2025 Open Championship in Portrush

Boycotting this thread until notables are listed.  My life lacks direction as is.  I can't stand to flounder about any longer.

Ah, even without MattyO’s leadership things are back to near normal with a BSC food post!

 

All remains right with the world!

There's a thunderstorm alert for tomorrow by the UK's Met Office, but hopefully won't come to anything.

I am well aware the norm here is to exclaim how much one dislikes things. Whether it’s the likes of Morgan, Rich or Colt. Wyndham, Xander & JJ’s hats… 

Just wanted to jump in and say that I really like Paul’s outfit today.

Agree, this can't be "the" thread, can it??

I would hate to be one of the 280000 fans there this week, it will be horrendous trying to get a good view of play unless you bag a seat in a grandstand and stay there all day or follow a back end group. Even worse if you are too short to see above folk standing in front of you!

 

Different strokes I guess. I couldn't be more excited to be here, seeing this amazing course in one of the most interesting, politically complex areas of the world. This is a dream trip and sharing it with 280k others is just fine with me!

So no US TV coverage Thursday or Friday unless you have Peacock??

 

Hard pass for me.

You might try the R&A streaming app, although I can’t say if it will work tomorrow. Worth a shot.

I’ve gotten over it. 

[andrelo]

excited to watch this year! Would be lying if I said I wouldn't want to see Lowry win it again at Portrush. 

[00steven]

Pick to win is Tyrell Hatton.

Maybe too few watchers on a workday especially with the time difference.   But,  really peacock is cheap and easily activated and deactivated.

No. USA Network is carrying it.

Are the bleeps in this R&A "Inside the Open" video

(eg Justin Rose at circa 2min timestamp ;  Shane Lowry at 3:40 timestamp)

= to mask profanity, or simply an audio/video editor's quirk?

 

 

[Justsomeguy]

Why does this seem like an enormous field? Same size as US Open?

I've got Nico for a top 40 at basically 2:1, I think it's sharp money.

Would love to see Hatton win it.

Rory and Scheff will linger, both make cut, both go deep, but I hope neither wins.

Let's see if Rahm has what it takes to contend.

Lowry will start hot and then fade. Sucks bc he's a cool player, but he just breaks his own heart over and over, and even if he had a 6 stroke lead going into Saturday I'd bet against him.

[bscinstnct]

2:16am EST

 

 

 

 

When will the first complaint on wrx be made about the coverage, course, etc 

 

🤣 🍻

Well, you have 20 of the Saudi guys in the field. Bet most top 10 it.

Rickie should have pulled an iron and  smashed the lockers 🤣

@MattyO1984 should be the only one who creates these threads. He does a great job and the rest of them just aren't up to that standard

[tiderider]

if you've nothing to do tonight ... I got into this podcast 6 months ago and listened to their series on Irish independenc/civil war on a trip with my cousin up to Canada to see the Red Clay Strays last week in London ... there are six more episodes ... four for independence, three for the civil war ... crack on! ...

Okay, I went back to golf.com where I got my original info from, and it was indeed listed.  Either they changed their page from when I originally looked at it, or I just misread it, although I was trying to be careful about what I read before I posted here.

 

In any case, yay!  and thanks.

Nice breeze in to and off the right on the first. I'm revising my OOB prediction up to 13.

[KennyP]

Padraig barely reaches the fairway. Very safe.
