I might get a little excited when I get an Eagle but birdies..? Nah...
Some, however, get instant multiples when they get a par......no names mentioned....ðŸ‘

Yeah but I’m a 21 handicapper, I’m not supposed to get any pars
I’ll fist pump a par any day, a birdie ......anything could happen 😎

Drove it into water on 15, then into a bunker, skulled it across the green.... ended up with an 8. And he's now having a meltdown on 16

He went to do the one-handed tap in from 18 inches on 16, missed and left himself a 4 footer for double bogey. Straight out of the monthly medal!

Poulter’s Shank on 16 was special.

I backed Rahm so obviously want him to win.
But I wouldn’t be too disappointed if Rickie won it.

An American football crowd? Do expand. Don’t you mean English football crowd? Bunch of yobs acting unruly.
I find the whole stadium think quite contrived. It’s an average golf course at best and the 16th hole is the only thing that separates it from every other tour event.
It’s not about the golf in anyway shape or form, it’s about people getting smashed in a large crowd - golf just happens to be going on alongside it.
It wouldn’t work over here. 30k fans would be full of kids (that’s a good thing) it would be raining and I doubt we’d even be allowed beer in the stands

One of my favourite tournaments of the year. 216k fans in one day, what a turnout.
For those who think it is too lively you have 51 weeks of the year to enjoy your stuffy tournaments. This one is an absolute breath of fresh air.

Having watched this tournament for years one of the notable things is that the crowd used to be absolutely quiet until the player hit the ball. Now you can hear a lot of noise at all times and the noise levels are noticeable from the spectators all round the course not just the 16th.
I still love watching it but how long before other tournaments stop having spectators keep quiet during the shots?

Tbf, with over 200,000 people in attendance plus tv cameras and microphones everywhere the noise will be amplified, add in the 16th which is almost stadium like, mix in alcohol and the course is flat, the noise will travel.

i just see 200,000 morons in one place
HID and I have been going to tournaments since the 80's. We commented after our last visit to the Open that the crowds aren't as quiet, nor always listen when the Marshalls say stop walking. No where near like he WMO but its creeping in anyway.

The attendance on 3rd day exceeded the population of Scottsdale - that's an attraction!

Loads of players in contention - I'm thinking playoff already!
