2020 British Open For the Ages

Since this has gone off the rails - how hasn't Poulter been mentioned? Patty Reed, Lexi, Brandel, Johnny Miller....give me some time and I'm sure I can come up with a few more

[Missouri Swede]

I think Lee Westwood is due to finally get his major. If not IRL, then this way.

Poulter is a whiny Pink Shirt b*tch...lol.

Cheatin Top 5/Captain America is so full of himself....it's great to laugh at him...so I like him because he's entertaining with his nonsense.

Lexi is SUPER nice and a really approachable young lady....but there have been some situations where I can see some who don't care for her. I think Lexi suffers from depression....she's admitted seeking counselling for help.

Brandel is Brandel....full of hot air.....again...good for a laugh and entertainment.

Miller LUVS himself and his 63 at Oakmont....but IMO...one of the better TV golf analyst.

As much as I enjoy the cranking on players we dislike, let’s get back on topic.

Will they have a blooper segment with some of the historically bad shots from Open history?

I hope so, I still can't believe Hale Irwin missed that putt!

First day highlights were pretty good

[ChrisP]

Pretty cool. They did a great job making the old coverage look modern. Would have liked to maybe seen them use all the different courses of the rota and make it like they play on all different courses the first three days like they do the Pro-Am. Could have then used more players and add more highlights. But still pretty cool.

[jamo]

I thought this was an enjoyable watch too:

 

[ChrisP]

I was wondering why there was so little coverage of Rory...

and then I remembered...

he only played two rounds at St. Andrews in 2010 and DNP bc of injury in 2015. My guess is they’ll use his first round 63 for coverage on Sunday.

So does this mean Jack’s the GOAT?

You and I have a lot in common.😁

I also don't like Seve...nor Bubba, Bryson, .... I can tolerate Cry baby Spieth.

I also don't like Player, Zach J, Jimmy Walker, Tom Watson....I know there are others.😁😁

On the LPGA I don't like Wie, Creamer, Stacy, Christina Kim, Kerr

Maybe it would be easier to list who you can stomach.

Jack’s arguably the second GOAT.

Actually surprised they had him win. Thought it would be Tiger or Seve. Thought they’d use Seve’s putt from 84 as the winner while Tiger bogeyed 17. But they went with Jack.

The ‘Old Guard’ will always stick with Jack. They’re the ones who don’t pay attention to statistics, believe putting is where all the money is and 18>15. Jack will still get a bone thrown to him while he’s alive. Eventually the overwhelming facts of Tiger’s superiority will be universally embraced. For now it’s just melancholic bias.

They should have given it to Tom Watson. He clearly had an edge over all of them in Open Wins 😉. He's the only one after 1970 to win more than 3 of them.

It’s also that for guys who grew up watching golf in the 70’s and 80’s Jack WAS the Goat with no one else coming close. It takes a lot for someone to deny their childhood idol.

Agreed, he was my favourite as a lad

It was easy for me. I never really knew any stats on Jones, Hogan, Snead or Hagen and just assumed Jack was the GOAT. Once I realized GOAT should be based on overall accomplishment and not sentiment it was easy to put Tiger as the GOAT. Because he clearly is.😀
