I really hope Stenson doesn't win this thing - he has the personality of a boulder.

 

I really hope he wins as he has a great personality.

 

He was my dark horse pick to win come on Stenson!

Really? I think he is one of the top personalities out there. Very funny guy.

I'm not sure where he gets Stenson is a rock. Crazy.

He was interviewed on the range on sky sports a few days back - the guy didnt even want to be there. ****** bag.

[SterlingArcher]

Anyone else watching Sky Sports at the moment?

 

The Skycam on the range is on fire?! That's about the only thing they have messed up all week. Their coverage has been superb.

 

Did someone get a picture of this?? I'd imagine this is pretty hard to do in the pouring rain.

Your kidding right? He seems like a real character when he is interviewed.

 

Screw that, Stenson is awesome.

Could Reed dress any worse for a young guy?

[Bob57]

Does anyone think Jordan Speith is developing the full swing yips. Touch the towel multiple times regardless of weather, many practice swings, a few swing path prelim checks, then finally an awful shot usually left. At least Kevin Na after his swing yips usually hit a decent shot when he finally did swing. Jordan's swing always looked odd but now the results match the swing. Hard to understand what has gone wrong.

No, he's just deliberate...(slow). :)

And the "in the hole" virus has sadly spread to Royal Troon...

In other words....the large guy in a medium shirt?

henrik stenson wins

[deasy55]

Whoever had the idea to get Henni Zuel working for Sky Sports this week should get a promotion

[North Texas]

Is it really that hard for the idiots at the Golf Channel/NBC to understand that we want to see golf and not all this other crap? Jeez!

[MattyO1984]

He always wears pretty much the same thing. Black shoes, black trousers, black sleeveless pullover, black hat and then a polo shirt. Jazz it up a little my man!

No! She is awful. I'm glad that she has not really made many appearances on the broadcast. She has popped up a few times on Periscope interviewing the players and she seems to make talking seem difficult.

Wait, you didn't enjoy Jimmy Roberts' essay on the limited accommodations for visitors?

Kind of refreshing to see a young guy dressing old school in a world full of tapered pants and X-small polos. He is not hip but he at least he appears comfortable in his own skin unlike some other young guys who seem desperate to be kewl and fashionable.

[Sumo]

Poulter on outfit number three of the day. he didn't need that many outfits for last years Open.

[Nosebuckle]

Great, now all we're gonna hear is a bunch of Mickelson wanking for the next 2 days.

 

Sounds painful.

So, I guess this "wanking" is a bad thing? :cheesy:

 

Nothing really against Phil, it's just irritating that once he's in contention one could be forgiven for thinking no one else is in the field.

That's unusual. Normally, he's humorous and generous while giving interviews. Guess they approached him at a bad moment. But everyone has their ups and downs. Do you have a link to that interview?

True, but you have yo understand that there are so many 'Go Phil, fan boys' out there that are like excitable children, and with that immaturity comes a naturally irritating nature. Some of us who are a little more mature, although having our favourites for sure, are more able to understand how the Championship itself is what is interesting, no matter who wins. But we have to just put up with these little boys I'm afraid. :taunt:

[Hankshank]

Guess I don't know that much english after all... what's "wanking"?

It's kinda like shanking.

I watch it quite often - 5 or 6 days a week just.

My two favourite players are 1st and 2nd on the leaderboard. Just need Jason Day to shoot a 57 and I'll have all three at the top. :russian_roulette:

Justin Thomas showing how maddening a game golf can be. First 9 yesterday, 31. Today, 40.

 

Yesterday 5 birdies today zero.

 

Yesterday zero bogies today 2 and a double.

[MarkFromTheUK]

Never thought I would see the day when Sir Jason Day played golf with zero confidence.

Thomas made a million miles of putts yesterday, just like Phil.
