If the R&A aren't particularly bothered about the scoring round the Old Course then don't see why everyone else should be!

Surely the whole point is to get a worthy Champion Golfer of the Year? Whoever wins today, I think overall we've had a brilliant Open Championship.

Some of the golf has been exceptional, the condition of the course fantastic, offering some very easy scoring opportunities, but some bloody tough ones as well.

Is the old girl still relevant given the modern equipment? Of course she is!

Look..I really don't think there's room for your brand of common sense on here......;)

While we are about it, can we please have open season on the morons that shout "Mashed potato", "Light the candle" or anything similar.

Having looked up the Urban Dictionary definition of 'light the candle' I'm struggling to understand why they use it? :unsure:

It’s seems to me that whenever you hear one of those inane shouts they all seem to have a Yank accent

it’s not something we used to hear at The Open

Great little exchange between Hatton and Horschal then ?

There was a bizarre shout of "I ABANDONED MY CHILD!" earlier in the week

It doesn't relate to any golf ever. Total nonsense and looks like something from an old computer game.

Just home after a round in brutal conditions, lots of rain and winds at 40 kph
Now settled in for the next 4 hours of what's been a great Open so far... C'mon Victor!
