There are a lot of ways to describe the fourth and final lane pattern for the 2025 U.S. Open, with many that I saw being less than complimentary.
I saw a couple of posts by tournament competitors that later disappeared, and from what I heard that came after USBC put out the word that it wouldn’t tolerate negative posts on the patterns, USBC lane pattern designer Nick Hoagland, etc. (PBA also has such a rule, but this is a USBC tournament.)
If you want to read a ton of comments by people...
