Aye, the course is terrific just now, and the new bunkers have made a real difference to the look of the place. Having said that, the heather and wispy, hosel-grabbing rough have shot up over the last week or two, so there's a real premium in keeping it on the short stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way there's no chance it would be any more than a handful surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It could be he meant that anyone who makes the cut has a chance of qualifying for the Open? With this quality of field it's conceivable that someone outside the top 20 might still get a place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Irish last week when Forrest was tied 2nd with 2 other players, he would have missed out on the Open spot as he had the lowest world ranking of the players he was tied with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep if players are tied for the Open spots it's decided on world golf ranking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, I was being wistful, but the potential scenes a la Local Qualifying a couple of weeks back would've been a sight to behold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Watched some good golf yesterday, I continue to be amazed at how high Rory drives the ball, just incredible. Felt the crowd size was excellent, allowing you get around the course and see what you wanted without being 7 or 8 bodies deep. Funniest moment had to be Ian Poulter, noising up the crowd alongside a spectator in an England shirt with a flag. (Seen a few of those yesterday). Saying "it's coming home" repeatedly whilst waiting to tee off on a par 5. Eventually goes to tee off and some guy shouts C'mon Italy on his backswing causing a 30 yard slice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
