The Open 2023

[Springveldt]

Personally think if Harmon goes round +1 or 2 today he’ll still be in the lead. Hell of a score yesterday. Hoping for a contest once the leaders get going.

If he does it will probably only be a shot, if that. Watching this now, I’ve just watched Ryan Fox dig a wedge out of the rough on 18 and have it stop within 3 feet. Someone near the top is going to shoot a 64 or 65 imho.

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?

Imagine how annoyed he’d be after today if he was 10 ahead.

Rahm knocking them in from everywhere....

Yup I was actual arms up watching on tablet when that putt dropped

 

[Voyager EMH]

Name that tune!

"John Rahm, braver than brave
Show us today what you are.
John Rahm, man among men
Your name will shine like a star."

 

[Pin-seeker]

That’s some round from Rahm

 

[Voyager EMH]

Is it something by Rhamstein?

Only if they have covered a 1968 song. So there's a clue.

That’s some round from Rahm

As a man, he accepted the challenge of destiny. Reaching deep into his soul, he found the courage that only the truly great can exploit. With that timeless marriage of skill, finesse, and perfection of execution, he moved to that elevated level of human achievement, that many dream of, but so few can unlock. Tapping into the history and spirits of great deeds and heroes of yore, he challenged the gods of golfing legend, and carved his own entry in the annals of this noblest of pursuits.

Why does that make me want to spend too much on some wrist jewellery?

 

[Orikoru]

Sky commentary is much better without Paul McGinley, they just need rid of Laura Davis now.

And someone needs to stop Faldo and his Beatles references.

He just did it again before the ad break.

 

[Backache]

I have to admit it makes me want to puke rather than buy expensive watches.
That word salad always irritates.

Tbf if you’re in Liverpool you do get the Beatles rammed down your throat

He'd be livid

Is it me or are there as many or more muppets shouting out stupid things, not necessarily in an American accent, at the Open as in a normal PGA Tour event?

 

[AmandaJR]

Haven't ever seen much of Harman but a minimum of TEN waggles before every shot is doing my head in!

 

[Slab]

Think I'd prefer if players just swore rather than taking a chunk out of the ground with club

Not just you. Very annoying. I think there should be a local rule that if you’re standing next to someone who shouts out something moronic after a shot, you can punch them in the face.

One of the commentators raised this earlier in the day. There is definitely a thing happening. Sadly......

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