Well, the last major of the year kicks off in a few hours. Field seems fairly wide open this year and luck of the draw usually plays a role here too.

Should be fun and I love some early morning golf on TV!

Good reminder to drop a wager or two.

Excited for this - early coverage on USA and Peacock. My son was born on 7/18 6 years ago and one of my favorite (golf watching) memories was watching the Open Championship while holding him at all hours of the night in the hospital as a newborn.

Major season goes too fast. At least this is a Ryder Cup year and still have that to look forward to. But love this major with the history, courses, and weather. Can't wait.

rain every day...best days look like early round 1 and saturday. Late tee times tomorrow appear to be on the wrong side of the draw.

My son was 6 months old when I watched the 2009 British Open all weekend while watching him with my wife out of town.

Best British Open in last 20 years in my opinion, to watch 60 year old Tom Watson almost win the trophy, and should have if not for Cink sinking a 25' foot putt. Still wish he would have made that putt on 18.

Played Portrush a few years ago and enjoyed the course. I can't imagine playing it from the tees these guys are using. The 600+ par 5 was nowhere near the yardage we played.

I can't tell if Scheffler hates links golf or if the weather has him annoyed. He birdied 7 so should not be too aggravated.

We got so lucky with the weather in late April.

I am sitting in the grandstand between the 13th and 17th greens.

Wyndham Clark just lost his ball in the tall stuff to the left of 13 and had to go back and re-tee.

They better make sure security accompanies him in the locker room.

Good. I've developed a strong dislike of that guy. And good on Oakmont for banning him.

Have a blast today! I'm jealous.

His manager might want to buy the one for sale in this forum, just in case.

Hope he does something stupid so Royal Portrush can ban him like Oakmont did.

He looked like he was steaming as he climbed into the cart to be driven back to the tee. They had 6 people looking in an area no more than about 8 feet square. Can't believe they couldn't find it.

Listening to the broadcast following Rose, Dechambeau and MacIntyre they talk up the wind so much on putting and small little chip and pitch shots. It doesn't look that windy and they said 15-20 mph at one point. I've played in those kind of winds and never think about that close to the green.

Funny they were being critical of Bryson's scientific approach to the game (which he had a bad round) but yet a 12 ft putt or a 20 yd chip out of the rough they'd bring up the wind and direction.

Wind 100% matters on chips and pitches. It drastically changes the way the ball reacts because of the spin differential. (Way more spin into the wind, way less spin and more run-out when downwind).

20MPH wind will also affect putts… making them break more/less and making them drastically slower/faster.

All of this is ESPECIALLY true on links courses where the greens are so exposed by nature.

Jason - what the hell is this???

I've come to enjoy the Jason Day wardrobe WTF's. I find it funny and it seems like there is always at least one of those during every major now. It's kind of become his thing, like John Daly and the goofy pants.

I love the Open. Like the golf courses and I'm a morning person.

Still cracks me up how golf announcers whisper at times. Alrighty

Tight leaderboard. Setting up for a good weekend.

Edit to add - assuming Scottie doesn't go out and shoot a 65 this afternoon.

I like it

The Malbon stuff is cool. I'm old and fat so I couldn't pull if off but I like it.

Phil's playing with an ex-felon.

Interesting story...

Man when Scottie is hitting his irons that well on days 1 & 2,
hard to see him not being in the final group on Sunday.

He's making it look like a stroll in the park the last hour or so. Look out, field.

Yeah. If Scottie keeps this up, I'm afraid we may be looking at an anti-climatic Sunday.

On a side note, Tiger's final rounds were usually "don't make a mistake, shoot 70, and make someone chase you down" and I was riveted. Scottie is much the same, but for some reason, I don't get near the joy out of watching Scottie do it.

Tiger = MJ
Scottie = Tim Duncan

Both all time greats but one is more exciting to watch than the other.

Oh he's gonna be pissed but I think he clearly hit that brown stick on the practice swing that moved his ball
