148th Open Championship

Heads gone already
#mentallyweak

No doubt certain Rory fans will be on here later to disagree and find an excuse for the horror start. Another dropped shot now and he'll have a proper head off and could end up shooting loads. I agree about not looking good mentally and his body language not good

Anyone on here who is friends with LP please give him a phone to ensure he's ok or at least lying in a darkened room with no access to media of the Open.

I actually spoke with a legend in the Scottish Amateur scene a few weeks ago and that is exactly what they said. They said they could tell from his body language that he has trouble with his concentration.

Wow, glad I left Rory out of my fantasy team!
I figured he'd be undone by any wind that might blow, but it didn't even need that!

 

[need_my_wedge]

Horror show start from Rors. Makes me feel better about my game

 

[Slab]

He likes setting a record... Wonder if Rory is thinking of shooting a 203

 

[Marshy77]

Mentally weak with 4 major wins and 20+wins on tour.

Anyway.

The number of people on the 18th to see Darren clarke upto the green, that is cool

 

[HowlingGale]

That's Darren Clark just hit to the green on the 18th. Just over 4.5 hours. Where do the delays (and moans about pros being slow) come from? I'd say that's a reasonable amount of time for a round in a major. Is Rory holding up the field looking for his balls?

I don't think it's a reasonable time when they have a clear course in front and thousands of ball spotters if they hit a shot offline.

Loving Papas1982 tip for Rory At 6/1 to miss the cut I took that bet and if this continues that's the kids weekend treat paid for 🤣

I did also state in the other thread early on Rory won't win. LP must be prepping his excuse for him now. 🤣

4.5 hours for a 3 ball with caddies???

About 1.5 hours too long I'd suggest

Are "forum speeds" the new forum distances?

 

[need_my_wedge]

Another lost ball for Rors......? Car crash golf..... Hate seeing him play like this

🙄 what a sad pair you are

Pro golfer doesn’t play well and hackers laugh about it - I’m pretty sure I can guess who looks worse

I’m sure the multiple major winner will get in touch with you both soon to give him advice

Did you see the spotters trying to find Rory's ball on the 5th. The cabbage is wild. In a major, with what's at stake what would you say was reasonable? The problem is the people later taking more time than 4.5 hours. To be honest the pros can take all day if they want. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. However some people take it as a personal insult if they dare to take their time to read things correctly.

I’ve been saying it for a couple years now.
My memory is not great but I can remember the last time he won in testing conditions.
It just seems to me his head goes down very quickly,even though there are eagle chances out there to get it back.
He also needs a stronger caddie imo to reign him in and keep him focused.
Steve Williams?

3 hours? In a major? Wow. I've never played a round of golf in 3 hours even when everyone found their ball first time every time.
