2017 Open Championship

Why do you really dislike him?

Seems like a great person just really don't like his golf golf at all. He's hugely improved this year but prior to that he was awful off the tee (still is) and had a very average game compared to his peers - in previous years unless he holed the earth he couldn't compete.

also the luckiest golfer you will ever see on tour.

Bit shaky this start for Spieth. Should be a good next 3 hours, not leaving the TV

Yep pressure must be starting to bite.

Wouldn't rule out someone like Grace if he can card a low score today.

Yiu only play 18 shots of the tee. I agree he has work to do there (or accept that he isn't as long), but his short game is as good as anyone's imo.

i agree he can have some tendencies that frustrate. Don't think he's luckier than any golfer. Just that we will remember fortune of those we don't like more than anyone else's.

When Mcilroy had this start on Thursday the haters on here had their pitchforks out

It's got all interesting - would be great if Grace went on another run , Noren as well. Speith crumbling

If he'd worn a jacket for lunch it wouldn't have happened

If it were me it would be egg colour 😣

His snap hook is back in town #ballleft

Radar reckons he's like a startled rabbit in the headlights....
Kooch needs to keep the ball in play

Spieth gets more breaks than chocolate fatties at a kitkat festival

People were commenting on his continuing poor run.

To use an american phrase, Spieth prior to the open was trending in the opposite direction to Spieth.

Golf Gods smiling on the lad Spieth at the moment.

Darren Clarke being impeccably neutral there 👀

Spieth is getting away with some poor shots - certainly is being very lucky today

Another reason pros have a leg up over us amateurs. We don't have crowds lining the fairways saving the ball from going into deep trouble.

The crowd must have saved Spieth at least 4 shots today.

I expect this one will have been found perched on a tee peg.

Let's see how he fares with that tee shot. Blimey o'reilly Jordan
