Lemondropkid Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Darren Clarke lead the Open -2 at 7-30. It's coming home😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Rory wilting under the pressure of expectation. How must he have felt walking onto the second tee 4 over? Five over after 3 holes. He will do well to still be playing after Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Christ I just woke up and saw some highlights. Rory OB with an iron at the 1st, I can’t believe it. At least he’s clawed back 2 shots in the last 3 holes. Looks to be an interesting day, I’m seeing lots of birdies but lots of doubles as well Dont forget about Fritelli, he’s obviously riding a hot streak Sergio in with 68, happy to see him playing well Edited July 18, 2019 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Poor Rory...he righted the ship but 16 & 18 got him. 79, +8, he needs a miracle just to make the cut Ugly drive on 1 for Tiger, but gets up and down from 55 yards in the bunker 20 feet below the green....very impressive. Drives into a pot at the 2nd, lucky it’s a par 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Lowry is really playing well, 6 birdies in first ten holes. Really stacked leaderboard, too many big names and way too early to have a favourite. Never really liked Westwood, but it would be a great story for him to finally get a major at 46. Spieth could surprise us, he’s been playing awful lately by his standards. Would love to see Fleetwood win his 1st as well. Rahm and Garcia are up there as well. Like I said, way too early and who knows what the weather will do on the weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Clarke makes a triple at the last to miss the cut at home....that’s a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Oh my Frittelli just made a big booboo off 17 tee, potentially a lost ball and a huge number. Rory up to 108th now, hope he makes the cut. That missed tap-in yesterday is looking big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Rory made a 65 look very easy today, he had a bogey, left a few putts near the lip, and I saw him go in a bunker from 85 yards in the fairway. When he drives it well, he’s tough to beat. 370 downwind on 12, but I was more impressed by 328 into the breeze, in cold weather on another par 4. Amazing he gets that distance from that frame Shame the difference was the rushed tap in Thursday, if crap weather kicked up, you never know what he could have done over 36 holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a once in a lifetime thing for him, the Open coming to Northern Ireland- it came across in his emotional interview last night how much it had got to him. Such a massive thing for his home Country, the nerves just got to him on his very first shot. Think it only hit him afterwards just how much it did mean for everyone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 And they’re all off for Round 3! Tommy birdies the 1st for a share of the lead. The top 20 is still so stacked, only the Korean Park I haven’t really heard of. Anyone’s tournament, and I heard some bad weather is blowing in Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Tommy got an eagle chip coming up, birdie to tie. I know Tiger’s story in April was incredible, but I’m happy to be watching this Open live. It really is the cream of the crop, well sans Rory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Very poor shot by Lee IMO, if he wants that major he can’t miss greens from 60 yards Great putt from the fairway though Fleetwood birdies to tie Edited July 20, 2019 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Has JB sped up his play, or do the networks have great timing? I found him awfully slow during his win in LA in February, but it was very windy and now he seems to play much faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
