2015 British Open at St. Andrews Discussion Thread

No, it is not the same. No one in their right mind would say   SPY-ETH or FER-JUK. But mispronouncing Louis' name is understandable until they are corrected.

YOU think nobody in his right mind would ... WHY NOT.. if you look at the spelling it just as easy to say that right or wrongly as Louis name.. are you and the commentators also out of your right minds... ... AND they HAVE been corrected SO MANY times on the right way to pronounce it you've gotta start thinking yr dealing with donkey's

[David in FL]

What a break!

[nevets88]

I wonder if the Cink/Duval/Hamilton grouping was motivation for Cink and Duval to play as well as they did/are. Screw you R&A.;

[saevel25]

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

All he needs to do is pick up and move on and he can write down par + handicap when he submits his round for handicap purposes :)

How about we focus on the bigger picture stuff? You seem to be obsessed with the small stuff: what people call something, how people pronounce something… to the point where you call people names ("donkey's"? Really?). That's not tolerated here.

And what's worse, while you're busy calling people names, there's an AWESOME event being conducted.

BTW, donkeys doesn't need an apostrophe. Duh. :-P

Cink moving up the leaderboard, is he going to destroy the fairytale of the Grand Slam or an Amateur win, its why he exists.

LOL!. Poor Cink. Some guys can win but never win..

[Phil McGleno]

This is one of the more exciting majors in a long time. I just hope it can continue until the end. It would be a bummer if someone pulls away. What is the largest playoff in British Open history? Five men?

[DeadMan]

I'm getting all tingly already. This is going to be a fun morning!

[Chilli Dipper]

Chesters is at -11, Matsuyama's at -11, Anthony Wall's at -11, Koepka's at -10, all of them already on the in-run. The director's making a huge mistake in not following their progress. I get that the last groups are star-studded, but those guys could get to the top of leaderboard and stay there.

[ChrisP]

Anthony Wall? Who the heck is that?

[RJH999]

Anthony Wall? Who the heck is that?

English journeyman.

They'll likely fall off a bit on the inward nine.

I'm watching the BBC feed and they're not showing those guys either. There are, wait 15 guys at -10 or better? They can't show all of them.

So will the guys who haven't made the turn yet. This is what we're talking about when we talk about bad TV coverage. They don't want to be in the position of one of those players being in line for a playoff, when the viewers will have had no clue as to how they got there. Wall birdied 11; now he's one shot off the lead. You can't ignore second place.

[ChrisP]

Leishman a long hitter....these kind of guys are dangerous because they can take apart the loop.
