If Xander and Kisner fall back, can Tiger still make Akron?

Maybe. But probably not.

I know it's just hilarious to presume you didn't hear an accent while not hearing him clearly say Tiger.

They don't have golf stores or pro shops in Manchester?

Can you imagine the reaction from sponsors if someone won an important trophy with a putter they got in the $39 used bin?

Great play by Molinari. He earned it, playing with the Tiger circus.

That last missed putt by Tiger wouldn't have affected the outcome today, but I think it also put him out of the WGC.

And I hope NBC never gets another major. The amount of commercials was ridiculous.

Yes, another reason the first major of the year is the best.

Very small chance Tiger can make Akron now.

People ahead are falling back.

Never mind. Maybe only if Xander doubles 18. That won’t happen.

And it's official.  Good for Molinari. 

Now to see if Xander can three-putt from there to keep Tiger out of Akron. :-(

I don’t think he’s in. It’s close.

Three putting would put him in. Typo?

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

A four putt gives Tiger a tie for fifth (moving Xander out of the top-5 entirely), which I thought would get him in... but it may be too big a tie.

No a three putt would have been T5 for Tiger. And gotten him IN Akron I think. 

You’re all kinds of confused here @Shindig. :-)

LOL. Gotta love this place. Only here would the last page of The Open thread become about Tiger (shocker!) and Akron. :surrender:

I might be looking at it wrong.  Xander's 2-putt kept him at -6, T2.  A 3-putt and he's one stroke fewer and...

Nevermind, I can't math today.  You're right.

Stupid comment.

a) It’s being talked about everywhere.

b) It’s the only thing left to be determined.

I can't believe how close Rose came to winning.  I heard the announcers say several times that he made the cut on the number, but I never heard anyone point out that "the number" was +2 almost all day Friday, and just moved to +3 in the last hour or two.  If a couple of guys hadn't made bogey, he would have gone home early.
