The Open Championship at Royal St George's

[CPA-hole]

That pin placement on 16 is diabolical.

Is Rahm done if anyone gets to -12 at the end of the day?

IMO - yes. But, if it stays at -11, he has a chance

 

[bones]

Is Rahm done if anyone gets to -12 at the end of the day?

I'm sure there are stats on this in Majors. I'll look tonight

 

[KJ]

Is Rahm done if anyone gets to -12 at the end of the day?

If he just goes slinging like he said he would tomorrow, that's the wild card. Gonna have to get lucky with wind

 

[B.A.R.]

Is Rahm done if anyone gets to -12 at the end of the day?

Yes.
Weather just too nice.

 

[B.A.R.]

Looks to be shaping up as a Morikawa and Spieth duel.

Ideally they get a few birdies early tomorrow and get into match play.

Louie is falling apart.

OT nice comeback by man bun...very happy for him.

 

[CPA-hole]

Good for Siem.

 

[B.A.R.]

You could say that rham shoots 64

That's 14.

Feel like Jordan or Collin is at 12 by end here.

Louie be at 9, Connors 8... Fritslli isn't a factor.

Thing is this course isn't built for early birdies, will be curious to see how the guys that go out earlier do on the back 9 when they're just firing away, never know how that will play with these two if a couple numbers get posted early

 

[CPA-hole]

Big putt by Louie.

Just missing the weather element

Most famous I remember is obviously Norman collapse Masters and also the Paul Lowrie 10 shots back at Carnoustie..(Van De Velde)

It isn't but Spieth has had great success in first 7 holes.

 

[B.A.R.]

Great shot Collin.

 

[B.A.R.]

Great shot Collin.

And Louie on top

Lol. I was just gonna type this. I totally forgot Lowrie was 10 back.

 

[B.A.R.]

Lol. I was just gonna type this. I totally forgot Lowrie was 10 back.

Our guy Justin Leonard was in the playoff too.

 

[bones]

Louie makes good swing on 16....that's what I'm watching. He really shows some fortitude if he can be -1 on last 3

 

[bones]

Lol. I was just gonna type this. I totally forgot Lowrie was 10 back.

Van de Velde made a great final putt to get in playoff too

 

[CPA-hole]

Van de Velde made a great final putt to get in playoff too

Did he really think that putt won it for him?

 

[KJ]

Our guy Justin Leonard was in the playoff too.

The real issue is there isn't a Van de Velde anywhere I can see on the leaderboard

Can't remember the Ben Curtis win here, did he go wire to wire?

 

[CPA-hole]

What a great birdie from Louie.

 

[RBTrojan]

I think spieth around the greens is magical. Why is he using the putter from off the green?

 

[bones]

Did he really think that putt won it for him?

No. He made a 6 footer for triple 7

How Jean van de Velde famously threw away The Open

Jean van de Velde's collapse at Carnoustie in 1999 will go down as one of the biggest meltdowns in sports history. With The Open back at Carnoustie, we relive the mess.

I just remember the commentator asking by his reaction, Did he think that won the tournament?

Nope. He was pumped to not make a snowman and get in playoff

 

[B.A.R.]

Did he really think that putt won it for him?

No, he was just so pumped to finish that hole imo.

 

[B.A.R.]

In real time that felt like a 45 min hole

 

[KJ]

Nope. He was pumped to not make a snowman and get in playoff

What's funny is how easy it is to remember the 18th but I don't remotely recall the playoff

 

[CPA-hole]

Also, I miss Peter Aliss. Just not the same without hearing him for a bit.

Lawrie was not a household name

 

[B.A.R.]

Can't remember the Ben Curtis win here, did he go wire to wire?

No Ben didn't.

Bjorn was up 1 on #16 but he took 3 to get out of the bunker. That is the lasting memory of 2003.

 

[KJ]

Lawrie was not a household name

Amazing he was composed enough to win the playoff after all of that, watching someone hack around surely couldn't be comfy going into it

 

[B.A.R.]

This was 2003 leaderboard entering Sunday.

I left the note at the top

That's nuts

The best.

The TweeterAlliss account retired after his passing... Great account...

Also, it's been several years but miss The Open / European Tour starter. Ivor Robson?

Yes. That dude had some bladder. Lol. Said he never had to take a bathroom break in all those years.

 

[B.A.R.]

Nope

One sandwich and a water? Something like that for 12+ hours on the opening days of the championship.

 

[B.A.R.]

I was out of room... How Jordy bogey 17?

He was like 80 away after his drive?

 

[KJ]

Wow JS

 

[CPA-hole]

Whoa.

 

[B.A.R.]

Wtf

This guy making me look bad bahahahaha.

Came up on the false front from 80 and rolled back

 

[B.A.R.]

Gotcha, plausible.

 

[bones]

Spieth's mind has to be a little hazy....he fucked up badly at 14 & 17, not to mention 18. He is done?

 

[RBTrojan]

That was ugly

 

[B.A.R.]

Maybe Rahm etc are in it ....

Wow.

15-18 today was and still pending... something...

 

[B.A.R.]

Spieth's mind has to be a little hazy....he fucked up badly at 14 & 17, not to mention 18. He is done?

Yes he did.

Easy up n down on the Par 5...

17 obviously

Horrid 3 jack on 18

That's 3-4 shots.
