The 150th Open | St Andrews | 10-17 July 2022

[ztejas 43190]

Flipped on sportscenter. First clip is the Rory chip. Then they show the radio feed. Then more and more Rory stuff.

Golf needs him right now. As cheesy as that sounds. Tiger is getting closer and closer to being totally done.

Good little read. Does well to capture the moment.

There’s a hole at Riviera (pretty sure that’s the course, but not certain) with a bunker in the middle of the green.  You’ll see some guys hit a wedge there if they are badly out of  position. Not really a problem with the pros, but I could see the groundskeeping crew having a problem with members gouging the greens.

I know the 16th at the Valero in San Antonio is set up that way 

 

 

[ztejas 43190]

Bump.

Overcast skies today in Fife, but the weather conditions don't seem to be all that different than yesterday.

Scheffler, Cam Smith, and Fleetwood can get on heaters and go really low sometimes.  Scottie shot a 59 at The Northern Trust in 2020.

Hope one of them gets it going early to make this final round even more exciting...

Hovland sighting on the range. Head to toe navy blue. No orange Julius wardrobe in effect.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9273]

R&A not playing with that pin on the first. That's what...15 feet from the burn?

[EastTexan 662]

I will declare chap, that the blokes manning the cameras ain't very good at their fucking job.

I'm thankful it wasn't Tiger that holed it from the bunker.

Birdie #2 Spieth 💥  -9

[Wulaw Horn 18936]

They are torching this course. Winning score likely to be lowest in the history of a major (relationship to par). 

[LTtxfan 48823]

Birdie #3 Spieth 💥.  -10

[Wulaw Horn 18936]

Jordy on fire. Missed 6 footer on 1 from a Turkey to start his round. 
If he can shoot 60 maybe he’s got a chance (still not likely good enough). I know, I know- he’s not shooting 60.  But if it was ever going to happen it’s be at a course like this where you could have 6 eagle putts in a round.

and runnnnnnnn……

[Wulaw Horn 18936]

Spieth 2 inches from 4 under through 4. Needs an eagle here on 5. Great tee shot. He’s dialed in today.

Nice approach on #5 by Spieth with driving long iron...

[LTtxfan 48823]

Cantlay eagles #5 💥💥   -10

Scottie’s days of making putts have come to an end. It was a pretty good run.

[LTtxfan 48823]

The dang drone shadows today look like rodents running across the greens... 😂😂😂

He looked good on the putting green.  Bit harder to follow from the course.

And we have a zinger "putter head" remark.

Dumb

[Revolution512 1465]

That was the first tentative/wobbly stroke I’ve seen from Rory

[GhostOfTomJoad 9273]

Jordan with a dart on 7. Staring another birdie down.

[Pato del Muerto 52233]

Nobody in these last groups has dropped a decent putt yet. 

[The Dude 1244]

If the leaders keep just treading water this could get real fun

[ConferenceRoom 6123]

Dumb

Yes, you are.

[Pato del Muerto 52233]

Well there’s one from cam young

[LTtxfan 48823]

Birdie #7 Spieth💥   -12

Rory didn’t have a birdie until 5 yesterday. It’s a long round. 

[LTtxfan 48823]

Spieth with unforced error on tee shot par 3 #8.   Gonna be a tough 2 putt for par

[Pato del Muerto 52233]

Hovland sure isn’t rolling in 30 footers early like yesterday.

Bogey on #8 Spieth...   -11

[LTtxfan 48823]

Cam Smith and Cam Young heating up -14 (5) and 2 back.  

[GhostOfTomJoad 9273]

Rory staring down an eagle putt while the best Hovland can do is birdie. Great opportunity for Rory to get some separation.

 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9273]

Birdie for Rory and par for Vik. Rory's picked up 2 shots in the last 2 holes.

[LTtxfan 48823]

Spieth chokes on short birdie attempt #9

What a poor tentative stroke on that putt

[4th&Five 41444]

-20 looks pretty good.

Birdie #10     back to -12

[GhostOfTomJoad 9273]

Great approach on the par 3 by Jordan. Another birdie putt coming.

If Rory stays out of trouble spots, it's gonna be hard to beat him if he shoots a 68 to get to -20

Chokes on 4 ft birdie putt on #12

[ztejas 43190]

Oh boy Cam Young. 

[LTtxfan 48823]

So 69 (-3) is the scoring average today.
