The Open Championship Thread **May have spoilers**

Just watched Gary Player being interviewed,the man is as mad as a box of frogs. Nice bloke tho.
Usually agree with you pin man but I find Gary very interesting to listen to, he's not wrong about making the players need to choose driver over a 270 yd 4 iron.

He is also very witty, of his own Open victory when he was 4 shots clear with 2 holes to play (think that's what he said) he said "even Ray Charles would have won from there" :lol:
 
Woods still chomping it around the place _ nearly teddies out of the cot moment

It was more the way he was getting Dan Walker to punch his stomach,& bouncing around the studio like a Ninja turtle on amphetamines
That made me think he's slightly crazy(in a good way).
Hope I'm half as fit as him when I'm his age,Infact I'd be happy to be as fit as him now:mad:
 
Great 68 from Tom Watson

Thats a great round before the Seniors next week
 
There won't be a better round today than Watson's 68 according to old Peter.

I doubt that.

All depends what he means by 'better round'!

Looks likely there'll be a better score.

I don't think anyone else will get close to only shooting 4 shots more than their age though!
 
But he didnt say a better score.

He is 64 and went round in 4 under par - that is a cracking round of golf
 
67 in already.Just Alliss getting all dewy eyed and talking pish again I guess then.

If it's about Tom Watson, he's certainly allowed to by me!

There's not a better golfing ambassador nor all around nice guy than TW - though a few on a par!
 
A 67 to a 68 is a better round to me regardless of age,height,weather or any other factors.

Good round from the old boy but it's 4 under the card not 5.

Can you really not see what he is meaning ? Surely you are able to think a bit outside the box

It's pretty clear what he meant. A 68 from a 64 year old is a greater achievement than a 67 from someone 30 or 40 years younger. It's all about context. In the same way as a 70 in 30mph winds is better than a 69 on a calm day on the same course.

A 65 by a youngster has just been posted.Even better,by 3 funnily enough.
