THE OPEN: ROYAL LIVERPOOL July 20-23, 2023

[Redneck Mutha 7,956]

Putting machine.  Lead back to 4.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,324]

Harman has one hand firmly on the Claret. Just can't see him shooting worse than one or two over today. His putter isn't showing any signs of betrayal.

Thru 60 holes, the little man has been impressive...

[dcar00 14,208]

harman is nails with the putter. if he keeps it clean off the tee it is over.

 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,324]

Back to back birdies by Harman. The engraver can start sharpening his tools.

 

[Redneck Mutha 7,956]

Back to -12.  +10.67 strokes gained putting.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,324]

Straka lips out a 2' par putt. 

Rahm misses a birdie by half a ball. 

But Day with a nice hole out to give the drenched crowd something to cheer about.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,324]

And we're at Waggle count for the graphics! You know the tournament is a snooze when they're digging that deep.

[LTtxfan 49,187]

Terrible birdie putt attempt on #15 for Spieth.

Just amazing how horrible he is inside 10ft

So far, so good for Harman... Damn impressive

[Wally Fairway 5,550]

I would like to congratulate Brian Harman on being the Champion golfer of the Year (not kidding/not jinxing); the only thing that can stop him now is somehow going Van De Velt on 17 and/or 18

And welcome to the Ryder Cup - USA USA USA!

Oh no... Spieth has a 5ft putt for birdie on #17

Sweatergawd I thought it was stuck on a loop yesterday.

 

[ztejas 43,448]

Harman has a lot of holes left. I just think he's too many shots clear. I don't see anyone getting to better than -9.

Scottie shoots -4 (67) and ends up Even for the tournament.  Hope I'm wrong, but won't be surprised to see Spiethcoaster finish behind Scottie...

Conditions seem to be getting worse.

 

Spiethcoaster tied with Scottie at Even going into 18th.  Jordan has a birdie putt attempt from 20ft...  Just misses.

Shoots 73, ends up tied with Scottie

[Redneck Mutha 7,956]

Spieth -3.15 strokes gained putting (138th)

Yep. Ultra conservative, pars for the win. 
 

I think someone will have to get to -10 to have a sliver of hope he comes back to them.

Sometimes it’s just your moment when everything clicks. 

[Firemans4Horn 18,049]

What a putt

[Redneck Mutha 7,956]

5 stroke lead, 3 to go.  And on the green in regulation on 16.  Very impressive performance.

[Redneck Mutha 7,956]

Check that, up 6 with 2 to play.

[LTtxfan 49,187]

Damn what tee shot on #17 for Harman

[ztejas 43,448]

If he triple bogeys this from the green and then cards another triple on 18 we'll get a playoff. 

Crazy for a 36 y/o that hasn't won in 6 years to just beat the brakes off everyone like this.

Thx for that confirmation.  Jordan might need some new coaching for putting -- maybe spend some time with Faxon.

I also wonder how much longer Greller can tolerate Jordan... he's a fuckin' beating at times.

[thunderlounge 7,832]

Definitely a crazy tournament. Ho hum coming down the stretch, but damn impressive margin.

 

[dcar00 14,208]

only guy to shoot all 4 in the 60's.  Dude crushed the field.  Hilarious his wife is at home going on 4 mile walks.

“Hot dog eating American pie”

 

that’s your signature call on 18 Zinger? Jesus

[dcar00 14,208]

only 2 bunkers.  did he not miss anything inside 10 feet?

[Pato del Muerto 52,498]

He made that round look sooooooo easy. 
 

guess it’s ok to be last in driving distance when you are first in accuracy, first in scrambling, and first in putting.

She's gotta keep in shape for that 3 day marathon fuck he's going to lay on her after this. Of course a day and a half or it is going to spent waggling his dick before crushing it in her

you can say that again.

wonder if they have enough plates for the 4 2nd place guys.

[kingkoopa6 8,350]

A little putting monster !

[msucolt45 4,059]

I am actually rooting for the “lefty” Brian Harman. Dude isn’t even 5’9 and knocks it a ton for a guy his size. He’s been a “journey man” pro for over a decade, so I would be excited for him to see it through to the Claret Jug.

Hook’em!!!

[msucolt45 4,059]

We’ll done Brian Harman! Solid enough today and nobody really “pushed” him.

Hook’em!!!

[conVINCEd 21,469]

Probably the best putting display I  have seen since Crenshaw was putting on a couple of green jackets.

[dieucla98 2,942]

His putting came back to earth after +8 in round 2 but still finished over +10 SG: putting. Insane work considering he putts with a Starship Enterprise on the end of a pole as a putter.

Rory is about the same size. A lot of small guys out there hitting it a mile these days.

Outstanding!!

Story about having to check the "Claret Jug" is worth the listen... 😂

 

[dieucla98 2,942]

My ballot application for Royal Troon was successful - 4 tickets to the Saturday round. Can't tell how amazing of a feat that is (it's not the Masters after all) and not sure how I'm going to pull it off, but I have to at least buy the tickets, right?

 

[Catpfish 618]

Yeah, I got 4 tickets to the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds.  Now have to figure out the rest.

Not to rain on your parade, but I entered for Liverpool for the first time last year and got tickets. I did it again for Troon this year and got selected again

I was denied for Liverpool. Did you end up going?

I did. We had tickets for like 4 days of practice and fri sat off the tournament. We ended up going to 2 days of practice and the 2 days of the tourney

[Catpfish 618]

Were you able to scalp the extra tickets?

The open ticket app has a resell platform, so you can just say I don’t want these tickets and they will find someone who wants them. You can also transfer the tickets to someone else by entering their email address, but that isn’t available until a couple weeks before the tournament, so it could be difficult to reliably find someone last minute. A couple of my practice round tickets didn’t sell, but they aren’t very expensive
