The Open Championship Thread **May have spoilers**

Maybe its time for a new rule , snap your club in temper and you play without the club for the rest of the open , that make them think twice ........................EYG
 
Anyone care to speculate on how many balls today's players would have lost if there had been no grandstands crowds or spotters.

I agree. Some pretty wild stuff at time. Mind you if some on here had set the course up, it would have been H&S compliant and so all balls would be found and no injuries caused :rofl:

I wonder how many years from now before players are obliged to fill in a risk assessment before playing in majors like the Open and US Open with the thick rough
 
Now there's a daft rule that could be eliminated in golf, with Mickleson 1st ball in the cabbage and provisional down the middle, if he or anyone finds his original and his only option is go back to the tee, he can't go play his provisional and must go back to the tee.

Kinda half agree with this, if a penalty drop is a valid option but its tough to get into an acceptable position then having a ball down the middle gives a little advantage as it gives a choice to take the good position of the provisional or try a tough shot to get better, but yes I agree it's something to consider.
 
Whilst Tiger is chopping from one side to the other, how about his FCs play Ready golf to give the lad a chance? :rofl:
 
I fancy McIlroy for a 2 under today. Hold his nerve for a Friday (for a change) and then push on over the weekend to win. No-one seems to be making a real charge to take the tournament by the scruff and make the rest of the field chase them down.
 
BBC do mini report on Rory - averages 5 shots worse on round 2 against round 1 in Open.
Lets see how he goes (3 joint lead) as he is about to tee off in hi-vis yellow belt & hat.
Must not want to get hit!

Driver....ripped and runs into first cut on right, good start.
