When will the media come to a consensus and call it either Hoylake or Royal Liverpool?

Rory is sporting the worst hat ever...

Tiger just ripped a 3 wood down 18 into the wind 300 yards. I'm not sure what the game plan was today but he literally hit his driver today like an 8 handicap.  Nike needs to build him a franke

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Sounds intriguing.

For the benefit of an expat watching ESPN not the BBC, please do tell (or provide a summary of some sort.....)

I'm looking at this leaderboard; Scott Van Pelt just said Charl Schwartzel is the lowest-ranked player in the top seven, at 26th in the world. I thought this course could give is the first out-of-left-field major winner in several years, but that's definitely not the case.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Surpised they aren't struggling all that much today with the weather. Any reason they started off so early? Top pairing was already through 5 by 7:30PM EST. Majors this year the leaders haven't typically teed off until 2:30PM EST

Seems like the guys are starting to struggle a bit. Clubs are digging. Lots of errant drives and ball is not carry on those greens.

Thunder forecasts later in the day worried the R&A; I think.

There's a risk of lightning, so they've telescoped the times -- off the first and tenth tees so that if there's a delay they'll still be able to get the full day's play in. First time it's ever been done at the Open.

Kinda bitter. I woke up at 7 and was like "oh hell yeah gonna have a long day of watching a full round of the leaders" and I turn it on and DJ is putting on 5. WTF

A ton of bogies on #7 by most on the first page of the leaderboard.

Rory's par putt was about as good as a birdie against his closest competitors.

I don't know what hole is playing the toughest today but #7 has to be up there among the most difficult.

Yea, I woke up at 6, turned on the TV to see if they were covering it yet and was shocked to see Rory being announced on the 1st tee.

You mean that I agreed with Shorty?  Or that I disagreed about Rory?

Doesn't matter, struck me wrong, didn't need to mention it.

If there is one thing this thread shows it's that the interest in Tiger Woods is still alive and kicking nicely - most players who have dominated and then faded have been allowed to gently slip into the good night...but not Eldrick.

Probably because he can and has come back and won 5 tournaments in a year after being "washed up"...

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
