That was unbelievable.
Felt the pressure got to Smith a bit yesterday. He's the best putter on the tour but he was ordinary on the greens.

That is an astounding 2 putt on 17 from Smith. He's been insane on this back 9.

What a player he is. Love to see major winners who don't smash it miles. Great short game, the GOAT putter. Great stuff.

Final 2 were too focused on their group imo, Cam putting 4 birdies in 4 holes on the turn, Rory had no time to step it up a gear.
If they played it again next weekend you'd fancy Smith again. Worthy winner

Fair play Cam Smith that was a hell of a final round. Feel sorry for Rory, he didn't do much wrong, he just couldn't get any momentum. The best player won.

I still can't get over that putt on 17. Even though you know he's a machine-like putter, with the pressure I thought he'd either end up rolling back into the sand or be way over the far side. To knock it to 12-15 feet and then, of course, roll it in from there, was absolutely clutch as fuck.

Typically shit from reporters. He's just won the Open and rather than focus on that they launch into the LIV golf stuff.

I don’t think they are due back for & years, but I suspect it will always be on the list of Open courses for the history.

Why do they cut the rough so much? I would say most links or linksy courses around England atm - if you're more than a yard or two off the fairway you are absolutely fucked - like hack it out sideways kinda fucked - these guys were missing fairways and being allowed to get away with it as the 2nd cut was so short

Bob Bubka mentioned Rory wanted it too much, He probably knows that Cam is going to the Liv so put more pressure on himself to put him in his place.

Also (soz if this has been mentioned) didn't realise it's called LIV to correspond with 54 in Roman numerals. Wild

Getting a job on the marketing side of this must be pretty easy. That is so irredeemably shite.

 100% - I'd love to be putting that proposal together.
"Pop a couple of extra zero's on there, have you seen what they are paying Mikelson"?
... feels like this leads into an ethical 'double standards' conversation that I am keen to avoid.

Respect to Tiger Woods, I mean, he can clearly afford to say no. But those are some big bucks to be walking away from.

Phil Mickelson and Ian Poulter among LIV golfers to bring lawsuit against PGA Tour
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/62412590
Phil Mickelson and Ian Poulter are among 11 LIV Golf players who have filed a lawsuit against the PGA Tour in order to challenge their suspensions.
The PGA Tour has suspended all of its members who have signed up to the controversial Saudi-backed LIV series, which is in its inaugural season.
The 2020 US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has also put his name to the anti-trust lawsuit.
The group argue that the PGA Tour is trying to harm their careers.
"The Tour's conduct serves no purpose other than to cause harm to players and foreclose the entry of the first meaningful competitive threat the Tour has faced in decades," the lawsuit states.
"The purpose of this action is to strike down the PGA Tour's anti-competitive rules and practices that prevent these independent-contractor golfers from playing when and where they choose."
In a letter responding to the lawsuit that was sent to PGA Tour members, commissioner Jay Monahan said the organisation would not back down.
"These suspended players - who are now Saudi Golf League employees - have walked away from the Tour and now want back in," he said.
"It's an attempt to use the Tour platform to promote themselves and to freeride on your benefits and efforts.
"To allow re-entry into our events compromises the Tour and the competition, to the detriment of our organisation, our players, our partners and our fans.
"The lawsuit they have filed somehow expects us to believe the opposite, which is why we intend to make our case clearly and vigorously."
The PGA Tour suspended those who joined up with the breakaway series in June, though those players were still able to compete at the subsequent US Open and last month's Open Championship.
Six-time major winner Mickelson and other major champions including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia were among those suspended.
Poulter was also suspended by the the European-based DP World Tour after they followed the PGA Tour's lead.
That move prompted 16 players to threaten legal action if the bans were upheld and Poulter was able to compete at the Scottish Open after his ban was lifted pending a full appeal.
Carlos Ortiz, Peter Uihlein, Jason Kokrak, Pat Perez, Abraham Ancer, Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones are the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the PGA Tour.
Gooch, Swafford and Jones are requesting temporary relief to allow them to compete in the FedEx Cup play-offs, which start next week.

Going to be interesting how this plays out, they've made the point that they're "independent contractors" and as such free to choose where they play I guess on the other side of the coin the GAs should also have the right as to who they allow to enter their events.
Won't be anywhere near that simple but the golfers seem to want to have their cake and eat it.

I wonder if the PGA have a reputational damage clause they can hang everything on?
Would be good if they can if it goes to court as it highlights the actual issues at the core of this.

Without knowing any of the specific details, I'd be absolutely amazed if they were employees. Can't see that being true in a million years
