Senior Open Championship

[Tongo]

Anyone going this week? Me and the old man are going on Saturday. Hoping to see the likes of Tom Watson, MAJ, Faldo, Couples, Monty and Langer. (should they make the cut!) Looking forward to it, especially after the cracking day we had at the PGA Championship in May.

Sunningdale isn't it? Tempted to go Sunday but we've club champs on Saturday and it depends if I make the halfway cut (not likely on current form)

We got tickets for 21 quid, but that was prior purchase. They are now £31. You can buy a ticket and go on any day, which is good. The park and ride appears to be just a short walk from Sunningdale itself.

Properly looking forward to it! Senor Jiminez will be getting plenty of our attention!

Will be good, massive Faldo fan so wanted to see him, been to one a while ago when Norman was there as well, Sunningdale is lovely, better than Wentworth imo,

Had a great day at Sunningdale today. Fantastic seeing the likes of Jimenez, Faldo, Langer, Couples, Woosie, Torrance, Janzen, Watson etc etc.

Didnt get to see Monty which was a shame but there you go.

Also, what a beautiful course Sunningdale is!

There didn't look to be too many spectators, certainly later in the day so how come you missed Monty? It's a lovely place to go and even better to play

Big crowds following the Couples-Langer-Jiminez group and the Watson group (and the Faldo group earlier in the day) but not too bad apart from that.

Monty had finished his second round by the time we got there and we left at half 5 ish as we were knackered!

Monty is flying high just now. Hope he holds on and qualifies for the Open in Troon next summer.

 

[13Aces]

Yes indeed. Hope Monty wins. Just wish Sky would get rid of moaning Jacklin!

 

[Qwerty]

Just watching this at the moment. Monty is a right miserable sod. I can't help thinking he's going to throw this away via his own whinging.

You were saying? 2 ahead to 2 behind in two holes

Enjoyed watching the Monty of old when leading a major Would love to see Dawson win this, never heard of him before yesterday but hes been written off so many times by the comms this weekend!

You got to hand it to him, all the talk has been about Monty and Langer and here he is playing in the same group showing them how it's done. Great drive down the last.

P.S. His wife is called Heather, which seems apt
