An interesting comment from I think Ken Brown in the box..."Rory, the best golfer in the world".

Proper golf and golfers, not like the pampered masses of pros who get preferred lies if there's a little dew on the ground - just pathetic (that's you PGAT and LPGAT).

 

Billy Horschel's playing, yes? Good on him.

Well, at least he's won a major.

 

The women may get a new #1 this week whose best finish in a major is 4th and she's won 2 LPGA events.

I've been a Chelsea fan since the 70's (parents from London).

 

Loved the Zola era.

About 50 degrees, strong wind and rain here in NC. Our course is closed.

On a serious note, horrible to see the effects of cyclone Ian😧

Does anyone know what the biggest differential in scores is from the first and second rounds on the PGA or European tour, Langasque cant be far off the record surely?

Brutal conditions today. Tyrrell Hatton said he had to hit 4 iron from 150 yards into the wind. I can relate to that.

[iBanesto]

A. Noren in a great position for the weekend with Kingsbarns in the 3rd round.

 

He has been lurking for a win since 2018.

 

🇸🇪

I play golf for enjoyment.  That doesn't look enjoyable.  I've played with it snowing and so long as you keep your hands warm that is fine/fun.

Me to, but they play for a living.

That was a veiled dig at the "this is proper golf" guys.

 

Cool.  You want to play when it is raining sideways and battling hypothermia, rock on.  I'll just play improper golf when it is 65ish and sunny.

 

A job on the other hand is another ordeal.  There are plenty of days I drag myself to work when I had rather not go.

Come on, Ryan Fox.

 

No pressure, but if you don't have a good finish, my family go cold and hungry this week....

Whilst Rod Pampling scored a mere 15 shots worse on Friday than he did on Thursday in the 1999 Open at Carnoustie, he managed the ignominious double of both leading the championship on Thursday and going home on Friday after missing the cut.

Sihwan Kim had a 24 shot different in a tournament.

 

87-63.

Interesting to see the Fitzpatrick brothers are grouped together for the 3rd round.

 

A. Fitzpatrick has done reasonably well on the ET since turning pro.

She looked like she had the time of her life playing the Old Course with her sons. Awesome stuff.

Came in here to say just that.  I enjoyed watching her play with her boys more than anything I’ve seen lately.  Honestly brought a tear to my eye on 18 when she hugged her boys.  Such a gift to have a mother like that.  And not nearly as common as it should be. I better stop and go outside and find something to do.
