The Open (Golf)

[storrsroars]

I haven’t been able to watch much but I saw Scottie miss a couple of shortish putts yesterday. Has his putter imploded again?

I couldn't watch a ton of it because of a bad feed, but apparently Scottie only hit 10 of 18 greens in regulation, so don't think it was his putter.

Scottie hit the face of the bunker on 18 needing to get up and down to make the cut. It spun forward off the face as it hit above the bunker and ran towards the pin almost going in. tap in bird playing the weekend. He acknowledged the luck in a funny way good for him.

The Open is my favorite event of the year. Scottish would be too if they played it at a real links course and not Renaissance.

Harman is 100% putting from inside 10 feet, which isn't sustainable. He'd be a worthy champ in my eyes but I am hoping for some drama over the weekend

Here's to some regression to the mean.

If he comes back to the pack tomorrow will be a great finish. If he plays 1/2 as well as he has already, no one is catching him

Trevino's nickname for Brian has been.. Brian "One-Putt" Harman.. See if he keeps it rollin' this weekend with the weather and the pressure heading towards the back nine on Sunday..

Rahmbo went out and showed what can be done.

Rory could have been 4 under through 4.

If weather doesn't get worse throughout the day, leaders will have to shoot 66-68 to hold their position.

I think Day makes a run today.

 

[NJHusky]

Opening bogey by Harman…game on

 

[Waquoit]

I'm sure they are all thrilled to see Jon Rahm up there now.

 

[Waquoit]

Looking like a non Woo-Hoo! day.

Rory still has his putting problems. Harmon settling down after a tough start. And Fleetwood experiencing some frustration...Young and Day in the hunt!

Gonna be a great final round tomorrow!

One of the announcers has said whiskey stuff a few times. Is he referring to the rough?

The course is defenseless today without wind. Harmon could be tough to catch with a 5 or so stroke lead if it plays like this tomorrow.

wispy

thanks, I had bourbon on my mind.

 

[storrsroars]

Gonna need a hurricane tomorrow to make the final round interesting.

What a letdown Fleetwood was given the decent conditions.

 

[LIuconn]

Fleetwood is a little puppy. What a disappointment.

Whata tomorrow's weather forecast ?

 

[Chin Diesel]

As a lefty I'd love to see Harmon win. Also, he has to think his way through a course and not overpower it and he has all the shots arounf the green.

I rooted on Mike Weir when he won the Masters back in '03, but for whatever reason, Harman just doesn't resonate with me the way Weir did. He just doesn't seem as nice as a Canadian, lol.

 

[mauconnfan]

Give Harman a ton of credit. Ballsy to fall to -8 and climb up to -12. Hope he hangs on but wouldn’t mind seeing Cam Young grab a W. Nice round to get to -7 but he could’ve gone lower even if he made a couple other putts.

Still could be an interesting Sunday!

 

[mauconnfan]

The weather is dreadful on Sunday in Liverpool. It’s going to be very interesting for sure, buckle up!

 

[storrsroars]

Rory breaking out the 2-iron.

 

[mauconnfan]

Bang-bang again for Harman after dropping to -10. Tough little bastard!

 

[storrsroars]

He's been the poster boy for "Drive for show, putt for dough" all week. He's still getting his to drop while Sepp, Rory and Rahm have all had putts that needed just one more revolution.

Bang-bang again for Harman after dropping to -10. Tough little bastard!

And he is a little dude compared to the rest. I too am 5’7” so I always root for the little guys.
