The Open (Golf)

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

What a letdown Fleetwood was given the decent conditions.

Fleetwood is a little puppy. What a disappointment.

Whata tomorrow's weather forecast ?
 
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.
 
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!

A bit of excitement when Rahm made his move yesterday but I agree today not too exciting. Harman did what he had to do. Very steady.

Agreed, and I will add, I will be more than happy if I never have to watch his 15 minutes of waggling before every shot again.

Tee shot in the fairway on 18. There's no Van deVelde'ing this win away. Cripes, he can go PW, PW, PW and just stroll down the fairway.

And for those who went to the Traveler's or watched it on TV, the soon to be Open champion finished second at River Highlands. You were watching a soon to be major champion compete in Cromwell and didn't even realize it.
 
2 observations:

1). Harmon essentially won this Open on Friday (Day 2) with a dominant round relative to the field to open up a big lead. Then, played good, smart golf over the weekend to coast to a win.

2). Hard to believe that Rory has gone through his Prime 10 years (ages 25 to 34) with ZERO Majors. And, he's been injury free and with a good swing during the past 10 years. I think that speaks to both the high level of competition and a short game that won't allow him to close big tournaments. I think he'll win a few more Majors, but you never know. At some point, injuries and swing changes will be inevitable as he moves into his late 30s (especially with such a powerful swing torque - he's only 5'9" but one of the biggest hitters on Tour).
 
How bad is the weather in Hoylake?????? His wife is hanging out in Syracuse, NY instead of taking a trip across the pond and seeing the win in person.

Most of us wouldn’t spend more than a day there. Too bad for the lost opportunity.
