Lead is two, and the only Cameron making a move is sponsored by MLB.

I just played there a few weeks ago; It was cool playing with the stands and camera towers up. I birdied 18 in front of the crowd coming in. Pretty sure they’ll be sending me a last minute invitation

No watering on the fairways. And no desire to pay for it either.Here is Banchory GC in 2017 ( Normal summer conditions), an inland course but sandy soil. And here it is the next year(drough

If Rory gets it to at least -19 through 12, it’s over. Young and Hovland are still in it, but they need help from Rory probably.

I love when the camera pans back on an approach shot and we see the green with two flags.  

Cameron Smith with a beautiful second shot on #10 (his first was pretty darn good too).

Rory this week on #10:  4-3-2.  He did not follow that trend today but hit a great shot anyway. 

Viktor what are you doing?

What's up with the MLB logo on Cam Young's shirt?  Is a major sports league really advertising in another sport?  Are there people watching professional golf who aren't aware this baseball is a thing too?  

McIlroy with a great lag putt from 126'.  I could probably 5 or 6 putt from there, he's down in two.  He played that hole in twelve strokes for the week.

At least it's not as bad as when Ben Curtis was sponsored by the NFL and he repped a different NFL team every day.

Curtis is from Ohio, too, so I can only imagine how he felt about that outfit.

Hopefully he has a clause in his contract where he gets paid more on those days 😆

Payne Stewart did it too.

Looking into this more, the sponsor for Ben Curtis at that time was actually Reebok, and they had some deal with the NFL where they decided to make him where NFL gear. The Payne Stewart sponsorship was directly with the NFL I believe.

Interesting!  Thank you.  I wasn't into golf during the Stewart era, so while I can picture his typical outfit, I didn't know he did the NFL ones.  I did know Curtis and even saw two of his wins, but I either didn't notice the football clothing or maybe it was a different part of his career I saw.  Either way, super interesting, thank you!

How different personalities the majors have.  "Coffin bunkers" are okay, referring to bunkers in another as body bags is not.

They both wore the home teams often (maybe always on Sundays) when playing in different areas/regions.

Curtis at the 84 Lumber Classic, for example.

Smith is on fire!

Hovland has had a few unfortunate breaks, but overall he just hasn’t played well enough to get something going.

My golf journey began in May of 2008 so this is only my third Open at St.Andrews (2010, 2015, 2022) and for the first time I'm truly appreciating this course and this place. The other two times I think I was kind of in a newbie fog or something. I get it now. This is so fun to watch here with two guys with a shot at the ultimate major win: an Open at the home of golf.*

Still rooting for Rory though 😄

 

*for this era at least (Thanks, Arnie)

Who decided that letting Cam Smith play the second nine on Xbox was fair?

Jordan putting from the road?  I would have thought he'd get relief there.

I was playing Golf Club 2 last night on PC where I have like a +18 index lol and I was +2 on the back nine here for a 1-under 71. Cam Smith's real game is destroying my video game game. That ain't right.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
