The 150th Open | St Andrews | 10-17 July 2022

He didn’t.  Smith took it.

Yeah, golf is a cruel game. Rory really didn't hit a bad shot all round, but his putts didn't drop. And Cam made everything.

Rory's all class in this presser.

He and Spieth both need to get divorced. 7 majors combined before they got hitched. O majors combined after marriage. 

Was it the marriage or was it the hundreds of millions from UA and Nike?

Not a lot of people bang in 30 footers with regularity 

As someone stated above, conditions were perfect for scoring. He was NEVER going to win the Open shooting a 70 when the the majority of the field shot much better. His putter failed him. It's not like he was lipping out putts. He just didn't have it today. Not the day for the putter to fail.

Like I said Friday morning- Cam Smith in a walk, easy peasy. 

[4th&Five 41535]

First time ever all 4 major winners were in their 20’s, right?

Yep

If Rory wasn't gonna win, nice to see Cam Smith win... the PGA needs a lot more younger entertaining players to win and generate more fan interest...  

Aussie... Aussie... Aussie !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[GhostOfTomJoad 9324]

Three first time major winners this year. Only Thomas at the PGA kept Zalatoris from making it 4.

Golf's in good shape.

Not much to really dislike about Smith.

[LTtxfan 49184]

So who is gonna win player of the year ??

Meh on the mullet.  But, the facial weeds should be embarrassing.

Happily, neither is a detriment to his golfing skills.

Still can't believe Rory hit his drive so short of 18 green

I know this was said in jest but Jack talked about it when Tiger got married. Said it makes golf tougher because of the family commitments and so much more going on in your life. Golf is forced to take a back seat.

Has there been any smoke about Cam to the LIV?  Hadn’t heard that.

Rumors don't mean shit (until they do) - there were rumors about Spieth.

[4th&Five 41535]

Well, he had a chance to shoot them down and had a pretty terrible answer. Spieth shot it down immediately.

I never heard anything about Spieth, just the opposite. Vic Hovland, Morikowa and a couple other big name young stars yeah, but not Spieth.

Scott, Stenson and Leishman also on the list of those about to jump.

Fuck me- I thought Scott had already jumped. Is Norman still a hero down there?  Would think that might help in recruiting a guy like Cam Smith. 
If he wants to jump now he gets to play the. Ext 20 majors for free, right?  
free up some time for his modeling career.

spieth started going down hill well before he got married

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Spieth won so much including all those majors between 2015 and 2017.  Rory did same 2011 to 2014.  In this century only Tiger has been the machine that has been able to see that kind of supernova success in a 2-3 year period and sustain it any longer that that.   Same goes for Brooks, 2017 to 2019 supernova and then...

(though I will allow that unlike Spieth and Rory 5 years hasn't passed since Brooks last major)

It's not so much the marriage (though I guess it probably does play some small part) it's that true MACHINES only come along every so often.  Tiger was one, Jack was one, there are obviously some others but they are very rare.

Doesn’t coaching and changing caddies also play a role in addition to the undefeated taco snatchers?

This right here.  Spieth already has had an amazing career.  What Tiger and Jack have done is amazing.

I think he's needed a new caddy for years but Rory doesn't come to me for advice.

His previous caddy was fired for making wrong calls so now he has a caddy that basically does nothing but hand Rory a club and give him a hug after losing the Open. He wants it this way, all on him and no one else. I can respect that.

Didn’t  FIGJAM and Bones part ways because they disagreed about club choice on the 17th at The Players, Phil went with what Bones wanted, and came up short?  I’m sure there was more going on there, but I read somewhere that was the spark that lit the fire.

Had a lot more to do with the $900k Phil owed him.
