The Open Championship

I love me some links golf, they're playing at Royal St. Georges after taking last year off.

I'm going with Spieth and I'm pretty sure Davis300 agrees this is a solid pick. My dark horse is Matthew Fitzpatrick.

I played a links course in Milton, Fl , the Moors. Loved those courses ever since

Spieth?? Thanks for the laugh! I’ll take Rahm with the hot hand.

Jordan's downfall is Sunday

Would you care to wager?

For some reason I'm going with Mickelson

I'm certainly game - we wagering Spieth does/does not win or what?

Thanks for posting Payne. I will tune in for sure. Don't know enough to bet but I always pull for Spieth but maybe one of the other young guys, Harris maybe, Rahm will fold as will Kopecka and Dechambuea (however you spell his name

Rory is always good on the links courses. )

You get Spieth and I get the field? What are the stakes?

Spieth vs Rahm

I think experience trumps youth in this tournament. I’m going with Phil!

Bryson is a dweeb and insufferable sometimes, but I am interested to see how he attacks this course. He already mentioned his length and that Tiger hit irons off every tee for one of his wins at The Open.

Rahm has been playing really good golf, tough to count him out. I’d like to see Spieth win another major.

Pass - thought you were so confident about your boy Spieth taking it all?

You took Rahm, so it was a fair bet. There's been no one player against the field since the 90's. I'll see you post again after the tourney is over as per usual.

Koepka

Morikawa

I'm glad that Jordan is playing better and I'd sure like to see him get back on track.

Hades................ I will take the bet Payne for a simple 50 bucks.................who do I got again?????????

you don't want him. He's a euro, a Spaniard to be specific..

Seeing how I'm laying up in Minorcan these days how can I go wrong for fiddy

Here's your guy Jon Rahm




the lowest score wins, I got Spieth the golden boy of golf..

btw Rahm is going off at 7-1, Spieth is 20-1

Minorcan?

Jordan -5 today through 16

Just curious if David Duval got to go..

Edit..he dropped out

https://www.golfdigest.com/story/david-duval-open-wd-2021

That’s too bad, I enjoyed watching Duval back in his glory days.

He held that through 18 and is one back of Oosthuizen. Oosty has not finished lower than second in "The Open" after leading the first day.

Ricky is pimpin that "porn stache"...

I hope he plays well this week.

Ricky looks like he came to play. Love the shades and the stache.

😎

This is an underrated pick

A lot of people going low so far

Yeah he has completely lost his game its pretty sad....22-23 years ago he was tearing it up and his dad was working them over on the senior tour

He got the yips

Morikawa's forte is accuracy but if the wind picks up it may just be who ever is lucky.

I was watching Live from the Open last night and they were going through all his strokes gained stats, pretty impressive.

Well Bryson DeChambeau certainly showed his maturity today and stepped on his crank bad mouthing his sponsor. Cobra should drop him ASAP.

I honestly don't care for him or keopka

A Cobra rep has responded. They're not happy.

Phil at +10, guess my pic is washed out.

That would be great if they dropped him during the tourney

Funny I picked Phil here yesterday the day before I told someone my pick was Cink

Doesn't he have the same score as my winner?????????????

Its always the clubs fault ya bunch of ninnies

yep and they both act about the same when things go wrong.

[quote=Payne]


Is that Derek’s yard?

That's how winners act................don't be counting your broke eggs just yet piggy smalls

Just hand Bryson a 1 iron and tell him that is his new driver and when he can work the ball with it every day then he might get a driver. Spoiled kids need toys taken away at times.

Remember the 2006 British Open when Tiger Woods used Driver on only one hole, point was to stay out of trouble and he did for the most part that way. Bryson seems to expect to be able to hit a long way and then recover through strength in the rough or where ever, hard to do in tall fescue on uneven sand of the open courses.

So it's the arrow not the indian? c'mon you know better than that...

-9 after shooting a 64 today

Jordan S -2 after two today

Yep, I picked Morikawa but rooting for Spieth. Tied at -9 right now. Hope the weather holds.

Suppose to be more of the same over the weekend.

Jordan is on a charge that's for sure.

was just about to ask how Louie O got to 12 under when they played that recap, damn tractor boy is on fire.

D.J. and Scheffler lurking......I would be OK with Scheffler.

Wish they would, just like his caddy did the day before the Rocket Mortgge. The response from Cobra was great.

I bet they do NOT renew their contract with him and it will probably cost him future sponsorship.

Who's this other idiot...Tyrrell Hatton? Flipping the gallery off and breaking clubs.

yeah Hatton, he's got a wee bit of a temper to say the least

Rory just hummed an iron into the heather off the tee box. That's not proper behavior for a gentleman in a gentlemen's game.

DeChambeau’s unyielding pursuit of perfection in an inherently imperfect game is a daunting standard to live by, and a thoroughly impossible one to expect others to live by too. He’s accustomed to calculating precisely the journey his ball will take toward its target, but at the Open every ball takes two journeys: one through the air and another that begins when it hits the ground and caroms along ancient contours. It is not a style of golf suited to precision, or to emotion (unless, like Seve Ballesteros, it is channeled successfully). Royal St. George’s was always destined to be a demanding week for DeChambeau, but it didn’t need to be a disastrous one.



pretty good article

And we are off. UT well represented.

Unusually sunny day there too

Golf is fun to watch again now that Jordan is playing well

Wasn’t fun before? Interesting take.

You do feel the opposite we know. Now that he's playing well you will not have fun watching

Davis are you an Aggie?

Hell no Sir, every Aggie I know is a complete tool. Would never send any of my kiddos to that cult of a school. Grew up a Longhorn fan but Austin is such a liberal cesspool these days I’m out on them most days.

all righty

I like waking up and the tournament being on, I guess I know what I’ll be doing most of the day already….

Just saw that Spieth was in this one. Glad to see him get back in the groove

Spieth ended yesterday bogey, bogey and is +1 today and staring at a looong par out of the bunker right now. He better pick It up.

Hope that eagle jump starts his round

hell of a putt

Finally have a chance to tune in right when oosthuizen skulled his bunker shot, first thought … “hey! That’s what I would do from there!”

beach to beach btdt

I do like Collin. Seems like a good kid. Hope he hangs on.

Marakawa need to keep missing for Jordan to catch him

Buzzed, for four years I've watched you post how Spieth sucks and how he's never coming back. At your age, you might hurt yourself by jumping on and off the bandwagon.

Collins birdie just now was huge.

Those back to back bogeys yesterday are stinging right now.

nice pick Old Shakie

pretty good final round

Just lucky.

Really good kid. Obviously an incredible golfer. He’s a little boring, but he’s a great player, especially at 24 years old.

I enjoyed watching what I was able to catch today. Morikawa looked dialed in, and it's nice to see Spieth back in contention.

I like boring over cocky and flamboyant. Let your golf do the talking

Well Chit..............I lost to piggy smalls. I will be back in the USA end of week so PM me your address.

I still like a bad temper and violence in a golfer

Jealousy is a bitch..

Keep your money fade

That is how much Payne does not want you to know where he lives lol

Jealous? Of what? Tool was a nice way of saying the 50+ Aggie’s I personally know, work with, live by, etc..are all clowns. Each and every one, not one exception. Quite comical actually.

You know the saying along the lines of if you have a problem with everyone the real issue may not be them?

I don’t see how yall can watch golf on tv lol, about as exciting as watching two turtles [censored].

I'm sure there's plenty of stuff you do that I would find as fascinating as two flies fornicating

Fair enough.

I meant his game is boring. He’s got enough personality for me.
