148th Open Championship

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.

As long as you go out last then I don't have a problem with that.

👍🏌️🏃

Are "forum speeds" the new forum distances?

C'mon on now you'll fly round Mach in under 3 hours easily.

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.

Well considering they only get 3 minutes to look for a ball and at this level they shouldn't be looking for too many, I think the first group was too slow.

Looked like a good bit of convenient gardening had been done round Rors ball there. No way was the grass that flat all round it when it went into that cabbage!!!

Have to say that looked very suspicious.

Fair enough. Not sure I'd be comfortable playing with you lot. I don't walk fast enough, or I fanny about too much 😁.

There were no fans anywhere near the ball. They must have switched off the cameras and the spotters went at it with their shears.

Having said that his second shot was superb, considering it was embedded into a dune. How did he identify it?

Got line of sight relief from a scoreboard.

Love how pro's play a different game.

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?

TBH i think they should have been round quicker than that, what chance does anyone have behind, maybe Darren should be last tomorrow

 

[garyinderry]

Heard that. Very lucky boy. No place to be over there.

🙄 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

And I'm sure you've never done the same when Tiger's having a bad round.......

Apparently Rors drive on the first hit a girl on the leg and broke her phone in her pocket. Oops.

Not if I'm playing for £1.5m I won't

I see the amateur in the group went round in 81, might've slowed them down a bit.

Why have Sky not got the Irish flag next to Darren Clarkes name?

watched a few holes this morning he was 2 under at one point, wheels must have come off, still the CSS will be RO anyway

He's not out last.

Shame that Sky Sports have such an issue showing Scots golfers. Dreadful.

Thought he was level - 71 myself!
