[Other Sport] The Open

[Pevenseagull]

Sky currently getting excited about Woods starting his round in half an hour.



Edit: Turns out there are lots of other golfers playing as well.

 

[HH Brighton]

Jack Floydd from Haywards Heath gold club off at 16.16

 

[KZNSeagull]

Jack Floydd finished on +10. Great effort by the lad from my old club

Rory looking very good, as does Hatton. Just hope none of the Saudi moneygrabbers wins it.

 

[Pevenseagull]

McIlroy

Holy smokes. Holes from a bunker to take the lead.

Good stuff this

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Rory must have a good chance tomorrow now

Got a feeling someone will shoot a 64/65 and nick it

Loved the tee shot of DJ on the 18th,they're only human after all

One birdie on the road hole all day!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Should be a great final round - both Rory and Hovland are playing superbly.

My favourite part of the day came on R5 - in the background you could hear on the first tee "On the tee from the USA, Patrick Reed" followed by just 1 person clapping. Marvellous!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I would like to see Rory win it, but he has made a real habit of screwing up final rounds in recent years.

I really hope it's not that ridiculous haired Australian, at any rate.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Rory played well yesterday, but definitely had the run quite a few times. Smacked the ball all over the fairways, and the commentators said 'He couldn't have placed it any better' with his hand.

Let's see if it continues.

Cricket, golf and later the 'anyone can come bottom Group' football.

Staying out of the sun with load of cold drinks of various descriptions.

Never the same when Tiger isn't in contention.

 

[W3 BHA]

Never the same when Tiger isn't in contention.

No it isn't - you get a much more balanced and interesting coverage when he is (thankfully) not around. Just my opinion though - I understand some people quite like him

Half expecting this evening

'and there is not Tiger Woods picking up the Claret Jug'

 

[Pavilionaire]

I thought Hovland was unlucky yesterday, catching the edge of the cup on 3 or 4 occasions.

St Andrews is such a wonderful course and I'm looking forward to the finale.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Nice birdie for Tommy Fleetwood on the 1st. Worth keeping an eye on.

 

[FamilyGuy]

McIlroy

Holy smokes. Holes from a bunker to take the lead.

Good stuff this

Yeh, but who here hasn't had a sandy eagle or two?

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I'm on Hatton, Fleetwood and Cam Smith, so perm anyone from 3 please for the Claret Jug

 

[Pavilionaire]

Rory spurns a good birdie chance at 12 while Cam Smith has momentum, playing superb golf.

 

[dazzer6666]

This is fascinating……

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

5 birdies on the trot

 

[dazzer6666]

Smith has been sensational on the back 9, incredible golf.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I'm on Hatton, Fleetwood and Cam Smith, so perm anyone from 3 please for the Claret Jug

Two from three come in, happy days
