Rory having a nightmare on the greens, looks like he's done and dusted for this year.

He's putting like I am at the moment, not a good place to be :rofl:
Love the look of the course, definitely one I fancy playing now.

The difference is.. Your putts are for birdie, his are for Par
Another 8 footer for Par for him coming up..

It looks superb doesn't it.
I'm surprised to hear its the weakest on the Open rota and only 29th in the GM Top 100. 17 places behind Hoylake sound a bit harsh.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen him miss 5 or 6 of those 4 footers and they have all been weak pushes. Someone could check the stats but when I'm watching him he's missing more and more of those putts and it's turning him into an also ran!
Interesting to hear Faldo just say he doesn't rate it as one his favourite and that visually the holes just aren't as good as elsewhere. Still looks might impressive to me and that back nine takes no prisoners
I don't know if it has already been mentioned but Rory's top is truly hideous. It looks like it is one of those fake muscle fancy dress tops. Hope it gets consigned to the bin afterwards.

He looks like an armadillo - can't really see me rushing out to get one.:mmm:

What's going on with Phil's barnet? Is that a demiwave or a cheeky 60s style flick poking out the back if his cap

I was a wee bit disappointed when I played it. Definitely a great course but my least favourite of the open rota courses I've played. Probably didn't help that the greens weren't the best as they were obviously working to get them to peak this week.

I thought he was wearing a kevlar vest.
Looked like he was like Irish special forces or something

Oh well, two man shootout tomorrow - I make it 50/50, both really solid, experienced, winners. Dont expect either to choke but if I had to choose I'll go Phil, has just a few more shots in the bag than Stenson but he is trailing! Nicely set up.

His top is hideous and so are his clogs!

You have to fancy Phil tomorrow, he's been there and done it and Stenson will be bricking it big time.
Stenson will win a major and if he was up against a journeyman tomorrow I would fancy him.

I disagree, Stenson could've easily choked today when was 2 behind but he never and seen it out. I hope he wins it.
I hope the weather isn't as bad as friday morning though, it was atrocious just along the coast where we were playing at Prestwick St Nicholas.

Stenson has had 9 top 3 finishes in majors. He knows what it's like to be in contention.
Personally wother how erratic Phil can be off the tee at times I fancy Stenson to win.

Finishes yes but how many has he really contended in the last few holes and how many are top 3 finishes where he was never in with a shout of winning.

Until he wins one you have to question whether he can get the job done. There is no such question mark over Phil and I think that is worth a lot going into the the 4th round of The Open.
