2015 British Open at St. Andrews Discussion Thread

Tiger's hit 41% GIR. 91% fairways, but that's with quite a few irons off the tee.

If its not fairways, its greens. If its not greens its putting. If its not putting its fairways. Man he is truly disappointing.

ESPN's coverage is kinda boring. Azinger puts me to sleep.

Tiger Woods is the 241st ranked player in the world, guys, and he's playing like it. Rankings don't lie.

For all those saying the course is too easy, they have decided to play four days this year. Let's wait and see what happens.

It's easy when the wind doesn't blow. Very easy. That course needs wind. Its starting to get some now.

Ooof, feel bad for Lingmerth. 29 out, 40 in. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/128044/] [/URL]

It's hard to feel too bad about a round of 69 at a major.

Anyone else have the feeling that DJ will obliterate the field, so that by Sunday, he can falter a bit and still win comfortably?

[Rick Martin]

very happy to see Jason Day having a great Day.....

Possible. Still tons of golf left. This tournament changes to much over the weekend with the weather. I don't think Spieth is going anywhere though.

He's my favorite non-major winner to win one.

He can overpower the Old Course, but he can't overpower 40 MPH winds. If the forecast holds, he'll need to adapt or die, lest he suffer the same fate as Rory the last time the Open was held here.

So he'll hit 2 iron drives as long as the other players hit 3-woods. He still has a huge advantage.

Announcer Ivor Robson retiring after 41 Opens

I'll miss the dulcet tones of Robson. Loved his quote about how he minimized his bathroom breaks. "No input no output".

Quote:

The 144th Open will be Robson’s last as the first tee announcer, ending a tenure that began at the Open in 1975 at Carnoustie. He hasn’t missed a championship or a tee time since.

It's not just about distance. DJ launches every shot into the stratosphere; the shot trackers from Chambers Bay tell the story. He won't be able to do that for the next two days.

[Gettin Better]

Sandy Lyle and Tom Watson are outplaying him! They are a combined 273 years old.

Pretty well everyone is outplaying him including every single amateur.. Isn't it time Woods stops embarrassing himself and quit playing on the tour?

[atb5079]

That stat about Jordan's putting is insane.

1st in 20-25ft putts but like 180th in 4-8ft putts. Weird.

[Infamous 273]

Hard to believe Spieth is 168th from putts 4-8'. Business as usual right there on 18.

[Chilli Dipper]

It looked like Jordan was running out of gas down the back nine today, despite the birdie at 18. I don't know if he's going to hold it together for three more days.
