2024 - The Open @ Royal Troon


Hollywood

Recommended Posts

Weather looks to be a big unknown - the morning/afternoon draw may play easier. 
 

“Bigger” names I like off the cuff:  Rory, Fleetwood, Finau, Hatton. 
 

Longshots - Min Woo, Oosthuizen, Theegala, Tom Hoge. 

 

Fuck it, Jordan almost certainly isn’t going to win but he’s never finished worse than t30 at this event. He has some pretty long odds…

JT birdies 18. Clubhouse leader at -3. 

UT golfer Tommy Morrison is in the field. Became the first American to win the European Amateur last month. He got a Longhorn shoutout on the Euro feed. They commented on his big feet too.

Lulz. The dude has yet to break par all year. 

I’m not saying he can contend (I don’t believe he can no matter the circumstances) but there’s been talk that if he ever could again, it would be at this tournament because you need experience and strategy, it’s an easier walk, etc.  While that sounds nice, the weather pretty much kills that sentiment.

Agreed. He's going up against too much talent to fuck around and win one of these when he's only playing ~15-20 rounds a year.

Yep. I still think he hits it good enough to be out there. It's all the other stuff where his lack of reps really shows up. 3 putting on a par 5, missing shots in places that are dead, etc. Situations where normal touring pros can escape and still scratch out a par, he can't anymore. His recovery shots and ability to will a par into existence just aren't there.

Watching this dude shoot over par is fun. I just can't get into liking him, or really any of the liv dudes.

 

Also......yikes, Tiger. Monty gonna be laughing now.

I hope not.  Tiger 15-0 over Monty in major wins.

Seven under through 36 is fucking bananas in these conditions.

Lowry might could go 71/71 on the weekend and take this one hoke.

Cut line continuing to fall. Those two rounds by Lowry were lights out.

Scottie says he hits a stock 5 iron 205 yards.  yesterday, he hit a full 5 iron about 155 yards. this wind ain't no joke.  this is the way golf was meant to be on a links course.

Scottie in at -2.  bogeyed 18, which sucked, but he is in the mix.  but Lowry looks so comfortable on this course, he's gonna need a mini collapse to bring guys back in.
