It's a collaboration between Nike and Stone Island. Rory ain't paying nothing for it...which is just as well because who would pay to look like a football hooligan.

Clearly misinterpreted what I meant. I meant Rory's wallet was benefiting from it. Rory was getting $$$ for wearing it.

Interesting, it's the most unlikely collaboration I could imagine. All he needed was a Burberry hat or scarf to complete the look.

Rahm is getting some of the worst questions ever.

So no chance he gets another green jacket next year?

That's because not everyone know Harry Colt went to a buddy trip in Oregon before designing it.

i'm watching via phone as well and echo your thoughts -- quite annoying.

 

anyone else see that sergio hit driver on the par 3 16th hole...??

[cardoustie]

that 16th looks pretty tough

[scott_Donald]

I just switched to Sky Sports as they are now live at The Open, I hate all the commercials on US TV.

Think Rory is a big fan of Tiger, or just needing some motivation?

Haha!! Milwall away on Saturday so he will break it out for that.

I played yesterday when Barry moved over us. I got at least four wind directions, lots of fun.

Disappointing news from the R&A regarding taking the event to the rest of the world.

Looks like I can keep calling it the British Open for the foreseeable future.

I could easily see Tiger winning another green Jacket. That is the one course he could be competitive at for 10 more years.

I'm pretty sure that I would hit into all of them if I ever played Portrush.

I am with you on the conflicted. Seems like it could one of those tournaments that he wins by 7. Also feels like as you mentioned, the home town pressure, he could possibly barely make the weekend. In terms of weather, I think right now his tee times for the weekend are favorable.

 

As a whole, I don't know if anyone is a clear cut favorite, Rory and Brooks come to mind. But I think someone like JT, Kuch, Stenson, maybe even a Paul Casey could come through. I want to say Rickie but who knows. Someone that won't try and do too much to the course. I think DJ will get caught with too many drivers kind of like at the PGA. Same with Rahm.

Tiger's swing is looking good.

Apparently another reminder is necessary.

 

While debating and discussion are fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, or purposeless inflammatory posts.

 

Take your personality conflicts to PM or put each other on ignore. DO NOT derail this topic with your bickering.

I have a Roku TV. Does anyone know what streaming apps will have this coverage? I want to plan ahead to make sure I have what I need ready to roll.

NBC Sports / Golf Channel for sure. I am not familiar enough with the Roku to know all the specific apps but that is probably the best bet. Unless The Open has an app made for Roku like it does the iPhone/iPad.

 

Or if there is an internet browser app that can be downloaded and go to The Open website and stream from there? The iPhone app has feature groups, featured holes and full coverage.
