The British Open 2014

[Milltown Row2]

Middle-sized Darren on the march. The lure of the egg salad will put his head away on the back 9 though.

He really looks in good shape.

Rory with back to back birdies - 2 ahead now

Very good - in fairness he doing ok. Must have are some salads to lose 4 stone.

Read somewhere that it has messed with his co-ordination for the back swing but no doubt when he gets that sorted he will pile the pounds on again and it will be a fecked up again !!!!

[deiseach]

Am I a bad person for hoping this might be Sergio's year, even at Rory's expense? The same would be true even if it were any of the other Irish lads.

3 bogeys in the last 4. When his head goes, it goes.

If it's down to Sergio and McIlroy on the back 9 on Sunday I'll be shouting for Sergio.

I heard the same here in the US on ESPN a few weeks ago and got my back up, meant to send them a note to get their crap together. At least they didn't say he was from Westmeath or Leix

McIlroy would romp it - Sergio is a big a choker as there is on tour and I have backed the fecker loads of times. Rory would eat him alive!!!!!

Sergio devours the weaker players on your but can't handle Tiger or other big players on the back 9. Tiger scares his lights out .....
