The Open Championship - St. Andrews (Old Course)

[Comfortably Lomb]

Cam Smith getting the road hole experience all of a sudden. Not sure he has any chance at going near the pin with his 3rd.

 

[johnmd20]

Pretty bad camera angle on Rory's putt there.

 

[cshea]

Problem is Rory has to play 17 too. It’s essentially a par 5.

It' a legit hard hole, but Rory did Birdie on Friday. And if he puts his drive in the fairway, then birdie is a possibility.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Joe Dirt displaying a nice touch. Clutch putt upcoming.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great tee shot.

 

[johnmd20]

Cam fucking Smith.

 

[moretsyndrome]

Smith has been extraordinary

 

[ifmanis5]

Great par putt under pressure.

 

[cshea]

Good chance that’s the winner

 

[canderson]

Really good stuff from Smith

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Balls of steel on Dirt!

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

That's a winning type of recovery right there.

 

[The Napkin]

4 hole aggregate - 1st, 2nd, 17th and 18th holes. In case you were wondering.

 

[ifmanis5]

Wow, Young has re-entered the chat. Getting good here.

 

[moretsyndrome]

One of these has to go, man

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Some good golf being played by the leaders

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Would be fun to see both young and McIlroy make their putts

 

[ernieshore]

Commercial as the potential winner walks up 18. Fucking hell.

 

[cshea]

I’d kinda like to see how Hovland ended up on 18 tee. And his recovery.

If this putt goes in, the town may crumble.

 

[johnmd20]

Just can't hit the putt.

 

[ifmanis5]

They went to a two box?

 

[cshea]

NBC sucked the life out of all that

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Rory not putting poorly but nothing dropping for him. I enjoyed the camera catching him mouthing "fuck" before cutting away.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Winner

 

[canderson]

That should do it.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great roll from Smith.

 

[johnmd20]

Cam Smith has been phenomenal today.

I was pulling for Rory. But this has been impressive.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Titanium gonads on Smitty. Wow.

 

[shawnrbu]

Joe Dirt!

 

[johnmd20]

NBC sucked the life out of all that

We call that the double box.

 

[The Napkin]

putt for dough

 

[ifmanis5]

Holy shit.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

WOW.

 

[johnmd20]

Cam Young, I tip my hat to you.

 

[voidfunkt]

Another year, another Rory choke

 

[cshea]

What do I have to do to trade Cam Young’s 2 to Rory?

 

[allstonite]

Wow. I thought he was done after that baseball swing out of the bunker. Incredible day for Smith.

AND THE OTHER CAM

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Commercial as the potential winner walks up 18. Fucking hell.

They went to a two box?

NBC sucked the life out of all that

The Peacock can suck it.

DIRT for the WIN!

 

[johnmd20]

30 on the back 9.

Amazing.

 

[cshea]

Another year, another Rory choke

Don’t think this was a choke

 

[Al Zarilla]

Doug Sanders mention? Who else remembers him?

 

[johnmd20]

How is Rory short on the drive?

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Don’t think this was a choke

Not even close.

 

[Dollar]

If it's -20, it's almost certainly coming from the final pairing. I don't see either Cam throwing up a second 64, and it's really unlikely that anyone goes lower.

I agreed with you at the time. What a round by both Cams.

 

[johnmd20]

Another year, another Rory choke

This wasn't a choke, man.

Cam shot a 30 on the back 9 on Sunday at the Open.

 

[voidfunkt]

Don’t think this was a choke

How is this not a choke? Literally did nothing all day while the field behind him was moving up. Whether it was bad strategy or bad play, it is a choke.

 

[BigMike]

Another year, another Rory choke

Not a choke, but he certainly has let it get away. It felt like he got lulled into match play with Hovland, and played the front 9 too conservatively

 

[E5 Yaz]

Another year, another Rory choke

That wasn't a choke by any means. Calling it a choke takes away from what Smith did

 

[ifmanis5]

Rory did not choke this, he just wasn't good enough. Smith took it away from him.
