all 3 players play 1 and 2, then over to 17 and 18.
Lowest score wins outright.
If still tied then replay 18 as sudden death until there's a winner.

At least another hour of nervy golf...

And by the way- ticket for the open today- ten quid!

and Jordan Spieth- major winner, major winner, one shot off a playoff???
that's one of the best years of golf in 50 years, if not the best.

it will be interesting to see how Spieth and Rory shape up over the next wee while.
It really does look as if they are a level above the rest of the pack when playing well

Don't mind who wins it now. Probably the lad without a major.

Finally in from work. I have Louis with a new account whose offer was treble the odds.

heganboy · July 20, 2015, 07:23:18 PM

Happily take my punt on Louis with Paddy P at 41-1

Not sure who I want to win this. Im not very fond of any of those guys. Its been exciting stuff today although I think I prefer when they struggle round Carnoustie in a hurricane than this although the Irish boys did their best to make it look unplayable today - very disappointing stuff. Dunne will learn from it but I cant believe how poor Padraig was today with all his experience, especially round St Andrews.

ZJ wins the Open!
fair play! can't believe L.O.'s putt stayed out.

Goes to show you don't have to be a boomer to win at St Andrews

Agreed, disliked them all. Do Americans get lessons at school at giving banal, shite, post-victory commentary? "She's my rock." FFS.

They speak a lot better and more eloquently than many other sportsmen

Don't judge everyone by your own low standards.

OK in fairness to Leishman I dont know much about him but the other two both lack any charisma but what do I know Bubba seems a likeable guy on TV but in reality is supposed to be intolerable.
