I think if you had told me on Wednesday that the final group would be Rory and Rickie I would have been a little disappointed that Tiger wasn't there but I wouldn't complain that much.

Lost in all this -- it seems the Nike Clubs do work for Rors.

Either that, or tennis doesn't

I note that Wozza has take to social media to say how nice it is to be able to wear high heels again after three years of not being allowed to (she's an inche taller than him apparently without heels)

Perhaps Rory's success could spark a spate of divorces across the globe as golfers weigh up the choice between husband and handicap. Just think, all these equipment chances and tinkering with swings etc the answer has been to get rid of the Mrs all along!

Just a little caption the BBC have put up concerning players who complete all 4 rounds in the 60's at the Open. Apparently it's only been done three times in history

Tom Watson, Greg Norman, & Nick Price

Now I'm guessing that since all three won at Turnberry, and that Turnberry is a 70, that this accounts for it (I should say the name 'Trump' has appeared on their website now with seemingly little fanfare)

Anyway, if Rory goes under 70 today (and Ricky could do as well I think) then they'll join the group, or set a new record if you don't feel Turnberry should be allowed on

That double shot tracer thing they showed with Sergio's tee shot was awesome. They (nice rickie!) need to do that more often. ;)

Fowler's not backing down though. Two good approach shots so far.

Thats incorrect. Tom Watson has done it every year for the last four years. :-D

Haha, now that would be funny, Nike could start advertising Rory McCilroy sponsored divorce packages.

So bitter of her though.

Ricky with another chance.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
