There’s only really one player that’s went really low
-11 would be a pretty fair score for a major imo

Yeah, he literally just wandered around making the course look easy while all those chasing made it look as hard as it really is.
A truly great performance from the undisputed best player in the world right now.

Well played Scottie, but let's move on now as it only meant something to him for a couple of minutes didn't it? 
It's the same at most links courses when the weather is calm. They are frequently a bit toothless if the wind and rain don't come, for the pro's.
Also, remove Scheffler from the equation. That's about right for a final day leaderboard.

The only 2 things I dislike about The Open...?
The build up and the dissection afterwards...
TV off...good job done Scottie..

One of the most unflappable golfers I’ve seen in years. Not a huge fan of any tournament being won by a street, but I like Scheffler and his all round game has, once again, been faultless.

If that's how you've taken his comments then you've completely missed the point.....Well played Scottie, but let's move on now as it only meant something to him for a couple of minutes didn't it?

I’m not sure what you’ve been watching but that’s some statement given the event that we’ve just witnessed. Argueably the most scenic venue on the current rota, the biggest crowds (apart from St.Andrew’s) on the rota and a course universally praised by all the pros. Scoring was pretty low because of the perfect weather (lack of wind), the receptive fairways and greens and the pristine condition of the course. Maybe you’d prefer to see the players blown sideways by the wind on the North Atlantic coast. Well played Scottie

I feel like Royal Portrush is becoming a very popular Open venue… It’s certainly up there for me as one of the best. I don’t buy into the St Andrews stuff as much as everyone else seems to.
Scottie was brilliant. I don’t really think he hit top gear either.

Agreed. Looks a top quality venue, and certainly a more enjoyable links from a TV viewer’s perspective than many.

Having activated Sky sports for a month, I have to say SS has immense control from anywhere, apart from trying to drive the ball through a rivetted bunker face.
How he manages to control his ball from deep rough is well beyond me
As for watchability, that is miles better than St Andrews.

But also a sad day as Bob Bubka has sadly passed.
What a voice, he'll be sorely missed.

A few good holes but looked pretty easy all in all. Maybe just me but I'd much rather see a level par score winning at a brutal carnoustieI’m not sure what you’ve been watching but that’s some statement given the event that we’ve just witnessed.

To each his own I guess but I think I know which most viewers would prefer.

It doesn't worry me what score wins with respect to par and I enjoyed the course and the tournament but I find links golf at its most compelling to watch the pros when the fairways and greens are a bit more fiery or the winds a bit stiffer than they were this week and preferably a bit of both.
When was the last time the weather really kicked in at The Open? I can't think of one in recent times. Maybe the odd session but not over a few days to really rough players up.
Is that my memory playing tricks? When was the last time?
