Would be worse if they didn't have the play through.The play through commercials need to be fired into the sun
Bryson IS the slow player. One of the worst on tour.Where's Bryson? Isn't his strategy to deal with slow players to slow down himself, get the group on the clock, then his playing companion has to speed up?
yeah, that was awesome. The Smith shot a couple min later from the left rough to about 2 feet for Eagle might have been even better, but other than knowing he was on the pother side of the mound, we have no idea what type of lie he may have hadBest shot/smile of the tournament by Lowry.
Best shot I’ve seen anyway.
He’s just not a great putter. It’s the weakest part of his game.Koepka has just had an awful putting day, and really pretty much an awful putting tournament so far
Fair enough, but it really depends when the weather hits. I could maybe see a scenario where it gets bad and the lead drops to 8 or 9. Too many good golfers out thereThe weather/wind is supposed to be brutal tomorrow afternoon. The leaders could be at a severe disadvantage, and this still anyone’s tournament.
Yeah he had a pretty perfect lie thereLooks like Lowry caught a break on that tee shot, ended up in the area where the gallery has trampled the grass down. Couple of feet further left and he’d be in the deep shit.

Sunday tee times have been moved forward due to the adverse weather forecast. The first tee time will be at 7:32am with the leaders beginning their final round at 1.47pm #TheOpen
Yeah, this is a pretty questionable move. It’s one thing if dangerous weather is expected, but another altogether when we’re just talking about wind and rain. Seems like protecting the leaders from rub o’ the green. Rare misstep by the R&A here, I think.That sucks!
So the leaders will tee off about 5:47 my (CA) time. Early, set to record.And on cue: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheOpen/status/1152636675031490560?s=19

Never know, remember Jean van de Velde...3 shot lead seems huge right now.
Or he may run away with it like Tiger at the 2000 US Open.Never know, remember Jean van de Velde...

With the tee times moved up 2 hours because of expected weather, I can only hope the weather arrives 2 hours earlier than expected
Holmes went from a share of the lead to 6 back and he shot 2 under. Nobody would have guessed the course would give up a -8 bogey-free round.Imagine telling Fleetwood before the round, you’ll shoot 66 but trail by four. Amazing round by Lowry but his driver looked a little shaky to me. Some weird looking swings.
I realize 17 is a unique hole but compared to the swing Holmes made, I thought Lowry really tried to guide the ball.Holmes went from a share of the lead to 6 back and he shot 2 under. Nobody would have guessed the course would give up a -8 bogey-free round.
Lowry’s chicken wing 3 wood on 14 (or 15?) that almost took out some spectators was certainly loose. But then he righted himself on 17 and 18.
This is the correct answer. I played Portrush once, back in 1996 at a time when I wasn't playing that well, and this week absolutely has me itching to go back. (It's weird...Northern Ireland has two absolutely world-class courses in Portrush-Dunluce and Royal County Down, two very solid courses in Portrush-Valley and Portstewart, and almost nothing worth playing after that.)This course rocks.
Rain is not yet a big factor. Wind is kicking up and forecast to get worse.Haven't turned it on yet, but doesn't appear weather is impacting scoring so far. A lot of -3 rounds and Molinari finished -5 on the day.
I don't think anyone catches Lowry.
Terrible pairing for KoepkaJB’s gonna test Brooks’ slow play patience today.
