Bryson DeChumpbo

He’s an ***. The sooner the golfing public realizes that the better.

 

[Lord Z]

Putts that look like they're going to roll 10ft by come up a foot short.

 

[vhcat70]

Give me some Brooks.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

The golfing public should already know that.
Phil needs to shoot a 60 tomorrow just to be even par. Damn Phil.

He can't shoot his age.

 

[rick64]

Who was it that had that chip like 40ft to the right of the hole and the slope trickled down to about 3ft??

 

[TCPUKChamps]

TV telecast saying morning wave today may get screwed again Wind wise, as the heavier winds supposed to be in the morning today.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Morikawa

With that rough not sure anyone would have enough golf balls to play that course Without Spectators and Marshalls being there to find your ball in the rough how would you ever find it?

Drinking game: every time they call Dennis Johnson "World Number 1" you have to take a drink.

Dennis?

 

[ukgrad83]

Dennis?

Not to be confused with Dustin "the wind" Johnson..

 

[Lord Z]

Dennis?

Dustin's uber talented younger brother. Take a drink.

 

[mhroe1984]

Oosthuizen can never seem to win, but the dude is always at or near the top of pretty much every tournament he plays.

 

[Glenn's Take]

It's almost not even fun to watch this without the sideways rain.

 

[Lord Z]

I agree. Watching people play golf in the sunshine in England is like watching the Iditarod in Arizona.

 

[_ukcat]

Love The Open and Links golf but need some wind and rain for True Open

Been watching for just 20 minutes this morning and finished 2 Bloody Mary as already... Last count 7 mentions of #1 DJ.

But did they say Dennis or Dustin?

 

[rick64]

Really odd camera shots this year at The Open. Just showed a Spieth birdie putt from 100ft in the air from behind??!! Is NBC piggybacking the BBC feed or something?

 

[Tannerdad]

Speith blew his chances.

Yes they are.

 

[Lord Z]

I am wanting Jordan to win but God help me I knew he was going to miss that last par putt. I was waiting for it. I used to wait for Phil to miss one of those, too.

[rick64]

Azinger talked about Jack’s 18 major wins and 19 second place finishes. Here’s a couple more stats. Jack finished top 5 in majors 56 times, 73 times in the top 10. Wow!!

 

[catsfanbgky]

Actually he was running like he was trying to get to an open stall.

 

[Lord Z]

He was running like he missed a 1.5ft putt.

 

[CondorCat]

Yep. NBC is using some of the BBC coverage:

NBC to handle most of Royal St. George's TV coverage remotely due to travel restrictions

[CatInCanuckLand]

I wish they would only show my FanDuel players. Don’t care about any of the other bums. Luckily have a few in the last groups coming out.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Big swing at the 7th.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

And once again Oostie shows a similarity to Greg Norman. Can’t get it done on Sundays.

 

[Lord Z]

^Ouch. Greg Norman is my favorite player of all time.

Morikawa certainly was clutch down the stretch. Nobody can say he backed into that one.

I like Greg Norman too but man he blew a lot of majors.

 

[Lord Z]

More like snake bit in a lot of majors. The most thrilling sporting event I've ever watched was Faldo chasing Norman down at the Masters. Norman was Shakespearean tragedy out there on the course and I admired the way he took it.

Larry Mize hitting that line drive to win. Norman was such a tragic and majestic figure out there standing and taking all those bad beats in. Jaws clinched and that Australian cowboy hat on is an iconic golf image.

 

[rick64]

6 shot lead heading into the final round of the Masters was painful to watch.

 

[Tskware]

6 shot lead heading into the final round of the Masters was painful to watch.

I believe he is the only golfer to lose all four majors in a playoff, imagine what his career would be perceived like if he had only won two of those, if not three?

Be considered an all time great.
