Golf - classic or dud

is ryan moore wearing... a hoodie?!

just put

5 e/w on poulter 50-1
5 e/w on mcdowell at 25-1
5 e/w on ricky fowler at 66-1 (who has just birdied)

paddy power paying out for places on the top 7.

Long odds on Poulter. Has he been off the boil/ an issue with links golf?

kinda off the boil i think

Thomas bjorn -5 after 18. Be surprised if anyone tops that today. Luke donald even through 12. Lol British Summer (half the players in wooly hats)
Re garda's bets - think those are v good odds on fowler top7. Gmac been a bit meh this year and managed a 9! last week.
God if only sergio could putt.

Poulter needs a par for a 69, so looking good Garda. And he got it. -1 after 18.

yeah been keeping a loose eye on it despite few minor faffs in work/life all day, poults at -1 sitting pretty. fowler slipped back which is a shame, but still well in it really at level par. if even one of those came through could make a nice few quid.

frickin old ass dudes like calcavecchia & jimenez always shoot well in the brit open its kinda wild

yeah was just thinking that, is it cos of weather/links that experience helps? where's ken brown when you need him?

Calc is always up there in first round of the british. I know he,s a past champion but I've never really associated his game with links golf. Westwood +3 and looking poor.

i think it was 2 yrs ago when calc was still very in the mix the last day and fell apart. yeah i dont really get it either

so hows it work, david duval gets to keep playing in majors until he shoots or turns 85?

so totally dud, was bummed when my dad took it up in his old age

All previous Open Champions who will be age 60 or under on the final day of the tournament.

That's just for the Open tho, dunno about the other Majors. He probably doesn't qualify for the Masters.

my bets all looking in good shape

didn't see much today but who is the guy who looks like justin bieber? not a good golf look.

ricky fowler!

i hate his guts.

20 yr old amateur joint leading was ice cold on the back 9.
Yeah GMac's birdie-birdie finish leaves you well placed Garda.

love the communal joy at the hole in one

That McDowell bet is looking good, even if he does have a weird NI-American accent.

Aw man Tom Watson just got an ace!

Gerrinnaholetommy!

There's a lot of Ulster in the "American accent" anyway... not surprisingly perhaps

tom watson hole in one, amazing! what a guy.

mcdowell doing his best to end his chances today.

Conditions look perfect but no-one really tearing up the course yet. Greens as quick as I've seen them at an Open in quite some time.

perving at some japanese golf courses, this looks lush

Didn't realise Sandwich was still a men-only club. Fuck letting them have the Open.

You're joking? Really! Don't know why I'm surprised, it was less than 10 years ago that the club I belong to had us vote on extending membership to women. Kinda mindblowing to me as I assumed there already were women members. Then again I only ever play the course by myself, really don't do the social thing.

just came up on the radio commentary. am honestly surprised that they've been kept on the roster.

The logic here totally escapes me.

wow, nice sand save by RM on 18

lol did anyone hear hazel irvine say "From Northern Ireland, Graeme McDowell has won the US Open, and Rory McIlroy too. Maybe if Darren Clarke can win this, they'll all stop fighting."

!!!

couple of 70s might take this

about to leave, watching bbc talk about the apocalyptic weather...YAY

oh lol, thought you were going yesterday for some reason

enjoy?

i'm glad i have just been paid and wouldn't feel too bad if it was horrible and we left after a few hours.

sure it'll be fun regardless

how you going to do it, pick a hole and sit or pick a group and follow?

haven't heard/seen a word of this whats the rumpus

darren clarke is winning but he'll have had a few pints last night no doubt.

think maybe pick a hole, though we should get there a little after the time fowler/mcilroy start, so that could be good to follow.

!

darragh heard if clarke wins maybe y'all will stop all the fighting

who can forget the violent scenes when ronan rafferty failed to win year after year in the 80s.

last time i punched a prod was last night, but it was only a dead arm and he was stiffing on his rounds the cunt

doubt even d clarke could do anything with the same man tbh he's a 'terrible man' for to be in rounds with

loving this feature on the ultimate open course

9th at turnberry is gorgeous

yeah great piece unlike the awful helicopter ride earlier.

did i tell the story on ilx before about clarke drinking in my local pub in dublin from 1pm till 1am the day before the irish open. had a major lol the next day reading "clarke shot an 81 in the opening round at portmarnock"

Haha,class.

"it's the guinness"
