Not a bogey since the 15th hole on Friday, awesome performance.

The total opposite
The R&A have set the Course up perfect - it’s tough , fair and just natural
They haven’t made the course a joke - it’s rewarded good golf and punsihed bad golf - this is how a major should be

Right, sorry I missed the irony. :thup:
You're absolutely bob on, the course has been set up beautifully, especially considering the unseasonable weather they've had up there.
It's made for an incredible championship!

To be fair they were lucky it rained and it got windy. The course is setup great but it came close to being daft. But achieving that balance is all credit to the job they’ve done.

Really chuffed for Molinari- that’s a brilliant round in the conditions , even more so with him playing alongside Woods and the circus that followed him - if Rory , Rose or Tommy wasn’t going to win then Molinari is the next best thing
Also good to see a few of the big Europeans in the top 10 of the leaderboard but not many big US players about
Also how great is thats Schuaffle - played superbly and a great interaction with the crowd - seems a US player who is likeable as his demeanour is far better than others

Agreed.
Can’t see many people being unhappy to see him win.

Superb. And best of all, Molinari won with exhibition sensible golf. He’s not big, he’s not long, he just plots and plods it around. Lovely golf.
Made even better by my huge £2 bet on him at 66/1.

A much deserved win by Molinari. His form in the last couple months has been sublime.
Would had loved a historic Tiger win, but a £40 bet at 33/1 will just do instead. :thup:

Please don’t. He didn’t win and we really can’t be bothered going over it all again.

They really need to work on these presentation ceremonies.

No punt; no pint!
Great to see that Tiger is definitely back too!
R&A did a much better job with course setup than USGA at their Open! 8 Under winning score is fine on a relatively benign Carnoustie!

I think that was his big chance -most of the big guns tripping over themselves and no real dominant performance from a big player and it was there for him but two really poor irons shots and then the attempt at a flop shot just knocked him and he couldn’t seem to recover from it - not sure if he will get a chance like that again , played some brilliant shots though - that bunker shot was just outstanding
