He may be a southerner with silly clothes who supports Arsenal, but I was enjoying Ian Poulter's earlier holes. I really hope he stays in contention. Would love to see him win an Open.

Considering Rory appears to be more comfortable putting into bunkers than actually advancing the ball to the hole, maybe you should lend him a few tips.

I may or may not have loaned Rory my chipping game.

And Philly 3-jacks the 18th for the 2nd round in a row. Again from maybe 20-feet.

Tiger hits opening t ball in the tether left. Hits a provisional and it's even further left. WOW...

From what I saw, the second one was left, but definitely not further left than the first. The first one was only 10ish yards from the OB fence.

LMAO!! Tweet from Ian Poulter: The guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions. 8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill and clown face.

All the players need to get over it. Everyone has to play them, and its the Open. You should expect the unexpected.

Zach Johnson said he was "shocked" by some of the pin positions, but had nothing really bad to say. Of course, he played pretty well, so he didn't have much room to gripe.

If ZJ was E or +1, he would have had a lot to say. It's easy to say nothing when all is well, like you said.

I got a bit of a giggle out of that, because of all the talk about how great he was going to play from Golf Channel.

Phil had some strong comments as well.  By the weekend I figure it will be forgotten.  Apparently 8 and 18 are pretty tough, though.

Westwood found some trouble but finally made a nice bogey putt on 7. If he putts well, he'll be in contention I think... but we all know where his putting has been for a while now.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
