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

I can't believe Faldo was paired with Rose and Fowler. Pretty harsh on them. Almost as bad as being shown what felt like every one of his (duff) shots.

No disrespect to Faldo but yeah that's two days Rose has had him now. No really fair to his mindset.
 
So with many top names not going out until after 5pm, its unlikely they'll finish their rounds today..
Which leaves them to finish tomorrow morning - slap bang in the middle of the 40+ mph winds.
Could be some big names getting blown away...literally.!
 
Conditions are lovely out here at the moment. A stiff but relatively warm breeze is making it a pretty much perfect period of links golf. Oh how it'll change soon...
 
It is going to be tough going for the late starters like Howell and Lawrie.
Early start tomorrow, then if they just make the cut straight on to the 3rd round.
Not much sleep tonight I would think.
 
I honestly can't believe what I've just heard on BBC4. Re Matsuyama's touch deserting him, "he might be glad to get in for a bit of sushi."... WTF?!???!

This probably belongs in the " How bad is the Beeb" thread!

I'm too young to remember Tom Watson at his peak but still great to see him walk down the 18th tonight at St Andrews

Two days faldo played with rose errrrrrrrr yeah everybody plays with same partners from first day. Sir Nick faldo has more majors than everybody in the field bar 2.
71 Today good as most have some respect.
 
Absolute agreement. A true gent as well as a legend. That was a truly emotional walk down 18. Perfectly fitting it was his lad standing with him on the Swilcan Bridge for the final time.

Very emotional. As you say, an absolute gent. I wish I could meet him at some point. Fantastic man, amazing golfer, beautiful golf swing. One of the best on every level.

I concur. Never seen so many people willing a putt to drop as there were around 18. And fair play to all those fans who stayed out to give him the send off he fully deserved.

A wee part of me was willing them to call time on the 18th tee so that Tom could walk down the 18th to a bigger Saturday crowd. I would have stuck around to see him walk down 18. But sadly many didnt.
