OT: British Open

This will be a fun weekend, bunch of players in the mix. My gutt keeps saying Fleetwood is overdue.
 
I’ve been watching the coverage on the British channel Sky Sports. So much better than what we get here. They show so many more shots and keep the stupid fluff to a minimum. Don’t feel the need to mention sponsors every few minutes either.
 
Screw this Harding guy. Long putters are for sissies.

British sports TV is so much better.

Koepka cannot putt today. If putter was on, he's probably tied for lead. Missed a bunch of makeable ones.

My boy Lee just hit into a bush... gonna be a tough par save. Should've walked away on the tee box when the crowd roared for someone else as he was just about to takeaway. Looked like he flinched a wee bit.

He's been unconscious since the 3rd hole. Even the couple of bad shots he had turned out to be decent lies he could work with... and that lucky bounce he had on 10 from the long stuff... everything going for him.

If he can manage a 66 in whatever crap weather is headed in tomorrow, he'll have the record for lowest score relative to par in a major at -21.

Heard on the tele Fleetwood shot a bogey-free -4 today and list four shots to Lowry.

Lowry was, as the French would say, en Fuego.
 
Lowry was unreal today. Obviously his to lose tomorrow - but he's done that before. Still like his chances particularly with the home field advantage.

Lowry has been great but they call him Flushwood for a reason. Worse the weather gets, the better good iron players look.
 
Weather is reasonable so far but no one making an early charge.

Gotta love waking up on a Sunday morning and having the final round under way.

If weather holds up I can catch the final round in TV and bust out a round myself and still be home by 5pm.

Color me envious. It's killing me watching this. Been dealing with some major stenosis issues past 5 weeks which has pretty much laid me up from any activity, including my job. But in early June I played my first round of year and was hitting it better than I have in 3-4 years, partly I think due to losing 25 lbs - weight that I believe turned my usual fade into a duck hook due to change in rotation plane. Hoping to get back on a course before leaves come down.

Fowler's round is over before he's even hit one in bounds.
 
Ricky Flowler gets a bad break on hole one because a marshall is not paying attention to the golfers teeing off. It drives me nuts to see that happen.

Justin Thomas brought both his A game and his pants game.

Yeah me too on the marshalls it amazes me how clueless they are.

But Ricky just continues to gag.
 
Rickie is a choker. Chokers choke. (Just as I write this post, he finds a bunker on 8.)

If Lowry plays par golf from here on out, he wins this by 5. Everyone else but Westwood is tripping over themselves to see how many bogeys they can card.

Tommy can’t putt, Koepka and Holmes played themselves out after 4 holes and Westwood needs a miracle.

Barring a monsoon this will probably be anti-climactic.
