It’s Woodsesque

Harv said it, Rory is swashbuckling and Scottie is methodical, he’ll win loads more

7 shot lead after 5

Unfortunately yes

Scheffler is going to stroll this.

Some of the contouring on the greens is absolutely insane.

I’ve not swung a club in many a long year. Too frustrating a sport and one that requires dose more time and dedication than I can commit.

I was a member in Dromoland (look it up ) and when we moved here I asked them could my Dad take it instead and waive the signing on fee. I now them there quite well and they looked after him, he is retired, plays 4 times a week, is on their seniors teams and a valuable part of their community.

I didn't have the time and played 12 holes early Sat morning and 9 midweek some evening....... wasn't worth it. Like you, it used to torment me but one good shot and I'd dream about it that night

Portrush is an incredibly well designed course for these guys. Challenges on almost every single hole.

I played there once, Doonbeg a few times, Ballybunion, Old Head, Tralee, Waterville and in Lahinch a bunch of times (mate was a scratch member)........ I was so out of my depth but the courses are beautiful

I also played several of the best parkland courses around Ireland, we are blessed (same as Scotland) but haven't swung a golf club since I came here. I actually don't miss it

Rory hits a supreme putt on 1, then butchers the tap in to take bogey.

[Buzzo]

The greens at Portrush are pretty intense. Like crazy golf.

Also Rory's really turning into a whiny little dick. Getting sick of hearing him whinge.

His arc has been really weird, I thought it would’ve been a huge weight off him and he’d be “free”. It seems to have screwed with his head!

Watched a lot of this over the weekend but the rain delay main it too late last night. Just watched the highlights there and JJ Spaun winning on -1 is proper major scoring

I also think Bob McIntyre us a future Masters champion, Augusta suits lefties (Phil, Bubba, Weir) and he looks a real player

Was an evil course set up. Zero room for error really, even around the greens, you put it 3yds long, left or right and you're in 6inches of rough. Absolutely brutal

Was nice to see pro's reduced down to our level instead of shooting -15's etc

Was an amazing finish from Spaun, especially with how he started the round, but geez, Sam Burns has every right to feel very aggrieved with that decision to not give him relief from standing water.
Was clearly a lot of water where his ball was. With some of the ridiculous drops you see players get to not give him a drop there was just cruel. Lost him the tournament really.

[Harv]

Yeah love Bob's game. wouldn't be at all surprised to see him win the Open in a few weeks.

Watched some of the golf yesterday, last night. That’s a proper test - Major Championships should be won on 2 or 3 under IMO
