Brooks has clearly been working on his glutes...it hasn't gone unnoticed.

I'm not naming names, and throwing jinxes out there.....but a former Champion golfer of the year is off to quite a start.
And I didn't even expect this in the least.

long way to go, but still pretty exciting

Good to see him playing well. Hope he can keep it up.

At first I thought you were talking about Duval haha

No Laying Up put a huge jinx on Duval today (that is if you believe in jinxs)

They tweeted that Duval was -2 and Rory was +5 .... then Duval had his "hold my beer" moment

Where did NLU originate anyway?  I don't remember hearing of them prior to a few months ago and now they're on my regular listening.  

I hope Duval isn't too upset that they hurt his chances at the UK British Open presented by Her Majesty the Queen.

I'd love him to win.  He seems like a really top bloke. 

In my top 5 golfers to look out for.

 

...Jeez, Duval is not going to break 90.

Harding looks like me in the sand (his second shot at #5, first from the sand).  

"Under the old rules that'd be a penalty." (re: Harding falling over in a bunker after a shot, ball still in bunker).

No, it wouldn't have.  Things like maintaining balance weren't penalties. 

[ChrisP]

If Koepka were to win, it would probably be the closest thing we’ve ever seen to the calendar GS.

Yeah I know Tiger won 3 in 2000 but never really contended at Masters. Spieth came close in 2015. 

Greg Norman, by the way, owns the 54-hole calendar slam in 1986. Led all 4 majors after three rounds. Pretty cool. Sad he only won one of those.

[Shindig]

Tiger on the tee for his first shot of the day.

This isn't a spoiler no matter where you live as it was announced prior to today.

Oooh, look on Tiger's face after that shot wasn't good.

[colin007]

Oh FFS

[ScouseJohnny]

It's not "Rory" left off the first tee, is it?

[ChrisP]

Yeah he “appears” hurt. Hope it’s not the back.

I hope he isn't hurt at all, pretends he is for 63 holes, and then when he has just tied it at the ninth on Sunday, he turns to the leader and smiles.  The leader asks him why he's smiling and he says "because I know something you don't know;  I ... am not injured!" and proceeds to shoot a 29 on the last nine to run away with it.

[colin007]

Oh well, I've got stuff to do on the house.

[Zeph]

Is there some kind of shot tracker for this tournament or is The Open that tournament of the year without this feature?
