The Open Championship @ Royal Portrush Discussion / In-Game

[B.A.R.]

not a lot of birdies on 18 either

No miss. It would be one heck of a finish.

 

[B.A.R.]

Oh well, that missed 1 footer on 16 yesterday is the difference I guess.

 

[takeit]

Rory misses the cut and still has 19 contest points if he pars this. lol

 

[Gandolf]

Wonder what odds a person could've gotten by offering the prop that not only would Tiger, Phil, Marc Leishman, Ian Poulter and Adam Scott all miss the cut, but they would also all miss by 5 shots or more?

Rory McIlroy +550
Phil Mickelson +140
Marc Leishman +295
Gary Woodland +190
Jason Day +275
Bryson DeChambeau +225
Adam Scott +375

 

[LeRinkRat]

pulling for Lee Westwood to win his first ever major. he is in the second to last pairing with Tommy Fleetwood Saturday. Brooks Koepka just three shots back [-5] paired with Justin Rose is interesting

 

[B.A.R.]

Westwood and Fleetwood is a heck of a pairing...for many reasons...prolly best it's in NIReland this year instead of closer to home(more pressure).

 

[jimmymo]

Three match up for today.......

Koepka -110 over Rose
Fleetwood -150 over Westwood
Putnam -105 over Speith

 

[bones]

Koepka -120 over Rose for $150

 

[ProV1Colt]

Westwood!

 

[B.A.R.]

Westwood!

Yessir. And hoping my boy can finish off these last 7-8 holes strong (X).

 

[ProV1Colt]

Nice shot on the par 3 there

 

[Gandolf]

Terrific looking leaderboard

 

[scarf31]

Jesus, Brooks can’t hit a putt to save his life today.

 

[B.A.R.]

Jesus, Brooks can’t hit a putt to save his life today.

Nope. Not gonna happen for him this week.

 

[B.A.R.]

Great course but man the weather has been way too tame. This time yesterday it was said we'd get "Open" weather this weekend. This looks like a tournament in California. Fun leaderboard...hope Lee doesn't fall out ... My futures are all done...if Fleetwood wins I'm gonna be mad...same with Rickie ..had to ditch those guys a few majors ago. Enjoy the golf...I'll grade contest tomorrow afternoon.

 

[LeRinkRat]

Cheese LOU-ese!!! have NEVER seen Koepka so "loose" with his putter in a major

well FINALLY Koepka makes a birdie putt on a par four @ #14 to get to [-8]

 

[LeRinkRat]

and THEN the bugger bogies #15 to drop back to [-7]

thought my man "Rahmbo" was gonna charge after birdies on #14 #16 & #17 BUT bogies #18 for finish [-3] for tourney [-7] BUT he did shoot a final round [-8] to WIN the Irish Open @ the Lahinch GC two weeks ago ray:

 

[Teapot9]

Koepka is a goddamn machine

 

[B.A.R.]

Koepka is a goddamn machine

Down 7 strokes. The countryman running away with this...

Lowest 54-hole score in Open history. From a guy that looks like he could be at the corner of your local pub on his 4th Guinness and 2nd plate of mash and bangers...what a world we live in.

 

[PaintCrew]

Wind in the 20+ mph range tomorrow....this is far from over even with the moved up tee times. Should be fun....

 

[LeRinkRat]

well unless Shane Lowry does an "Oakmont" Sunday he should be the winner. 3rd round course record [-8] for tourney [-16] and a four shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood. weather is supposed to be horrible Sunday at Royal Portrush so we shall see what happens

 

[PaintCrew]

Lowry priced -165 at Ceasars

[Teapot9]

I got Lowry.....

Hope he comes through, I like the guy.

The Rory plays didn’t make sense to me, but I could see how people would be tempted to take it

He’s one of me!!

Cocker could go low. He has the ability to.
But to do I’m in a 4th Rd of a Major is the question

 

[jimmymo]

Who would you bet if I told you -12 would win in the shit tomorrow.......

 

[B.A.R.]

They keep saying that every day that conditions are coming and it's docile. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[RBTrojan]

Lowry did his best impression of the Bishop in Caddyshack today. Careers it on Saturday... I'll be shocked if he keeps any of that momentum going Sunday. Rooting for him but no way betting on him. Brooks is very tempting at 8-1.... Fleetwood -180 looks solid vs Lowry. Probably going to sit and just let the fan in me watch what should be a great final round...

 

[jimmymo]

Here we go for fourth round.........LFG

Fleetwood -165 over Lowry
Stenson -130 over Speith
Noren 125 over Kuchar
Rose -125 over Fowler
Thomas -140 over Reed

 

[Gandolf]

Lowry fortunate to smother that hook on first tee, any carry on it and he'd be hitting 3.

It's his week. Great 5.

 

[B.A.R.]

I cannot imagine @takeit is happy with Koepkas outfit.

 

[B.A.R.]

JT just lost all his front 9 momentum. Sucks, I want to see someone post a score early.

 

[Gandolf]

I cannot imagine @takeit is happy with Koepkas outfit.

Dressed like someone who only packed 5 days of clothes and is down to his last day.

 

[B.A.R.]

Yup, I've done it.

 

[B.A.R.]

He looks like a hot mess out there.

 

[B.A.R.]

And, as predicted, the weather isn't anywhere near what they expected ...so far.

 

[Gandolf]

If Rahm doesn't snap a club today I'll be disappointed.

 

[scarf31]

Cannot believe I’m going to lose both my tourney matchups in X and Stenson v. Molinari because the Italian hit the course before the shit got real. What a world. FML

 

[Gandolf]

Up until now the difference between JB Holmes and Shane Lowery has been about 5 pounds and a half inch of beard growth. Now it looks like there will be a bigger difference, a Claret Jug.

The Open ...

 

[B.A.R.]

I still cannot believe X was +3 then -7 early yesterday now has leveled off. He's close.

Yup

 

[B.A.R.]

I wish they hadn't moved tee times up. Play through it.

 

[B.A.R.]

This is a blowout. He's just obliterated this place. Very well done. At least I can be productive the rest of the day.

 

[jimmymo]

Triple fukkin bogey for JT on 17.....just blows up my head to head with Reed.....Fleetwood playing ass

 

[pressitup]

My only hope is Spieth beats Cantlay and Stenson makes top 5
