Nice to see Kooch in contention.  Hasn't had a very good year so far.  Also, you can't help but think that some of these names on the leaderboard will be around next week as well.

Great shot, unfortunately I think he needed to make that eagle to have a shot.

Fowler and Kuchar playoff will be sweet. I would like to see Fowler pull it off though.

Watching this on Sport1 Golf on my 100cm dish set up near the beach an hour south of Barcelona.. and after Fowlers last shot he'll do what I thought earlier today.. Win .. Shame for Daniel.. but he should be there next week

Fowler wins after a real strong finish: 3 birdies on the last four holes. Kuchar and Jaquelin T2. Luiten 4th. Great tournament.

Speaking as a Scotsman (who was at the tournament on Thursday), I would like to apologise to the world for having to see Nicola Sturgeon on the telly. Embarrassing.

I also have to say that I find it a bit depressing that the British media is obsessed with getting overseas players, especially Americans, to say how much they love links golf.

Anyway, that aside I thought it was a good tournament which looked great on tv. It is now a great tournament, and moving it to links courses a week before the big one was a masterstroke.

Given the forecasted high winds next week, I'm liking Fowlers chances at the Old Course more and more. Just put my 20 dollars down on him.

Consistency.

Rickie: 66-68-66-68.  Shot either 34 or 35 on the front every day.  32 or 33 on the back every day.

Kooch: 66-68-67-68.  Shot 33, 34, 35 on the front every day. 33 or 34 on the back every day.

Well I'm sure hoping for someone from this side of the pond.. or an Aussie .. a Jason win would make me happy. Mind you our cousins from the African colonies could have a good run at it too .. but not a yank. . . please :) :).. they call it The BRITISH Open haha

I think I would putt my money on Fowler as well. As for the Euros Lowry, Luiten and Wiesberger.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
