Yep, that caddie sure is missing a lot of putts, lol.

[JaNelson38]

Man, seeing Lee Westwood pull this out would be amazing. But it just feels like we've seen this script about 10 times before.

[Dave230]

What a start by Westwood, rolling back the years.

[MountainGoat]

Does anyone else want to hold Stuart Mulligan’s head under water?

To see if he is a witch? If he drowns, he's innocent, lol.

He is certainly on fire. It would be nice.

 

Always followed him at Houston and he is a fan favorite. It’s not like he goes out of his way. Just the way he carries himself and acknowledges the crowd, you can tell he is appreciative.

 

Contrast that with a few others who present the total opposite by their demeanor and they would be wise to follow Westwood’s example.

Interesting for once, there Is only one player who I wouldn't like to win up there!

Just finished watching an exciting climb up the Col de Tourmalet.

Back from haircut. Westwood bustin a move.

 

Course and sea look gorgeous.

We used to say of guys like Hicks, that they've got to have a sympathetic relative at the network.

Would be nice if Lee Westwood can finally bag a major.

Currently rooting for

 

Els Putter grip

Westwoods putter Ketsch vault 2

Ricky's Puma's

 

 

Y'all see any equipment that piques your interest?

Westwood is looking very steady at the moment, it really is something to see. Of all the stories on the leaderboard at the moment I think his winning would be my favourite.

 

As a word of caution to all the Danny Willett haters - the last time he won a major, Westwood and Spieth were also in contention...it couldn’t happen again could it?!

[the bishop]

Prediction: If Willett wins it will take less than 30 seconds from when the last putt drops till a WRX thread titled "Worst player to win 2 majors?" is started.

[tgtaggie]

Major Machine is saving all his putts for tomorrow.

[tiderider]

deft little chip on 6 by westwood shows some confidence ...

[JAMH03]

Nice iblade 3iron off of one Westwood I see you!

[JAMH03]

 

Absolutely not lost on me that Puma's Ignite pro adapt X hearkens back to the Nike Air Zoom tours that hit the world like a ton of bricks 20 odd years ago.

Good Saturday, and looks like we'll have a great Sunday.

Rose seems to be channelling himself from the final round of the US Open, unfortunately.

[buckeye440]

Be nice to see Rickie post -8.

Please no wannabe linebackers this week. That leaderboard is loaded with wonderful stories. He is not one of them.

Westwood gf caddie? That’s cool

"Obviously I get on well with Helen,” Westwood said, with his trademark drollery. “She doesn't know too much about golf but she knows a lot about the way my mind works, so she keeps me in a good frame of mind, and keeps me focused on the right things at the right times.

 

"There's more to caddying than working out the yardages and checking the wind. I enjoy doing all those things myself. I have to get things clear in my own mind. We work well together.”

 

 

[Mr. Grumpy]

No TDF spoilers! I cant watch till later this evening....

 

Go Westwood!

[KrazyTrain18]

Would be quite something if Westwood could pull this off.

[Mr. Grumpy]

And,,, this would be awesome for Rickie as well..

Oof, chill now, JB

[One Putter]

Surprise surprise, JB's group is a hole behind.

 

They need to show his entire preshot bullshit on TV to give the viewers a glimpse into what Shane is having to deal with all day today.
