The 150th Open

[ExRabbit]

Can someone please break McGinley’s microphone?

I've just invented a new drinking game. I'm having a mouthful every time he says 'angle(s)'. I expect to be wrecked within the hour.

I'm going with 'giddy-up' and it all be interesting to see who's bladdered first

Rory could do with a birdie soon to settle the nerves. In the meantime, a bit of a pile up forming behind him on the leaderboard.

“Reset” for me. I’m pickling nicely.

How many times have you encountered a pin 85 yards onto the green..?

If I was on the front of the green, I reckon it is at least a full lob wedge to the win. Into the wind, maybe sand or gab wedge.

My chosen drinking trigger word is
Qality
Qwality
Qualliitly
It think its working

I was looking at our greens this morning and trying to imagine a green 100 yards deep.....it just doesn't compute..

I've played plenty of par 3s shorter than that off the ladies tee

Sky Sports dream outcome.......Rory wins and validates all the 150th hype, if not then Victor would be ok, not great, but ok. Cam Smith would be a bit of a disappointment but better than the embarrassment of it being a LIV player.

Paul McGinley's only outcome is a win for Rory.

Me? I have Cam Smith at 8/1, I probably should have cashed out on Friday, but it's too late now, we'll see.

 

[need_my_wedge]

Maybe to see it square to the putter face?

Possible, except it was facing away from him

Rory needs to get going... or he'll get caught

I think -19 and Rory wins. And with 9, 10 and 12 coming up, he could be -19 on the 13th tee.

 

[Orikoru]

can we get rid of the strike meter? its pointless.. bryson hit a perfect 100 yesterday .. so what? he was in the rough. rory hits a 65 and its perfect

it doesnt relate to links golf at all

I didn't have a clue what that was all about. What unit is it in?? "Strike meter 65" - 65 what?? What does it mean?

 

[Billysboots]

Rory’s putter a little chilly today, or he’d already be out of sight.

Bryson had the best reply

Bryson you got 100 on our strike meter ..

"Wow really? Greats great. No idea what it means but hey I'll take it"

Start sweating ?

Yep ….. and there it is.

Hopefully a couple more quickly

 

[Blue in Munich]

And the McGinley drivel-fest recommences...

 

[rystaman]

3 birdies in a row for Cam Smith. He's on the charge

 

[need_my_wedge]

A bit nervy at the moment

 

[IanM]

I had a bet on Wednesday for Cam Smith, but I'd rather Rory made it an uneventful stroll to victory!
