Time for Mickelson to concentrate on the Champions Tour methinks...

The American broadcasters love in with him means that he'll stick around for a while yet. His ego and their continue pretence that he is relevant will ensure this. Meanwhile, somewhere out there on the course there are golfers playing good golf and leading a tournament.

Franny Molinari just topped one off the first in R3....

Anybody just see Molanari just properly top his tee shot on the first?? Didn’t get past the ladies tees

Well it was a stone cold top off the first, must have gone 50 yards at the most.

The best thing was the commentary on his 2nd shot... "his caddy probably won't have a yardage from there"

Those drone pictures of 6, 7 & 8 are awesome.

The 7th is playing 100 yards. Can't remember a hole that short in a tournament?

They've said several times over the last few days that it's the shortest hole on tour.

Must have missed that. ? European tour?

Think they meant the PGA tour - not aware of anything that short at any of the tour venues in Europe.

We've got a par 3 at 100 yards on our second course (the Ashludie) at Monifieth - but I'd doubt the tour are looking at it as a venue

Yes, sorry didn't write that clearly. Couldn't think of any on the European tour either.

In case you missed it, didn’t past the ladies etc etc

Not strictly "on the European Tour" but the Postage Stamp at Troon pops up every few years.

123 yards is it not - shortest hole on the Open rota

This is magnificent

13th at Merion for 2013 US Open played at 98 yards on day 3.

Longest the hole played was 123 yards on day 2.

Spieth extracting the urine again..

 

[pendodave]

Quite looking forward to tonight's coverage. Shame that there aren't a few better or more likeable players in the following group to put a bit more pressure on ojs.

I like Speith, and Berger. Cantlay needs to speed up, Casey I am fine with, Lashley was a nice guy when he was on NLU. It should be good viewing.

Are you sure you're not confusing Cantley with Berger?

Waiting for the latter to play a shot or settle on a putt is like watching paint dry.

Agree

Cantlay is deliberate (slow)

But Bergers putting routine is a pain to watch....... Zzzzz
Another good reason to ban the alignment line on the ball, it's a joke

 

[USER1999]

To be fair to both, they are flipping slow, and any differences in their pace of play are minimal.
