The Open Thread 2016

Got the iPad setup next to my desk at work with my headphones on watching it on SkyGo. :D

Full respect to Monty though. Doing that on the first hole must have been gutting for him. But how he's responded, he has gone up in my estimation. Never been his biggest fan but found myself really rooting for him this morning.

Gave it all back on the back 9, level ok but will be 7 back by tonight, there's a 64 out there somewhere!

Lyle +10 after 14, annoying me that he wastes his and everyone's time still entering these things.

Yeah, real shame as that was a cracking front 9 after that start.
 
See Bubba drove the 3rd (video link on open website leaderboard) with players on the green ahead, poor form, he must know he can hit it that far and should wait shouldn't he, or would that put him on a time penalty??:p
 
Rory doing his usual attempt to overpower the course with every drive. Has played some great recoveries to stay in the frame but frustrates the hell out of me.

Yep, should take leaf out of Tigers book on course management, 2006 Tiger played 1 drive in 4 rounds at Liverpool yet won handsomely.
 
if you dont post a score on the front ,you certainly arent going to on the back nine .
its looking like its going to be a very interesting open this time around.
bring it on . :thup:
 
Our local boy Scott Gregory had a great start, but if he was hoping to pick some tips up off the professionals, he shouldn't have been paired with Lyle & Duval!

hes a good mate of mine, gutted to see him shoot 45 on the back 9. i agree being paired with two guy that didnt break 80 is a little harsh! they are ceremonial players
 
Fragger on the course here :)
Having a wonderful time, great golf, lovely weather (today) walking the course with Mike H, pieman , Jimeroid and Beezerk popping into hospitality for the odd beer

Tough life indeed :) 😎

Another GM fantastic day out

Uh oh, supermod is back. Stop swearing lads :eek:
 
Looks like all my pre tournament confidence in DJ was misplaced. Spraying the driver around on the range and continued that on to the first tee.

Shouldn't Pieman be off negotiating with some Europeans instead of watching golf?
