[Jive Turkey 12722]

Morikawa is going to be fun to watch in the Ryder Cup.

if just about any other player was in second place, i'd be pulling for Morikawa.  but not with Spieth on his tail.

This is correct.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9435]

Three holes left. Great time for a commercial break, NBC.

[Revolution512 1505]

Fun to watch, two very talented players doing what they do.

It's his day. No doubt about it.

he's just not making bogey. jordan is trying to track him down but morikawa isn't letting him.  after this is over Jordan is gonna stew over 17 and 18 yesterday.

[Pato del Muerto 52863]

Speith and Louie both had about a 6 hole bad stretch that Collin just didn’t have. Louie all today and speith 17 yesterday thru 4 or 5 today. 
 

meanwhile morikowa has had great recovery shots when he gets out of position and made all the putts since his two bogies early yesterday.

really bad read.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9435]

Misread by Jordan on that putt. M-O-R-I-K-A...

Safe lag by Collin on the par 3.

He had one, start of round 3 was very mediocre play

He righted the ship after his early struggles yesterday and has been just unstoppable since.

you knew when he fixed that spike mark it was going to be too far right

Hoping for morikawa melts down. 

[dcar00 14602]

spieth just getting no breaks and collin getting all of them.

[Pato del Muerto 52863]

Jordan keeps getting unlucky rolls and Collin getting the opposite. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9435]

Jordan getting every bit of unkind luck that has been missing Collin all day.

17 was just a stupid play not getting it past the false front and 18 was even more stupid

[tx 3 putt 77923]

Morikawa is just damn solid, congrats to a very deserving champ 

[Teddyballgame 441]

Love me some Jordan. But a drunk bet back in October has me pulling for Collin

it does please me that Morikawa has more major titles than Bryson.

[dcar00 14602]

Jordan needs to just keep hitting that cut and dialing the shit out of it.  He's back for good.

Bryson carded a 65 today and I didn't see a single shot. Thank you, European producers who controlled the feed.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9435]

Open prize money payout

Nice breakdown.  Some notables:

Morikawa $2M

Jordan $1.2M (not a bad paycheck for 2nd place)

Oostie and Rahm tied so each got almost $770K

Dylan Frittelli earned some seed money with almost a half mil (plus an auto invite to St Andrews next year. Sheffler added $300K to his bank account

Bryson earned $67,250 while screaming that his Cobra driver "sucked". I wonder how his next sponsorship negotiation goes?

Fowler made $30K which, after paying his caddie, lodging for the week, taxes, incidentals, etc. means he probably would have been better off staying stateside and filming another commercial.

Would have been a 58 with decent clubs.

Feels weird with the majors being wrapped up. The US Ryder cup team will be damn strong

[LTtxfan 49405]

-6 in the final 12 holes today -- DAMN FINE EFFORT JORDAN !!! 🤘

spieth played his ass off !!!!

couple of dumb bogeys cost him a shot at a playoff. make no mistake though, morikawa is one of hell of a talent 

[Hank Kingsley 21083]

Love Morikawa. Incredible that he won in his Open Championship debut, without much links course experience. No doubt the great weather and easy wind conditions really helped. He was able to pick the course apart and had a good week with the putter. 

No bogies in last 31 holes of the tournament. His mental game is strooong.
