146th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale

[bscinstnct]

A fabulous shot into the 11th green, pin high, leaves Rors his first real look at a birdie. And he slams it straight in the middle of the cup! Three good shots there for the Northern Irishman and each cheered jubilantly by the partisan Birkdale crowd.

Off the Rory topic, but I thought the bunkering on these old links courses was based on sheep sheltering from the wind. Animals do not shelter in a donut pattern. Dumbest bunker ever seen. I am enjoying seeing well struck balls holding on the greens, so that kind of makes up for the stupid bunker.

 

aww bless!

That Xander Schaffawfullolly guy keeps popping up on leader boards.

God, golf is so strange. Rory hacking around like mid-handicapper today is surreal.

 

been going on for a month or more

Surprise, surprise Brandel is having a dig at Rory! The guy could never do what McIlroy can do on a golf course and comes up with tweets like this?!

More actually...he's been hurt, the equipment, getting married, being married, etc...

I'm sure brandel is paid handsomely to play the villain.

Bones isn't too bad, considering it's his first day.

has to be, and also must thoroughly enjoy being a wanker.

[bscinstnct]

Yeah, Hoff, yeah!

 

Win the Open then

 

High tea with Wills n Kate

Charlie Hoffman trying to cement his status as one of the all time best major Thursday players in history!

...all that 'murica at the top of the scoreboard?

I love the shameless Cure plug.

He'd have Jack's record beat if they were all one day tournaments!

[dlygrisse]

Well, Brandel is right, and it's obvious Rory is not focused on golf at the moment. That happens after some early success, Jack and all the greats had their ups and downs. The question is will he refocus in a year or two or is he essentially done as a top tier player?

[dlygrisse]

Lot's of Englishmen lurking as well. Casey, Poulter, Bland, Beef, etc. etc.

shhh... we don't talk about them lol

 

only real time i care about poulter is during ryder cup - and casey has the most realistic chance out of the english bunch. he's playing some great golf the last few weeks/months.

I don't think the marriage or the clubs has as much to do with it...sorry Brandel. The ankle and the rib is more of an area to point at...but dic*ish to sit on your butt and criticize for a living.

Many golfers have become hurt after marriage.

LOL, could you be more hypocritical?

 

1. it's his job

2. it's not your job, yet you feel the need to criticize him

3. why do you feel the need to defend Rory?

4. Brandel knows way more about what it takes to play tournament golf than anyone on this board. That I know of.

[cardoustie]

let's go BEEF !! That would be something meaty

 

Pass the horseradish and a cold one to the corner table lads

I hurt my back on my honeymoon.

 

Told my fil and he almost smacked me ; )

[cardoustie]

Brandel is 100% paid to stir the pot. Still better than Nantz by a mile ("hello friends, let's have an awkward pause while I kiss some arse all around this place)

Throw some salt and pepper on there and you won't have bland beef.

McIlroy climbing. At +2 he has not shot himself out of it yet.

LOL, troll much? I did not criticize him...dic*ish can be endearing. I'm not defending anyone...I stated a fact the ankle can lead to other things. If he knows so much about tourney golf then he should stick to talking about that...not childish twitter babble.

[cvvorst]

What's with the 2 stroke penalty Rahm had to take there?

[tsecor]

Now a trend with Rahm?

[cardoza]

Nice comeback from Rors today.
