Currently watching highlights from 1999 at Carnoustie, what a tough gig that was. Cut came at +13 for a cut line - I'd forgotten that, usually highlights from that year only cover Van De Velde's late meltdown and the play off.

Either way, DeChambeau's caddie will be in the golf shop buying more balls at the turn Thursday and Friday. Giphy - Despicable Me Reaction GIF

I don't see a way for Bryson to win this one, because I don't think he handles adversity very well. You have to accept there that you're going to hit good shots that turn out badly.

Rickie Fowler sporting the porn star look with the shades and 'stache. Even my wife grimaced at his look during his 1st tee introduction.

Surprised at how well they are all hitting fairways. And the rough does not look all that penal.

    Par4QC Hope so. I didn't bother to look at the forecast when I made my pick and if the weather stays fair his links experience isn't going to be much help. Plus someone else picked him at a lower score.

      Par4QC Wind & rain coming in. That'll slow 'em up on scoring. Maybe.

      And that's why I'm not crazy about the British Open, too much luck involved. The morning guys had easy conditions and the afternoon guys get wind and rain. And it might not even out tomorrow when they switch times. That and all the goofy bounces you can get on some of the courses leave way too much to chance.

        Lefty with a smooth 80. Yikes.

        Prediction: DeChambeau will be visiting major OEM club manufacturers and their R&D divisions in the next few weeks. His marriage to Cobra is on the rocks and the feeling is mutual.

        Okay, but whoever wrote that return blast from Cobra had better have a friend in the CEO's office.

          johnnydoom mikeintopeka That's pretty crazy, but I guess Cobra hasn't been willing or able to engineer what he thinks he needs. Can't imagine he's helping himself with anyone by airing it out publicly though.

          I have no idea what his equipment contract is worth and I assume he's still rocking Cobra's single-length irons. Bryson's endorsement sold a lot of those clubs for Cobra. But can you imagine how uneasy it's going to be at public appearances, per his contract, and try to explain the virtues of Cobra drivers to his audiences?

            DonM - I believe it was the Cobra rep that caddied for him in Bryson's last tourney after he bagged his caddy and needed a fill-in at the last minute. The Cobra rep is pissed off per his response so maybe Bryson stiffed him on the minimum guarantee since it was a missed cut. , in addition to today's fiasco?

            (I watched too much Twilight Zone and conspiracy theory stuff growing up 😁.)

              LBlack14 Where's the telecast?? No, I haven't read through this.

              It went off the air at 3p Eastern because most of the play was in the books for the day. I did the streaming online for a while through the Golf Channel but it was Chamblee rambling on air. I had to access the stream via my Uverse credentials otherwise it's by subscription.

              I had it on my TV most of the day on Golf Channel while trying to get some work done.
