Golf 2022....

You haven't even mentioned that there is a road and stonewall behind the green that isn't just in play but not that far away from where you're actually supposed to be playing the ball to.

I love it so much.

Whoever has the lead coming up the 17th, or if it's tied up, expect them to go left of the green and avoid everything. Most likely you won't be on the green, but the pin is usually towards the left, on the Sunday.
Really is the smart play. little up and down.

Some shots today, not like those fired elsewhere, but this is a gentlemans game...

16 under par after three rounds. The clubs and balls have reduced the British Open to looking like the Bob Hope Desert Classic.

Toriest of Tory sports.. possibily only edged out by Foxhunting and Slave wrestling.
I'll stick to F1 and Tennis

Right, I was just mentioning the stuff that a TV camera lens distorts.

They always score like this at St. Andrews this century. It's a very short course as majors go, much less one with a par of 72. Winner generally finishes between 15 and 20 under, if the weather is good. Faldo won at 19 under in 1990. The last time the pros didn't score like that here in good weather, they were hitting balata balls. They still usually won here at around 10 under in an era when you could win majors with a score over par.

Par is an arbitrary and irrelevant number anyway. The course is doing its job. It sifted out some of the best players in the world, as it generally does. It's a good track for a Duel in the Sun showdown. Should be fun.

It's very noticeable that NBC is not showing Dustin Johnson even though he is 12 under par and 2 under par on the day. Not that i want him to win but i think it shows an agenda.

The best outcome from needlessly antagonizing the people you buy the broadcast rights from is a price hike. I don't blame them one bit.

Let's keep responsibility for the feud where it belongs: on the Tour, the Saudis and Norman.

Fantastic stuff from Cam Smith here

 

[Maxwell]

Boooo, Cam Smith

Got a feeling McIlroy was just trying to cruise in. Needs to up his putting game.

Hard to turn it on when you've been playing safety first.

His putt length has been excellent all day.

But yeah, a bit more aggressive would have helped his cause.

Can't see Smith getting a 4 on 17. If he does he's a worthy winner.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very disappointing as a Rory fan, but was an incredible 4. Cant argue he doesnt deserve it

 

[tommye]

That's a shot from Rory

Just give us a play off you slags
