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

I'll be sick if mcilroy wins....I was disqualified from the contest because I didn't say 7 words and was the first to pick Rory. Scoring is good, but thought someone would go lower so far. Thought we'd see a 63 or 64. Still a lot of players under par. Wind supposed to blow tomorrow though.

I'm pretty sure you'd still have to be the closest to the correct score though. And a lot of people picked him.

[/quote] [quote name="RJH999" url="/t/75401/2014-open-championship-british-open-at-royal-liverpool-discussion-thread/180#post_1021761"]WHAT ARE YOU DOING ERNIE[/quote] I just watched that and his bogey putt was shorter than the backhand putt. He marked it as a formality until the pin could be taken out. He was on Phil's line so Ernie went first. He never even really got set. Since he was shocked it went wide, he reflexively reached out to backhand it back for an easy double-bogey. Then he missed that wide too. Geez He must've been rattled by hitting spectator on the first tee shot.

Yup. And unlikely -17 takes it.

Peter Alliss just lamented that players these days never hit the ball straight. Then he said "look at Lee Trevino, he'd aim down the left side and hit one left to right down the middle of the fairway." So take that, young'uns! He also just said he's "not a huge, huge, huge fan of links golf."

Well he'll shoot 77 tomorrow, so this is not going to be an issue

That Tiger exchange this morning with the photographers was crazy. The guy has back issues already and for him to stop his swing like that could've been REAL bad!

I think the only way Rory wins, is if they can change the calendars, and hypnotize him into thinking it is Thursday all four days ... then he will run away with this thing ...

I think I picked Sergio at -8.  either looks like they are still viable

I expect scoring to tighten up as the weather changes.  If not, there will be some words eaten....  ; )

(Rory leads on Thursday.......sigh)  I've stopped picking him, still would like it if he finds a 4 day streak

will have to do some internet searches, especially the club snapping....I think I was watching and just missed it

Follow these 3 steps

Step 1. Call a good friend/relative,

Step 2. After pretending you care how they're doing, ask him/her for their cable provider log in information.

Step 3. Use information obtained from step 2 to watch golf.

      Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer?? I got scammed one time on FBM so I don’t trust it.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
