2015 British Open at St. Andrews Discussion Thread

If he could do this more than once every three years or so, he wouldn't have to take a TV job.

Hard to compete at even an average level on tour when you can't even get into an event without a special exemption. He only plays about 4-5 times per year because its all the events he can get into. Either way, good for him. Always has been a favorite of mine and it was nice to see some of his play this week get a little tv time and be recognized.

I believe he's still sitting on an all-time money list exemption he can use for an entire season.

I think he used that in like 2009 lol.

I looked it up; I guess he did.

Oosthuizen is like Angel Cabrera. Doesn't take the regular tourneys very seriously, but come Major time, he's there.

Padraig Harrington and Jordan Spieth tie for the lead.

ESPN needs to be showing more of the guys well ahead of the leaders on the course. If these conditions hold, they may be relevant.

Dunne chunks his approach at 1 in front of the burn. Not a good sign of things to come.

Yikes!

Sergio's off.

I think he's a good dark horse pick today. It seems he's let go of the baggage that's kept him from winning one of these things; this feels like it could be the day.

Looks like he shook off the "off."

-2 after 3 for T6, one back of the lead.

Edit: I misunderstood your meaning of "Off." My apologies.

Matsuyama's at 11-under past the turn, and we've just seen him in pictures for the first time. ESPN needs to stay on him.

Yeah he's scary good. That dude needs to wipe his camera off.

Gotta be hard to when you have such a logjam at the top. You still have to show the co-leaders and the guys who the on course reporters are with. I think they're doing the best they can.

"Off," as in he's teed off. Sergio's locked in. [quote name="ChrisP" url="/t/83040/2015-british-open-at-st-andrews-discussion-thread/900#post_1172096"]Oosthuizen is like Angel Cabrera.

My pick to win it all at -15..... :-) Today could be one of the greatest, most historic rounds of major championship golf ever!

Man this is tough to watch

How is the practice green in bounds? That's a fantastic break for Dunne if he can play from there. Lord knows, he needs it.

[Club Rat]

OMG -  Dunne just hit three tee balls off the second tee...
