Yes for weather.
I did wonder if an official had a word yesterday as he seemed to speed up a little over the last 3 or 4 holes.

Waste of time having a word with them, a few 2 shot penalties is the rocket up their backside they need.

Not watched any pro golf for years but interested if anyone has played ready golf while the likes of JB is ****ing around?

I see fast playing Koepka is paired with JB today, could be the end of his aspirations.

Who his or jbs? Because hasn’t koepka before spoke to officials about putting his playing partners on the clock?

Adam Scott did at the Genesis, JB was dicking about so Scott played, made no difference as JB won.

End of JB perhaps not Brooks. He's already openly stated what he does and will do when playing slowly and I'd reckon he's mentally strong enough not to be bothered by JB

Koepka's, even if he speaks to officials he'll get annoyed and out of his flow.

Koepka says he intentionally slows down with slow players so his group gets put on the clock, he then plays at his normal pace

Not sure, but the text comms I’m following have just said Sergio has played ahead of Cantlay, so presumably it does happen occasionally.

Doesn't those last handful of pairings look pure vanilla

And so me and Mrs Hogie avoided all news from The Open so that we could watch the highlights on the Beeb at 8pm. Just brilliant by Lowry and Fleetwood - and also what a finish also by Rose - with Holmes and Koepka still well in the mix. We're heading out for a walk this afternoon and so would be missing it live anyway. Looking forward to a very exciting couple of hours viewing this evening. Great also to see the lad from Oban having done so well. I might hate my own golf at the moment - but loving the golf the big boys play.

Think you might need explain this one Slab!

I've never been as happy to see someone hit a shot OOB

Sad times..........NOT!!

Yes, Twitter was very supportive... Ish!

 

[Blue in Munich]

So Koepka's out of it having bogeyed the first 3. Fleetwood possibly blown it on the first? Hole the birdie putt, pressure Lowry with his bogey putt, the lead is halved if Fleetwood holes or reduced to one if Lowry then misses, instead it's only one shot dropped as Fleetwood misses & Lowry holes to keep the lead at 3.

And Twitter won't be impressed by Fowler's response.

 

[fundy]

turns out Koepka is human after all, hard to see much past the front 2 here the way this is shaping up early on

🤪
If i was asked to put those 10/12 players into pairs for best entertainment, that's how I would've paired them

What the hell is going on with Brooks?? Expecting him to come out and make a charge and he's hacking it all over the place. He's about to bogey the 4th as well if he's not careful. Christ.

For Brooks it probably win or nothing

Why is everyone going backwards. I want to see fireworks and pressure put on Lowry.

Crap viewing so far. Hopefully it hots up a good few degrees or I'll be out cutting the grass.
