The 2016 Open Championship Discussion Thread

[DBill]

Pulling for Rickie, but keep an eye out for Shane Lowry, I think he has a good week.

[MarkFromTheUK]

Only one winner this week...

 

GO PHIL!!!

[Roadking2003]

Stenson gets hot and wins it.

 

Stenson is done. Stick a fork in him.

[KrazyTrain18]

Thankfully have the day off tomorrow, let it begin.

I would love to see Sergio win! I think dj is the obvious pick though he's been playing great and he is a low ball hitter

 

Dustin isn't a low ball hitter.

 

And yet in the past six years he has had a T14, T2, T9 and T12.

Anyone who can elevate a 6 iron and drop it like a 60* wedge doesn't hit it very low :)

 

You realize all golf balls apex at the same height right. 3 wood and wedges should be a little lower and hybrid will be little higher

 

No, I don't. Because they don't.

[Roadking2003]

I will love to see anyone other than the zika cowards win. Actually if there is any Karma they will never win another major. And people may laugh but stranger things have happened.

 

I've never even heard of a "zika coward". Is Tiger a "zika coward" ?

[Roadking2003]

Do you think anyone will pull out of the tourney in light of the tainted haggis scare?

 

I love Haggis. And have never been scared of haggis.

Hmmm, never had taint with my haggis before.

 

Taint is wonderful with or without haggis.

So which is better chitlins or haggis?

[moonshine]

You don't have to be a low ball hitter to learn that shot....some of you need to watch/play a little more golf.

[Roadking2003]

 

As I said, all golf balls DO NOT apex at the same height right

 

So which is better chitlins or haggis?

 

Haggis

[PGArox]

Only one winner this week...

 

GO PHIL!!!

 

Indeed. :)

 

As much as I love Phil, and would certainly be excited if he contends over the weekend, I just don't expect it these days. I wish him all the best.

 

I'd really love to see Jordan, Jason and Rory wage an epic battle on Sunday, and perhaps throw in Bubba and Rickie. That would be sweet. I also hope Adam Scott and Justin Rose play well.

[Motley]

Kinda funny how the Morning Drive is on right now at night.

 

Also laughing right now on the Feherty bit on the blood sausage at the dinner table. People actually eat that stuff? Wow it looks so nasty.

[beluga99]

After watching the Duff on that EweToob clip I would love to see his stubby digits wrapped around the Claret Jug on Sunday evening. Go Duffburger!

Duff said he want all his shots to apex at the same height. Trackman will show you that all your shots should apex at the same height to optimize control and distance

Fox Sports Asia has coverage from 1:30PM to 3AM..Thursday and Friday

That should be enough...

[deasy55]

Here we go...Monty heading to the first to set us off

[legitimategolf]

Johnny's back!

[PGArox]

And we're off!

 

With no wind and softened greens which are quite slow, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the first 62 in major championship history.

[Rangeballz]

Nice to hear Mike T's voice at the Open. Welcome to NBC..

[i*windows]

And we're off!

yep agree with this, I think today is the day to get a great score, rest of the weekend looks much more difficult, with stronger winds and patches of rain.

[deasy55]

Ian Poulter looking dapper working with Sky Sports for the week.

[pbfoot]

Is it just me or does the picture on Golf Channel have a lot of noise? Seems very grainy.

Looks fantastic in my house.

[thegrayman]

Mrs. Doubtfire goes down!

[Rangeballz]

I miss Ivor Robson.

 

Monty butchering #1.

[av1084]

Monty already in trouble...

[i*windows]

[tnord]

glad i was able to stay awake for the first shot...didn't really want to see that happen to monty though.
