Birdied the first but bogeyed 2nd. Currently on two over and tied 87th Pundits suggesting that the cut line might well end up at two over.

doulikefish Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 19 minutes ago, Distant Doonhamer said: Rory firmly into reverse again. Errant drive at first followed by a miraculous 2nd from the hay, backed up by a three putt for a bogey. Awful wedge shot after a perfect drive at 2nd and another bogey. Rory in a nutshell. He'll likely still shoot 66! We are nearly at the " only Rory can win it from here" stage of Mcginley commentary 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be handy if the cut was that, was getting a bit worried scoring would be high today and leave Bob with a bit of work to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Morikawa seems to be hitting all of his seconds from about 80 yards in the middle of the fairway, unreal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulous play from him again. Poor tee shot there though. His iron play and distance control is absolutely top drawer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Work for MacIntyre to do. Currently sitting on 3 over after 7 holes. Some of tv pundits suggesting two over might make the cut but cut predictor thing I look at suggesting one over more likely as things stand. https://datagolf.com/live-predictive-model 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see how he putts over the weekend when the greens speed up as they surely will. Fantastic player but his putting can be fragile as shown by last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him, the first few minutes where he talked about Morikawa's iron play, and when he played with Payne Stewart in 93, was really good. He has since reverted to "Rory is only a birdie or two away" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic player but his putting can be fragile as shown by last week. I think he's the best ball striker in the game, by a decent distance too. Almost at Tiger levels. You're right about the putting though, the course has been relatively soft the first 2 days, with plenty watering being done, be interesting to see if they just let it go over the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very surprised if they don't allow the course to really firm up over the weekend. Hope they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Interesting that they are still going on about Rory trying to make improvements with the driver, when it's been clear for years that it's his short irons that are killing him. No point bombing it 340 if you're shite from 120 and in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I like to think if I ever made it to the Open, then I'd stroll about like it's a Tuesday bounce game the same way Marcel Siem is. I'd be more likely to be playing at St Andrews and miss the 1st and 18th fairways both days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
