146th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale

[egr2teup]

You can put a star beside Spieth's bounce-back birdie.

 

I've got a feeling he's getting ready to grab this tournament by the throat.

[SonnyD]

Sure he should have taken his 3rd from there, but wtf took so long? Take the line, move back and drop. I said he should take the drop there as soon as he got to the ball. 25 minutes later he's hitting from that exact spot.

 

I don't understand what the whole walking around the semi trucks was all about.

[deadsolid...shank]

Pretty soon these two will be the only players out there....With 4 holes to go! And there's only one man you can thank for that. Everybody is expected to wait for YJS. And he's perfectly fine with that.

 

He wasn't doing anything wrong. Trying to find where to drop. Final round of a major, what should he do, just say "oh heck, anywhere is good"

 

Seem to remember Tiger hitting it on a clubhouse roof, that one took some time, don't remember it causing an uproar.

[knock it close]

This is my favorite thing, peak

[deadsolid...shank]

unhinged JS hating tiger fans are hilarious. Seriously fellas, try to relax. Try Xanax maybe.

 

 

Too soon?

 

No. Perfect timing!

[bladehunter]

Gonna be a sole leader after this hole.

 

That's right. Upcoming birdie !

[SASpeeder]

Just plain wrong from every angle!!

 

Like I said; from every angle, take your pick starting with time taken and line of sight.

 

How so?

[nix]

You know what golf needs? Speith getting penalized a stroke and losing the british open because an overzealous rules official and the R&A decided he was taking too long.

 

sarcasm alert

[finleysg]

Not quite Troon '16 but this is good. :)

 

Yeah, it's the opposite of 16 troon, but honestly before that speith deal it was a little flat, that amped it up in my mind.

 

If speith wins, he may get a plaque on the practice green memorializing that shot.

 

And maybe a small obelisk on that dune.

Crazy how that works, right?

Exactly. Have to get it right... or some idiot armchair rules official calls in a penalty!

Because of the video replay rules nazis you need to make sure a rules official is with you and agrees with every single little thing or else you get johnsoned.

Omg people. He had to drop within line of sight to the unplayable lie. Which was behind trucks. Then had to seek relief for trucks. How hard is this ?

29 minutes is not too long?

R and a much too smart for that. They are polar opposites of mike Davis and the clown brigade.

[PGArox]

No.

[whr]

What an eagle Spieth!

[DatSliceDoe]

Is it strange that I knew that putt would drop well before hand?

[Mr. Grumpy]

crap

Not when you consider the extraordinary circumstances.

[fr0sty]

GOLD!

[bscinstnct]

You just knew it would happen!

They were almost 2 holes behind before this even happened. So no real issue with getting the drop right but to take all that extra time is unfair to the rest of the field who play with respect for competitors by keeping up the pace.

[Pent08]

Haha wow, well the kid can putt
