Sergio would need to make that bomb and have Rory get struck by lightning or something.

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

Ah okay.. Big payday for Rory's dad .. Winning 350,000 betting on Rory's win, no pressure son.

So is it really gonna be Rory for the next decade? Or is he actually gonna have some competition from the youngsters? I need more out of Spieth before I will crown him like TGC has.

Rory's streaky. He might not win a major for years now. He could MC at the PGA.

I think it's been fine. I've enjoyed it. You don't have to finish near par to have a good major. Plus, look at the leaderboard.

I haven't been able to watch, but -17 is quite low for a major. Still, it can be exciting and entertainting with low scores.

lol Curtis Strange basically calling out Sergio and comparing his faults to Rory's positive attributes.

To each his own. Sure I have enjoyed it b/c of the leaderboard. I just prefer tougher majors.

@ChrisP demonstrates the importance of reading the rules in our contests, unfortunately.

Great tourney...stoked for Rory (and Rickie). It was super fun to watch those two together.

Didn't someone pick Rory at -17 but forgot to follow the instructions??? LOL

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 12 (21 Mar 25) - Weekly Friday men’s group shootout.   Tough winds (10-20 mph hurt going out and just as fast help coming in) made for tricky play on all shots.  It made for a very conservative round of coarse management.  Add that the greens were firm and fast and it was an interesting day all the way around.

      This is a decent sized carpet python we had to move from beside the green on Hole 3 at my home course. These are non-venomous but would give a damn painful bite and you’d be almost certain to get an infection without antibiotics.    The ones you need to avoid that are common here are eastern browns and redbelly blacks. They are angry and aggressive if provoked whatsoever. And deadly. So it ain’t worth looking for a ball in long grass!

      I'm having trouble picturing this. Could you take a photo of the area with your ball near where it was, or draw a picture, or point us to Google Earth or something?

      The Virtue of Being a Stupid Monkey (and How it can Help Your Golf Game)

      By Stryper ·

      Absolutely love this concept. I try very hard now in my practice to just get something to work, ignore how it looks or why, then go execute it until it stops working. Then work out what to change next. As long as my stats are improving I'm happier (I'm never happy, just happier or not happier :-)).
