The Open 2023

[Dando]

Just listening on Radio 5 and someone shouted something unamusing to which you could clearly hear someone reply "Shut up", followed by laughter.

Some knob shouted chips and gravy

 

[timd77]

I’ve heard ‘si senior’ at Rahm, ‘chips n gravy’ at Tommy. Both more amusing than the usual ‘mashed potato/light the candle’ etc, but…

If you heard audio only from previous opens, you’d know it was the open. There’s a distinct crowd noise of shock at how good the strike is, admiration at how far and straight, and a kind of ‘go on’, followed by clapping. Would be a shame if that changed.

Ps - it should be curry n chips anyway.

 

[Backsticks]

And thats it. Harmon closes the deal.
Oppenheimer looks the better bet for tomorrow afternoons entertainment.

 

[Orikoru]

Would certainly like Harman to drop a couple before the end or tomorrow could be write off, yeah.

I thought it was just the Americans who shouted nonsense at golf events??

I remember listening to an interview with Steve Williams where he said the scousers were being rather unpleasant at timesz

Oh well. Never mind.

He is not being cooperative.

 

[Backache]

Fair do's to Harman he's playing well, but it's not making for an entertaining day tomorrow.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Not good tele.

 

[Springveldt]

Only bright side to this thing is I have £2 e/w on Cam Young at 60/1. Just need the older Fitzpatrick to sneak into the top 10 as well.

I’m going to be seeing a waggling golf club in my sleep tonight though.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

In that part of the world chips n gravy is the right shout. I wouldn't disagree with your preference but it's accurate for Tommy.

Still stupid though.

 

[Pin-seeker]

So how many majors as Rory played in since his last win?

 

[Imurg]

Assuming he doesn't make a horlicks of the last few holes, Harman could be 6 or 7 clear by tonight..
I think it reasonable to suggest that Rahm will do well to match today's score as will Young.
Level par round probably wins it by 2 or 3 easily....
Sadly, this won't make it a particularly good viewing spectacle.

 

[Backsticks]

I am expecting to see a glimpse of the man engraving the trophy before coverage finishes tonight.

 

[jim8flog]

What are the factors that decide on who’s being paired with who when you’ve got a whole host of players on the same score come the weekend?

first in with the score last out.

 

[jim8flog]

He just did it again before the ad break.

Stop with the Britney Spears jokes.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Laura Davies just said Harmon would prefer to only be 1 ahead instead of 5 ahead going into the final round as “that is a much more comfortable lead”.

Honestly, do these people even think about what they are saying?

He isn't going to sleep a wink tonight

Walking the dog tonight and passed a guy taking clubs out of his car. Morpeth stayed open, it was their invitation Day. How soggy?

Can’t imagine that would have been fun. I think it’s only stopped raining for about 30 minutes today, just a constant drizzle after that deluge during the night. Club Championship tomorrow has already been postponed.

Nice to see Tommy Fleetwood thanking the scoreboard operator and bunker raker after his round. These little things matter.

 

[Backsticks]

Meronk, Harrington, MacIntyre backing up the field. Straka will have please Captain Donald. The other three, leaving him worriedly brow-furrowed.
