Put $10 on Spieth so hopefully that pays off (was looking for guys who don't have to bomb the ball and have great short games and putting since driver will be taken out of many of the players' hands at Birkdale.

(Also put $10 on Mickletits and Stricker.)

I'm thinking Zach Johnson, who is +4 at the moment.

This is the only week of the year you'll ever hear the word "fescue".

Fescue's everywhere, isn't it? When I think British Open, I hear "gorse"

Yeah, but you never hear your father-in-law complaining about the "fescue" in his backyard though.

I actually have a tall fescue problem in my yard at the moment.

It sucks.

The ability to go straight from the finish of west coast baseball to the early tee times at the Open is a legit civilization advancement

Why is everyone so high on Jon Rahm? He melts in the big tourneys again and again.

He's super young, isn't he? Or foreign? Both?

Both. ANd he has potential, sure, but he's gotta get out of his own way.

Big bounceback from ZJ. 66, which is about 9 strokes better than the average today.

Chris Wood just eagled 18 to go from outside the cut to inside.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:21 am

That's a pretty good name for a golfer when you think about it

It's so brutal out there that the cut has dropped to +5. He only needed par.

Yeah, I figured that would happen, but as he was paying he probably thought he needed a birdie.

That music NBC are using is killing me, this Open is in England not Scotland, lose the bagpipe effects FFS

Totally opposite today. Scoring record might be broken

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 9:50 am

And yup. Brendan grace just shot 62.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 8:44 am

I'm pulling for koooooooch.

Li is probably taking a nap

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 11:18 am

The only thing missing from that scene is somebody rolling a cheese wheel down the hill.

For a second talented as he is he sure gets in bad positions sometimes. I think I've said this before but he may be a Michelson type who figured out how to win earlier instead of tiger.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 11:27 am

spieth is an incredibly slow player anyway and this sure doesn't help.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 11:41 am

Was a single Haotong Li shot shown on US television during the entire tournament? I wasn't awake yet, so I wouldn't know. Related question: is Haotong Li an actual person that really exists?

Post by **brian** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 11:46 am

Never seen someone shooting +3 in the final round of a major get fellated by announcers like this.

They picked him up about the last four holes of his round.

Great eagle by spieth.

I thought Hao Tong Li was a marine camp ambushed by the Viet Cong in the Central Highlands of Nam in '66.
