lichtie23 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Wind has got up today and the course playing a lot harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Got to admit I'm not a major golf fan only the majors but do you guys agree with me in saying that it's better to watch when the course is really tough? I remember Padraig Harrington winning at Birkdale at about 5-over. Couple of US opens and Masters been even worse than that iirc. Not really a fan of seeing tons of guys go under par in majors.

Yea I love seeing a challenging course where level par is a good round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Don't know why but other than Ernie Els, I can't stand South African golfers. Tiger needs a birdie up the last to make the weekend. My 4 bets are pretty much humped although 3 of them should make the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Everyone teeing off between 9am and 11am today due to the weather. Two tee start, playing in three balls. http://www.theopen.com/en/News/LatestNews/2014/07/Friday/Revised-Format-for-the-Third-Round.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I had 2.50 e/w on Poulter (MC), same on Gallacher (-2). I'm hoping with the wild weather that McIlroy drops back into the pack for tomorrow, to make it more interesting, but not too confident of that.

I hope he does too, I've got 2quid e/w on Dustin Johnson. McIlroy bunkered on the first, Johnson with a two footer for birdie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed Johnson at Carnoustie in the Dunhill links in 2012 and what really pissed me off about him was the amount of spitting he done. He would literally spit before and after every shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I know Peter Alliss has been a great commentator over the years, but it really is beyond time they pensioned him off. That nonsense at the 17th yesterday when McIllroy missed the green and the constant harping back to the 1950s and 1960s is beyond a joke now. He is completely out of touch with the modern game and the way it is played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Is there a worse nickname in Golf, or indeed anywhere, than 'G-Mac'? Absolutely rank chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I suspect (hope) Alliss will bow out next year as it's at St Andrews. For me, he jumped the shark when he failed to recognise Mickelson's putt on the 72nd green had won him the 2004 Masters, so that was 10 years ago. I like Sam Torrance when he was on, don't think he has been for a few years. As to the golf, I'd like McIlroy to win but it would be good if he and / or someone else made it interesting.

I think the quality of the BBC team generally is very good. Golfers tend to be articulate and intelligent so there are plenty out there who would be worth listening to. I'd like to see it mixed up a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
