The 150th Open at St Andrews

Par4QC

garyt1957 The way everyone is playing, in cruise control, looks like maybe just the top 1 will win. 1/2 way home, and I don't see it getting harder for anyone.
Viktor can't seem to get within 80' of the hole, so Rory doesn't have to either. But he is.

Par4QC Maybe Cam Smith can make it interesting

Rory better start making those easy birdie putts or he's gonna choke this up...

He just did.
Prepare for the Rory gag show...

5 birdies in a row surely puts some tention on Rors

Clutch putt by Smith, might have won him the tourney

It did.
Putting, yet again, does Rory in.

Eguller

Spuzz Putting, yet again, does Rory in.

Not sure.... 36 putts, but it seems like he wasn't dialed in/agressive enough with this irons into the greens to get it closer. JMO

Spuzz

Eguller he wasn't dialed in

Agree.
No real blunders but he did miss putts that others were making, and he was in the bottom 1/4 of scores today, and the worse score in the Top 15 (aside from Hovland) on a easy playing course today.

Mattyv

Helluva tournament for Cam Smith. He went out and took it today. Well done.

garyt1957

Holland choked, I wouldn't say Rory choked but he didn't rise to the occasion. Cam Smith was superb

Eguller

Spuzz

Your point is well taken with hitting 18 greens but soooooo many putts. He had to be defensive more than not.
The point came when he knew he had to shoot at more pins, etc but he didn't. With these sharks, he had to.

Rickochet

When asked how he will celebrate tonight he said while looking at the jug that he will find out how many beers will fit into it. Cheers Cam. 🍻

Missed everything while at church. Got to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch just as Smith was putting around the Road Hole bunker. What an up-and-down! On 18 when Young tied it with eagle and then Smith took the lead back with birdie I was thinking what’s next, a HIO from Rory? I didn’t care who won today, but glad someone won it aggressively.

I have never been a big Rory fan but never disliked him. I watched his interview after the round and you could see the disappointment on his face. He admitted that he played a nice controlled round but missed a bunch of opportunities. He did give credit where credit was due and and said that he wasn't the best golfer on the course today and congratulated Cam on his great round. I have more respect for Rory. Well done young man.

Rickochet I don't think anybody ever doubted he was a pretty good guy

Not surprised by how Rory handled the loss. Rory is a class act.

Some of the best putting I've ever seen (in a major) by Cam Smith. Tee to green as well. The birdie string on 10 thru 14 was epic.
