Now on the tee, from USA: The 2024 Open Championship thread

[playthrough]

JT four shots back yet 45-1 to win on DraftKings feels like an evil bookie trap.

The definition of a slog today. Players trying to survive.

It was. Lowry can play smarter than that, though. In fact, he should be the one who does, given what he knows about the weather. Or maybe he got mad about the turn in the weather and lost focus.

Scheffler may have played the best round to the green. I think he'll do that again Sunday. Comes down to putting at that point.

Have heard a few "Hawk Tuah"s at impact this week. That's not an improvement on "mashed potatoes."

Anything has to be better than "get in the hole," although I imagine there were a few this week.

Try the "Hawk Tuah" at Augusta and you'll be outside the gates before you get to the "Tuah."

Anything has to be better than "get in the hole," although I imagine there were a few this week.

I yelled that at the TV on a couple of Horschel's shots today.

 

[MileHigh]

A mentioned, that was a slog and just a matter of surviving.

I'll be up very early tomorrow for this one.

We've had a member trip to Ireland the last two years and we're running one to Northern Ireland this year. Scotland next year. We also do some domestic ones, and I'm the staff member heading to Kohler in October. Ready to purchase about a million ship golf balls just to get through the round at Whistling Straits.

Enjoy Whistling Straits. Hope you get a great day for it. Got to play the media day before the 2004 PGA Championship. That joint is something else. Really loved it.

Oh, that Pete Dye. I took an 11 on one par 5 and was in sand eight times. And had to one-putt for that 11.

I want to get back there it and play it again, along with the other course.

Blows his opening tee shot out of Scotland and makes triple.

Lowry is a roller coaster ride this week.

 

[da man]

You could see Horschel was going to miss that par putt before he hit it. He looked VERY nervous and tentative in setting up for it.

 

[da man]

Who the hell is Thriston Lawrence?

 

[Deskgrunt50]

I had to look up Lawrence. From South Africa. Rookie of the year in 2022 on the euro tour. He's 27.

I generally find golfers from South Africa to be giant ashholes. I'm rooting for Rose or Xander at this point. And Lowry but he's fading.

Rose making the knee-knocking six-footers for par.
