The 2016 Open Championship Discussion Thread

Wonder who the featured group is on the web coverage....

I think the sloppy bogey Stenson made on hole #1 just fired him up, and let him know that he wasn't going to win this thing by "playing to not lose"; i.e., "prevent defense".

I want to see some scrambling pars from east ethiopia

[mackepa]

snooze fest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW that's sarcasm

[nicoy3k]

As well as stenson is playing Phil could have shot a 29 on the front if that chip doesn't lip out and he makes those shorty birdie attempts

[jonsnow]

How old is Stenson's 3 wood?

[deasy55]

The highlights show is going to be 4 hours long

[Pigems]

Sweet playing - match play at its best! I bet these guys are really enjoying this.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing, this must be one of the most enjoyable rounds of their careers you'd have to think.

It really is. Too many good shots. Need a shank to slip in there.

Me at work right now.

Looked like an FT iz model maybe? I wanna say the shaft looks like a YS-7. Funny how they're trying to hide it under an XR headcover.

[Jasonic]

Phil didn't use the claw grip on that birdie putt. Hmmm

 

Very interesting. I didn't notice that. Mid round change during a match like this is so Phil. Ha

[defsoad]

Can anyone think of a time since 77 that a major came down to the last two guys all day long like this?

monty and tiger in 06 at Hoylake, but Tiger ran away in the end.

 

Sorry, should've added where both dudes played great all day instead of one fading away like Monty in 06. I really can't think of an example since 77.

 

Tiger and DiMarco at the 2005 Masters? Tiger won in a playoff, with 3rd being 7 shots back.

Diablo 3 wood. Graffaloy Blue 80x shaft

[Rangeballz]

Except for the first, neither guy has come close to a bogey. Not so much as a scrambling par.

 

I bet Mike Davis is fit to be tied right now...

Diablo with a graf blue i think.

[dlygrisse]

If I hear Dan hicks tell me one more time that pro tracer is brought to us by Scottrade, I'm going to lose my s***...

 

At least they stopped running those don't be a golf dinosaur ads from golf now. I swear I wanted to go full Rory on my tv when those were on.

Truth. I still hate those. Worst commercials ever.

 

Ever!

 

I mean they had to damage thier business more than help it.

[BrickDaFunk]

Stenson's bag reminds me that I need to go to Ikea and get a dresser for my son...

 

Damn, these guys are good...

Diablo 3 wood. Graffaloy Blue 80x shaft

 

I think it's the Diablo octane.

 

No clue what year those hit. 6 years ago?

[Christen_The_Sloop]

OMG Stenson is Spieth slow...

 

Thanks for that bit of analysis.

[defsoad]

This is just awesome from Stenson and Mickelson. Hope both guys keep it up the rest of the way.

[deasy55]

Amazing to think these guys are -17/16 when there's only 16 players under par

It's been a Diablo Octane Tour for literally 7 years.

Amazing how often he hits it & how much confidence he has in it, but doesn't shy away from hitting driver when he needs to.

[Pent08]

Unlucky bounce for Phil, he loved that shot.

[SoCalTitleist]

Pured it

[lsf_21]

Golf is awesome. Commentary leaves a lot to be desired.

[nicoy3k]

Phil bad break

[legitimategolf]

Old guys FTW.
