I do not know much about Harmon, why do I see a lot of negativity about him?

Maybe people don't want to see him become the first left handed person to win a British Open? 🤷‍♂️

Actually, I'm not even sure that'd be the case if he wins, as it is possible a left handed person won the British Open playing right-handed.  Two players, both right-handed people, have won the British Open while playing left handed, and they're the only to who showed up on a quick Google search. 

(Okay, I mostly wanted to say that trivia point sometime this week)

I so wanna swing like Fleetwood when I grow up. That's gotta be one of the most ideal links swing of all time.

Ditto - I love his swing

Harman is apparently right-handed.

I don’t know much about Harman or mind if he wins, I just don’t want to see a runaway win since that’s not entertaining.

He will most likely win with that lead and how he’s been playing.

Mickelson won in 2013. I’m pulling for Harman. He weathered a rough start today, but rallied. I think Rahm is the chaser to watch though.

I remember Mickelson's win;  I liked him back then.  However, he, like Bob Charles, is a right handed person who won the British while playing left handed.

Hmm.  Now I wonder what his reason for playing left-handed is.  I understand Phil's and I guess I never looked into Bob Charles's.

It’s golf. If they play with lefty clubs, they’re considered left handed. Nobody cares what hand they sign their checks with.

Oh, but the guy leading is already -12, so clearly, this tournament is crap.

Am I doing that right?

Yes, but as Scott pointed out yesterday, make sure to berate the R&A for allowing too much rain thereby allowing the greens to be too receptive…Not sure what kind of pansy tournament these guys are running

Harman can probably shoot 75 today and still win this.

Well, Rory’s gotta push on the gas pedal a little more this point (after 8 holes)

Rory isn’t winning this barring a minor miracle. Rahm shot 63 yesterday for the lowest score ever and Rory started the day nine back.

67 is going to be a good score today.

You’re not being very kind by killing my whimsical dream 

Now Rory killed it himself - can’t afford to drop strokes

There were plenty of people with a reasonable chance to catch Harman and win at the start of the day but Rory wasn’t one of them. Even if Harman pulled a Norman, someone not name Rory likely wins.

I can’t get over how Harman's umbrella makes him look like a roadside golf glove vendor.

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
