2017 Open Championship

You got him all wrong.

Maybe.
but he's not going to win anyway.
Top 10 at best.

Saw a few people with Alfie's Army (on similar) on their t shirts there today so guess that was who they were rooting for.

Apparently there are about 150 of them - mostly staying in the local Pontins. I guess the bar there may well run out of refreshments tonight :cheers:

Maybe not but let's hope his current form continues coz we need him for the Ryder Cup.

Poulter is a good guy and I for one would love to see him win this week.

. Didn't you know he's a gooner .

To be honest I think it might be the making of him and he might learn some humility. You never see a major winner bragging

Have you never seen Gary (I can do more sit-ups than you, I've flown more miles than you, I'm fitter than you, I could turn Westwood into a Major winner, I watch my diet better than you, I excercise my mind better than you, you must bow down to me, listen to me me me me me) Player?

nothing wrong with a Gooner. ...

If one of the home grown lads can't win this weekend, I'd be happy to see Matt Kuchar lift the trophy on Sunday afternoon. Always comes across as a thoroughly nice bloke.

Yep your right he is a good guy, Speith Poults Kutchar would do for me and off course Stenson for that matter

Koepkas drive bounced off the top of my brolly on the 6th back towards the fairway. Reckon it saved him a shot so if he wins by one I'm claiming an assist.

DJ having some fun with his irons today.

 

[larmen]

They all seem to be scoring quite well today.

 

[richy]

Soft conditions and lack of wind. Should be some low scores today. I reckon there'll be a few making a charge.

 

[Hosel Fade]

Johnny Miller will be touching cloth as we speak

 

[sawtooth]

Brandon Grace on track for lowest score in an Open. Needs one more birdie to make 62 with two holes to play. Amazing.

 

[Slime]

The good weather is spoiling it for me.

 

[sawtooth]

Par on the last needed for a 62, history in the making?

 

[sawtooth]

Amazing Grace 👏

First man to shoot 62 in a major.

 

[Papas1982]

Par on the last needed for a 62, history in the making?

I hope he does it, but it's "only" -8. I'm of the opinion of the lowest under par is best.

Still great for him of course. But its a bit like scoring 58 on a par 70. 59 on a 72 is better.

 

[Jacko_G]

Hopefully Spieth goes lower.

 

[Imurg]

Hopefully Spieth goes lower.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone does - Birkdale's there for the taking today.

Par is an irrelevant construct, if they had called the 6th a par 5 that wouldn't make his round any better and if he shot it at the Old Course in identical conditions which plays at 72 it would certainly be worse.
