Well there has been a British Masters, but everyone knows which event THE Masters is……… 

And yet I’ve seen it referred to as the US Masters.

Which is fine.

Well your Open may be more important to you lot on the far side of the pond, but our Open has always been more important on this side. And for many decades before your imitation Open came along.

Always more important to your side is debatable. The event was very lowly considered for a long time.

there’s another topic for this, as I said already, so let’s not do this every year.

Anyone of the East Coast tuning in at 1:30 am?

And that is the biggest problem associated with this Open. 

Between sleeping and working, I might get to see a bit of it on Sunday. That, however, will depend on my own golf schedule.

Rory tees of at 9:59 am. Florida time. Patrick Reed at 2:30 am. If anyone cares about that idiot.

It’s nice having a tournament at daytime over here, and The Open is usually fun. Go Viktor!

I've got my alarm set for 4am. I don't want to subscribe to Peacock.

I have two days off tomorrow, I am not waking up that early 😛

I’ve watched a lot of Scheffler over the last week and a half. Tee to green he is absolutely incredible. It’s no wonder he misses so many 10-15 ft puts - he has about 15 of them every round

It’s funny how I haven’t seen one second of Patrick Reed despite him being -2. Good on that! Seems like too many guys are pin seeking and getting in trouble.

They've shown him like four times.

Straka hole out chip on 18! Such a classic linksy play. Early leader for the shot of the day!

The 9 am. update. Missed any and all of the brief coverage of Patrick Reed, no complaints there. Fleetwood should enjoy his spot on the leader board, it wont last. Same goes for Lamprecht, Cink. Early prediction John Daly will finish the day at +5 or have the clubhouse lead. It appears that Sunday is the best chance for unpleasant weather conditions. No marine layer.

Reed Koepka and Scheffler start well at  -1.

Anyone watching the Par 3 channel? Live feed of the 17th hole. Just watched this A. Fitzpatrick guy play out the nightmare triple bogey just like advertised.

I think it's harder than 17th a Sawgrass or 12th at Augusta. It's hard enough from the tee box but maybe harder from around the green. Damn.

Wouldn't be surprised if this hole ends being make or break on Sunday.

P.S. just saw this but it is statistically only the 3rd hardest part 3 today.

He still looks like Pugsly Addams

Fleetwood on Claret watch.

Ouch....Rahm had to play out "Backwards" from a bunker.  No chance he could do anything but hit back towards the tee box.  A left hander may have been able to advance the ball.

He will watch someone else hoist the jug it will not be him.
