look at the field, you look at the quality of players and how well a lot of the top players are playing and its going to be a very, very difficult golf course to lay back and execute perfectly all week.That doesnt necessarily mean attack. Youve got to be a little bit smart, of course, but I think my plan certainly is to challenge this golf course this week.Dustin Johnson is another late starter during the opening round, featuring in a threeball with Hideki Matsuyama and Sergio Garcia. Johnson has been at Oakmont all week Johnson famously three-putted the 18th at Chambers Bay last year to narrowly miss out on US Open victory, but comes into the event in good form on the back of consecutive top-five finishes at the Memorial and the St. Jude Classic.The American has also practiced at Oakmont ahead of the second major of the year, but hopes the weather doesnt alter the course condition.I played last Tuesday and it had rained pretty good Monday night, so Ive played when it was soft, Johnson told a pre-tournament press conference on Wednesday. I hit a couple more drivers than I would if the conditions play like this the rest of the week. Johnson already has seven top-10s in 2016 With softer fairways, the fairways get a little bit wider, and you can be a little more aggressive. I did get to play it when it was soft, so I do have an idea of how it plays if it does rain and its soft on Thursday.The conditions right now though I think are really great so hopefully, if it does rain, it doesnt rain much.Watch the US Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

Tomorrow, for fun Im going to begin our tour team profiles. Youll get to know each crew member, and what they do from morning till night … Their gig is not an easy job and I think giving you the opportunity to see what their day is like will be quite interesting and informative. Check back tomorrow for more updates, and Ill let you know how tonights show went. L.A.M.F. JB Wednesday, November 19 What an outstanding show in Quebec city last night! The band has hit Midshore stride only shows in… Feeling invincible! Always nice to catch up with old friends, and hey, whenever you have the opportunity to have laundry on the road by the singer himself, you just cant pass that up - Thanks JM! We left at 2am after the gig and our outstanding lead to bus driver Randy tracked through 1070 KMs in record time. So yesterday, I promised to spice this diary thing up a little bit by doing profiles on members of the team that you normally dont get to know very well … The first member up to bat is James Welsh. On this run James is taking care of all drums and percussion and all bass and keyboards for both Stuart and I. Born: December 25, 1980 Age: 33 Occupation: Backline technician Question: So what got you interested in working with bands on the road? Answer: I was always working on guitars and other instruments at home and I always love traveling on my own time so its cited to do both at the same time. Question: How long of you been doing this as a career? Answer: Overall Ive been at this for 15 years but professionally over the last six years solid. Question: What is the most interesting thing that is ever happened to you while touring on the road, and with what band was it? Answer: Probably the most interesting thing Ive ever gotten to do touring was go to Afghanistan with the band Default. We did a show for the troops and spent a week on the base, got to travel around and meet all the different soldiers and see what they do day to day and what they were doing over there. Well, there you have it crew profile No. 1 done. James was a splendid candidate - tomorrow you get to meet none other than Bruce Nicol, the infamous guitar tech extraordinaire. Well, we just arrived in Halifax and its time for me to go run off the beers I drank last night.dddddddddddd Catch you tomorrow ... L.A.M.F. JB Thursday, November 20 Just playing a little catch up here … Last night I was fortunate enough to go see Sarah McLachlan for the second time in a few weeks… Our good friend Brent Clark is her lighting designer and has done work with The Tea Party many times in the past. Having friends in the industry has a lot of perks and this is definitely one of them … The lighting show was truly outstanding and I have always been such a huge fan of Sarahs, that its a pleasure to see her working with full band, acoustically or at a production like this in her hometown of Halifax. This morning was a bit of a run around as the band had both television for the Maritimes and Q104 rock radio as well … Im on the bus right now warming up for our show at the Olympic Hall. Some pretty cool staging although, its not tall enough to support our amazing album artwork backdrop … Pretty geeked about doing another show in Halifax I must say. Something pretty cool happened today also while we were shopping at a music store across the street from the venue. A young guy, a drummer, was trying to buy some sticks but didnt have enough money, so I asked him what weight and model he used and it was very similar to mine. I told him to put his money away, and followed me to the venue. I gave him three pairs of sticks and put him on the guest list, because it really sucks when youre young musician and you can afford the tools you need to make your art, and then when you finally do make it everything seems to come for free or at a discounted price … It was a nice feeling to say the least. I was going to profile Bruce, the guitar tech today but he works so hard that hes had to crash before the show and grab a well-deserved nap. Come to think of it, I think Ill spread these profiles out a little bit more anyway so I dont inundate you with nothing but crew profiles over the next few days … We have three weeks more after all! Ill check in tomorrow once we are in Moncton for the casino show… Ill let you know how tonight show goes but I can guarantee you already its going to be outstanding! ;) Follow me on Twitter here: @burrowsdrums L.A.M.F.
