The 150th Open

I think Bryson hooked that one a tad.......

And the jammy git gets a favourable drop....

Most don’t care

The players don’t care , the fans don’t care

The score that wins won’t matter - there is nothing that comes close to winning The Open at TOC

The cut was level par - it’s not getting pummelled, stop dribbling on about it

This is spot on, there is something special about The Old Course, if you are going to win the Open this is the place ?

Great comment from Andrew Coltart there, the shots that DeChambeau and Zalatoris just played, couldn’t be played anywhere else, having to really think about the type of shot to play to get it close, that’s what links golf is all about ?

The Grandstands helping out DeShambles on both the 17th and 18th

Also worth remembering they've left it at par 72. Elsewhere they'd likely call it a 70.

The insight from Sky is fantastic; apparently the greens aren't quite as quick later in the day because the grass has grown. Who'd have thought it?

If you don't feel something when you stand on that first tee for the first time then you have no golfing soul.

Course getting yet another pummelling. I wonder at what point does the R&A, even privately, consider the current combination of long hitting and classic courses no longer provides a total test of golf ? For me, we are already at that point.

Just how many holes was Faldo hitting 4 irons into on par 4’s? Just curious as I genuinely have no idea.

Lowry with back-to-back eagle 2's at 9 & 10. The crowd seem to approve.

So what do we think the leader will be tonight? -18 maybe? I think any of the top 6 could get to that today.

Pin positions seem easier today as well, maybe they are wanting a birdie fest and to get more people in contention.

Lowry’s big deep laugh at the end as well. Brilliant.

That was a horrible putt from Cam Smith. Horrible.

Roryyyyyyyyyy!

That roar ?

Why does McGinley think no one who is from anywhere other than Scotland or Ireland has played hard pan windy courses? Zalatoris grew up playing in Texas, so will be well used to playing baked out courses in the wind.

He’s an embarrassment and constantly contradicts himself or just spouts nonsense.

I wonder why Cam Smith puts a line on his ball and then doesn't use it to line up his putts?
Putt on 16 and the line was perpendicular to his putt line....

Maybe he doesn’t normally use a line, and he is using a ball that he found with someone else’s markings on it. ??
