The Mum Shagging Open (2021)

[Pruitt]

That's the best Canadian leaderboard ever seen at a Major!

Guarantee they'll put Hughes and Conners together and NBC won't even bother following them.

Pairings are made by score and then last in first out rationale. They don’t make them for tv purposes.

Connors in next to last with sports. Hughes third from last.

We're going to see alot of Connors watching Spieth putt.

Have you people watched golf? They show the guys who are contending or the big names. If the Canadians get hot they will show them. If not they won’t.

[degenerasian]

Sure but I think it's getting more extreme. They show less shots. Scheffler, American, playing with Rahm in the 3rd to last group hasn't been shown at all. At least they showed both of Connors bogeys so I could turn the TV off.

Sadly, doesn't look like it will be an issue today.

I will agree that overall the coverage has not been good. Too many playing through commercial breaks. And I'm sick of Kate McKinnon.

The word you need to remember for next year’s Open is sesquicentennial

Someone doesn't know The Battle of Britain was 1940 not 1941

Should just be impressed when an American knows WWII started before December 1941.

Back nine needs Mor(ikawa) drama.

It was Feherety so should know better

If you want to feel old, Collin Morikawa was in utero when Tiger Woods won his first major.

[Rex]

In Utero was four years old when Morikawa was in utero

[HaulCitgo]

Kid was super solid. Like his game a lot. Big contrast. Ok maybe I just like the slow takeaway. Still I'm a new fan.

[BSF21]

Yeah, that was confusing. Nicklaus had less competition so it’s not apples to apples but 18 majors and 19 major runners-up is insane.

Oh I was just making a Swampcrash joke that everyone would have gone for Norman over the more obvious answer. Not a great effort on my part.

[Nonlinear FC]

I didn't find anything odd about the coverage, other than agreeing about too many Playing Throughs when things were on the line. Missed a clutch Rahm birdie and Siem holing a birdie on 18.

Not going to focus on a guy shitting the bed (Connors) once it was clear he wasn't going to rebound. They got hyped when he sunk that eagle, but then he fell back again and they moved on.
