The Open 2017

No pictures of Rory from today?

[Rois]

Rory did very well today but too many bogies. Prob more birdies than Speith but not enough

We remarked about Rory's following this weekend - there was a definite hysteria. He has so much pressure from the crowd. Never realised it was this mad. The Brits definitely love him as their own.

Amazing how Spieth came back from what looked like disaster on the 13th

Like I said he is a machine.
Orior will be sickened 

You betcha. Sick as a parrot.

If I was an official, I was deduct Spieth 2 shots for slow play, but the fecker would still win.

Why do you not like Spieth Orior ? Always seems a decent enough sort.

Because he is better than Mcilroy 

Speith does indeed seem a decent bloke. He does a good bit of work for the special Olympics and has said many times in interviews his sister who has special needs is his inspiration.

I backed Kucher and for once cashed out at nearly the right time. I had him backed and 60s and cashed out at about 40s. Brilliant viewing. Speiths mental strength to come back from the crazy stuff was amazing.

To be honest, I don't really know.

Maybe LL is right, and it is just that he might take Rory's crown. Plus the slow play.

Thanks Jordan - a nice $260 return

[Minder]

Be interesting to see how many majors he ends up with, I don't see anyone dominating and you would assume he has the next decade at his peak. Mind you a golfers peak can come and go very quickly

how is this cashing out at the right time?  when he was odds on was the time to cash out

I'm guessing he got the equivalent of backing him at 40s back which would mean Kuchar was odds on at that stage? About a 1/2 shot I'd say..

Speith would be short enough odds next month! The Irish lads (bar Rory) had a nightmare

Looked on betfair this evening he's 15/2, Mcilroy 9/1, DJ 10/1

Lads, why do people involve in golf insist on using the word 'golf' before the other nouns related to the game. I've never seen any other sport do it as much.

It's always a fantastic 'golf course'. The 17th is a spectacular 'golf hole'. And Rory hit a wonderful 'golf shot' as he mastered the 'golf ball'.

Would there be confusion if it was a fantastic course, a spectacular hole and a wonderful shot with the ball?

Roy Keane and others are always talking about "the football club" which I always found strange.

Never noticed it with golf.

[AZOffaly]

That's true. The 'Football Club' does seem to be a term widely used. But you rarely hear about the 'Football', the 'Football Pitch' or the 'Football Stadium'. And you never hear that was a fantastic Football Shot
