146th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale

[Fade to Black]

Nice round by Spieth, especially considering the following:

 

FIR 36%

GIR 47%

People can say that Spieth is lucky if they want to, but you don't get "lucky" enough to win without being incredibly skilled and dedicated to getting better. He puts himself in a position to take advantage of this so called luck. But that luck doesn't sink putts. Everyone gets lucky at times, but you still have to score when you get that lucky bounce /break.

Stop making sense please.

Rough day for Schwartzel. From being in contention to dancing with cut line.

Unlucky missing that 3 footer for bogey...

I'll always support Am's in big events, but this Plant kid looks ridiculous in that wide-brim flat bill cap.

[tiderider]

quick stroke ... seen that 10000000000000000 times from that distance ...

[ex0dus]

I knew the luck comments were coming. Predictable as the sunrise.

[ebrasmus21]

Can Rickie fight his way to a Top 5 finish: yes or no?

[tsecor]

Spieth comes across as the luckiest golfer right now. So many bunkers and all of them decent lies and able to go at the hole, even lay ups in the right direction. That eagle was a horrible ball that just got lucky. Just my opinion and not saying he's not a great golfer but has a lot of things go his way on the course

He isn't a great golfer??? LOL.....

Spieth always seems like he's right on the edge of caving in.

[moonshine]

Hopefully Stricker and Els have great weekend...anyone notice O'Hair wearing Titleist hat after all these years with TMade?

[Protokletos]

Why does Spieth use a graphite shaft on his 3i? Just noticed it on the slo-mo swing.

He's a great for sure. On form I think he, and Rory are without doubt the best. Just wish they would peak together and go head to head together more regularly. I personally see DJ, Day et al slightly lesser golfers. Brilliant without doubt but something they just don't posses that these two do. An X factor type thing

who doesn't use a graphite?

Very similar to Rory;

GIR 50%

 

And Poulter: 36% FIR.

Where did you get that from? Maybe reread what I wrote and rethink what you said

who doesn't use a graphite?

Honestly, didn't know many pros did this--but after doing some more reading in the last few minutes I'm realizing that I'm just behind the times a bit. Typical for these guys to use graphite throughout the bag?

[bscinstnct]

Jordan in a position to control his destiny here.

 

Otherwise, wide open just about.

Kind of a better way of saying what I said. Seems like half his holes could just as easily be a double as a birdie. Kudos to him for taking advantage of any breaks he gets. Just seems like his round is about to go off the rails at any moment.

I went through this with him in another thread. Better off just letting it go.

[mallrat]

Then my apologies if I offended him in any way

I went through this in another thread. He admitted to having problem with reading.

you have now been reported

[ETgolf]

he looks soooo shaky on these little putts!

[rawdog]

Apologies if it's been covered, but,

 

Is there a thread about Padraig's step-through swing?

[mallrat]

So you are saying you don't need good luck to win a tourney in these conditions? Have you ever played in those conditions?

 

I flat out said he's a great golfer and yes I also said it seems like he gets a lot of good/lucky breaks. But as someone else said, he then had to take advantage of them and he does.

Yes. Winners always appear to be lucky. Jack, Tiger, Arnie, Phil, ..... and Jordan. etc.

no need to apologize. the other guy continues to bully, stalk and tries to edit his offensive remarks toward me......

 

you are cool....no worries there

Didn't know you guys had previous issues.

 

Not sure what this board has turned into sometimes and rarely venture into this part.

I'd like to see that too. I had to laugh when I saw him do that because I do the same thing on my practice swings. For the same reason he mentioned.
