Respectfully disagree. Take them and short them, every time. It should be illegal like insider trading.

It seems he’s been improving steadily over the past few years.  His game looks way better than his results would indicate, with his only win of note being the Arnold Palmer back in ‘20.  Most days he looks good enough to contend/win a major, but then he seems to find a way to fade out of contention in tournaments.  Of all the LIV guys, he’d be the guy that would least surprise me if he won a major in the next year or two.  Maybe if he dropped all the antics, he’d get over the hump.  Who knows.  Maybe throwing clubs and whining all day helps him play better.

If he stopped all his "antics" his game would go to hell.

So whining like a baby is his superpower?

I thought per FIGJAM this guy was the second coming ?

 

 

Phil’s the classic example of someone who excels at one thing and then thinks he’s an expert at everything.  Beyond his play on the course, he’s just another blowhard with a serious gambling addiction.  He’s one of those guys that you want to do exactly the opposite of whatever he says.

Umm..Scottie just turned 29  a couple weeks ago…he just looks old. 😏

Seeing him in that Rolex ad, he even looked old as a little kid.

I can’t get it out of my head how much Haotong Li looks like Beavis.

Livis?

Everybody, who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s in Italy, Germany, Switzerland or Austria, has seen Tyrell Hatton before (PS: I like him). 

 

 

[SnowbirdTom]

Ahhh, settling in with a couple cups of coffee and some sandwich cookies to start the viewing for today.  Li better bring his A+ game today to even sniff Scottie's trail. The rest of the field? Nah.

@kmbean Wait until you see Li Haotong attempt a scottish accent, with a Beavis-esque smirk

(when he spots Lefty Bob in the locker room ... circa timestamp 5:38) ... and Lefty Bob responds with a Butthead-esque "hur-hur" giggle!

A pity Rory wasnt able to squeeze two or three shots less out of his round, like four shots down this morning and it would have seemed feasible. 

[DJDJ]

Sergio breaking the driver with a tantrum….birdies hole lol

[Zjhl2024]

will Li do the Y.E. Yang trick today?

[JD3]

H.T. Li has 1.4 billion people rooting for him today, and the media is barely covering him. 🤔

[MyShortGameSucks]

Really enjoying this Open Championship.  The course is just outstanding and the weather has been relatively consistent for the field.   Can't beat early morning coffee and The Open on TV.
 

I am a massive Rory fan and I am glad he's got his enthusiasm for the game back. Hopeing he can shoot another good round today. Saying that Scotty is so clearly and comfortably  #1 and I expect him to cruise to victory today.  Would not be surprised if he completes the Grand Slam next year at The Us Open. I just hope that get's Rorys back up and pushes him to play even better in 2026.

[kwcsports]

Looking forward to today. I think Scottie probably gets it done. 

[KennyP]

Provided Scottie avoids making a double, or worse, on the front 9 I can't see him not winning.

[MyShortGameSucks]

I know the Ryder Cup is a few months away but as a Euro fan it's good to see that Fitzpatrick and the Hoorgaard twins are playing well.  Rahm and Lowry showing some signs of life as well. Aberg's putting still looks suspect.  We'll need all the Euro stars in top form to have any chance at Bethpage

Check again.

Nicolai or Rasmus?

[MyShortGameSucks]

Have to say Colsarts is a great commentator and adds real insight.  Loves how he is so self deprecating about his own game 🙂

Rasmus is my favourite.  I think he has one of the best looking swings in golf but Nicolai may be a better putter and short game. 

[AintNoHobby]

Shane Lowry is -5 through 13 so there could potentially be a really low score out there.

 

Still have hope for my boy Rory but it's gonna take a special round to beat Scottie from 6 back.

 

Ernie Els overcame that exact deficit in 2012 so it's possible.
