The Open @ Carnoustie (NO POLITICS)

[the bishop]

Do you think those that broadcast US golf know, no one wants to switch from live coverage to a shot of two dudes talking? Does not happen when watching Euro tour coverage.

A-friggin-men

 

I hate that we don't have the regular Euro tour personalities and producers.

ya I miss looking at and listening to that pot bellied, gap toothed Kenny Schofield

Schofield has quite the bag of fries going

[duffer987]

Kevin Chappell sure had a stealth round, after that rocky start, they didn't show much of him for a while and there he is 2 back and handled playing with Jordan really well.

Phils Chrome soft commercial where he hits it through the TV screen glass after telling viewers to move to the side is a bit repulsive. Maybe because I think it's a lame attempt to make things right with the US Open debacle.

 

How much does your brain hurt with that line of thinking?

 

My God..

When people say the U.K. commentators are less annoying, they forget about Kenny.

 

Is Peter Allis still around, I haven’t heard from him this year.

[PGArox]

Back to back US Open & Open Champs has never happened. That would be pretty damn cool...

 

Yes, that would be cool. Also remember the last five majors have been won by Americans in their 20's. Jordan and Xander will try to keep that going. ;)

Rocky start? He birdied the first 3 holes of the round.

[golfnoob25]

Rory and Tiger pairing??

[dlygrisse]

With the wind tomorrow I give Rory a 1% chance.

Ha! Sorry conflating players here late in the round!

[knock it close]

I had a dream the tuesday before the US Open that Xander was gonna win, my subconscious might of mixed up opens

[Sean2]

Why do they persist in re-hashing the van de Veldt train wreck over and over again. It's like they take some perverse glee over some else's misfortune.

Thank God. Dude is so pompous and self absorbed.

[larciel]

Rory and Tiger pairing??

 

That duo will lose airtime by 4th hole. Ugly putting and Rory will lose his driver

[redfirebird08]

Rory and Tiger pairing??

 

Nah, looks like Tiger will be with Webb Simpson assuming Zach Johnson doesn’t drop a shot.

congrats jordan for defending the claret jug!

[Lancj1]

Rory M showing that famous and often discussed lack of edge again. Seems to have gone to places unknown. Four off the lead, but....

[PGArox]

With the wind tomorrow I give Rory a 1% chance.

 

Tiger, too.

[Lancj1]

congrats jordan for defending the claret jug!

 

That won't happen.

[Froghair]

Is there a difference between "lead" and "outright lead"? That annoys me.

 

I have been saying that for a while. You either have the lead or you don't. There is nothing "outright" about it.

 

 

Thank you Sir.

 

It's one of those stupid sports announcing ticks that has become the norm. The other one that makes me irrationally angry is the constant use of "like a" in sports discussions. As in "When you're dealing with a player like a Tiger Woods..." THERE IS ONLY ONE OF HIM THERE IS ONLY ONE OF ANYBODY GO SLAM YOUR OWN HEAD IN A CAR DOOR.

One thousand likes.

congrats jordan for defending the claret jug!

 

Although I would love to see that, we still have lots of golf left to play. ;)

[babyfade]

Xander came to play again!

[Pent08]

Good lord Rory, just start playing golf recreationally and rid me of your lack of tenacity.

[GTA SOL]

Don’t want to sound like an old fart but what’s with Kisner and all his spitting. Looks terrible.

[Pent08]

Jordan will go full on Australian Open tomorrow. The freight train is cresting the hill.

[Konklifer]

Couldn't be happier for PP. ;)

Hitting driver not tenacious enough for you?

 

His rubbish putting is simply bringing his wedge play down with it. Shame, still in with a shot though.

[n3putts]

Tiger in the 3rd to last group....

[the bishop]

Please someone beat up Steve Sands

WARNING: Do not listen to Xander while driving. :sleep:
