2025 Open Championship in Portrush

[WorkItBothWays]

Unlikely Scottie leaves the door open for anyone but if Li Haotong gets a sniff of chance he will not die wondering as he will go for everything.

Course is gettable today.  Chasers need Scotty to have 2 bad holes and for them to get breaks on misses

i’m calling Rory for the win

[cardoustie]

Phil is 4 under today, don’t think his detractors appreciate his game fully … he’s a senior worldwide and still flies it 315 … just has had 4 or 5 bad holes

Never take Phil’s betting recommendations ever

It was amazing how many Mickelson sycophants jumped onboard with his comment at the time. There seems to be a lot of them fawning over his performance this week.

[aenemated]

I've repeatedly said I still like Phil. Dude's been one of my goflist hereos since the early 90s and I ain't giving up on him.

 

I've forgiven Jack for far worse reasons we can't talk about around here.

Wyndham Clark paired with Brian Harman today .... ummm, no comment 

[mshills]

I have always liked Phil. I simply love watching him play golf. 
 

I can count on one hand the number of guys I actively root against. Overall all I care about is if they are entertaining to watch….Phil has always been that and always will be.

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.

Li has been impressive this tournament. Wasn’t on too many people’s radars coming in, I don’t think, certainly not on mine. 
 

Scottie is making very few mistakes; seems to be his #1 strength. Critical skill on a course like Portrush.

Faldo doesn't have a clue what Scottie was talking about but ridicules him anyway.

So whining like a baby is his superpower?

 

 

 

Yup. I love Hatton. He openly expresses what he's thinking and 10 seconds later he's on to the next shot. I'd rather watch 5 Hatton's than a lot of the stiffs on tour.

I want to hear Faldo's insights, but after McDowell's umpteenth 'Yannnowwww,' and 'Burrrr-tahhhhh,' in his cod James Cagney whyyyy I oughtta  burr, I've had to hit the mute button. 

 

Please keep him away from the Sky coverage next year. It's not in Northern Ireland, so there's no reason he needs to be there for novelty value.

SKY's overhead B roll footage shows the ocean is glass. Very little wind.

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

Ernie wasn’t chasing Tiger though…

Just back from church, settling down with a packet of chocolate mini rolls and a nice cup of tea for an afternoon of Open golf.

A little behind on the DVR, but thanks to NBC and Mike Tirico, I've just learned that Shane Lowry is from Ireland and won this tournament a few years ago.  The more you know...

[TheMoneyShot]

I was hoping for Open conditions this week, lots of wind and a little rain to make it more interesting.  Pretty much perfect conditions out there.

Sky seems to be stuck on a still from a cricket match. lol

please fix it so I don't have to watch nbc.

Just reel off another 61, Rory.

 

As easy as that.

I don't know, the far worse reasons seem to be getting pretty bad if a certain document ever get released...

Is this something only Americans are familiar with?

Only Americans who are mega golf fans that know who endorses who.

Li has to make the putt now 

[braincramp52]

I don't think Scottie has any nerves.
