The 2015 Open Championship ***Warning: May Contain Spoilers***

The trouble is now the few that have gone out this morning have now dropped shots when really they should never have been out there,so a tad unfair.

Also the winds set fair for today so we could lose all of todays play.

Oosty's ball moved nearly 5 feet..!

 

[Imurg]

Winds not due to let up until late PM........

Danny Willett must be having a wee chuckle to himself......

 

[Tongo]

Who'll be the first to winge?

They all are they should never have been out there.

 

[Jimaroid]

Well I've been saying it all year but it's worth repeating now. Stupid wind.

 

[Imurg]

They all are they should never have been out there.

To be fair, when they first went out it was probably just playable. Gusts have picked up in the last 20-30 minutes.

Its going to be a struggle to finish this by Sunday night now.

Are you there mate and if so what do the fans do when its suspended for a long time?

 

[Tongo]

Mark James' point about DJ dawdling rather than marking his ball on the 14th green was a good, salient point.

I imagine the pubs will be doing a roaring trade today. I live just down the road so I'm thinking I might go and play a few holes. There's not much else to do in these parts, it's basically get drunk, play golf, or a combine the two.

Mght've been mentioned already on here, but if not, The Official Open App isn't at all bad. Pretty comprehensive and very easy to use.

Sorry had to go shopping and now the coverage has stopped.

Any news on when it could start again?

Suspended indefinitely
Gusts due to subside late afternoon - can't see them going out much before 3.....

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Wonder if they will play 36 tomorrow ?
That will sort them out. Loads of slow play warnings.

 

[Imurg]

Don't hold your breath.
Heavy rain forecast for tomorrow morning......

 

[Jacko_G]

Its the greenkeepers that I feel for. So much planning, hard work and effort all been washed out.

Top lever professional golfers get pampered too much, get them out there battling the east coast elements.

Shouldn't have major golf championships in the far frozen North. Lovely down here in Southern England. Almost perfect conditions for playing golf!

Got to be a Monday finish now. I know St Andrews is the home of golf but for such a huge tournament, it's unacceptable to have to sit around for what will no doubt end up being the best part of 2 days. Scotland may be the home of golf, but it's best played in nearly any other country around the world!

 

[jp5]

Bring it down south, or enclose St Andrews in a dome. Job done.

 

[Jacko_G]

Indeed, I mean, shock horror at some rain in St Andrews, lets not forget that players couldn't even get relief from water in bunkers at Lytham & St Annes in the tropical south!
