How’s everyone enjoying the coverage?

 

Sure beats watching idiots on Sky News arguing over Brexit, or whether it's okay to call Donald Trump a racist.

Done a 3 ball bet but thought Tommy Fleetwood at 25/1 was a good choice.

[Ro Sham Bo]

I've only caught bits of it because I'm at work, but I've not seen a single shot of MacIntyre's shown.

[Distant Doonhamer]

Good to see MacIntyre Knox and Syme all under par.

MacIntyre tied for the lead after 17 holes. Imagine on your rookie year as a tour pro, walking round the course on your first Open and seeing your name at the top of the leaderboard. Something he'll never forget.

David Duval racking up double figures 

 

Ends with a 13, highest score at an individual hole since they started keeping hole by hole records in 1983. Included playing the wrong ball. 48 at the turn.

And that after birdies on 1 and 2 [emoji23]

Boab McIntyre bogeys the last to finish 3-

Laura Davies is an awful summariser. Adds nothing of note.

Great start for him, playing without the burden of me having backed him like I did last week. [emoji23]

[lichtie23]

To be fair to Rory he is battling away well and giving himself chances

Agreed. Dreadful start but he’s battled well given his head must have been scrambled early on.

[peasy23]

Rory! What are you doing?

So I missed Rory's start, but from what I'm reading he took an iron off the tee for safety and put it OB? Then doubled down by putting it in knee deep rough with his second attempt, and had to take a penalty for an unplayable up near the green? Sounds like me on a Saturday!

Correct.

Sore one for G Mac as he loses his ball on 18, back to the tee to hit another.

Sky have Sarah Stirk though. So it’s not all doom and gloom.

Shocker of a finish from G-Mac

Casey kicking Mcilroy n Woodlands butts, but Sky not showing any of him !!! [emoji35]

To get an idea of my own golf game, just picture Rory’s 1st and G Mac’s 18th, replicated another 16 times.

Fleetwood, Koepka and Spieth starting well this afternoon.
