OT: The Open Championship pool

[Harry Crack]

Yeah, I agree. Not a big fan of Royal Liverpool either. Links courses are often lacking in character/signature in my opinion, so this one came off as a little bland. But St. Andrew's in 2015 - that should be cool!

St. Andrews is a fricken gold Shrine !!! If i am not mistaken i think another FN ex-pat "Old Tom" has golfed there.

Royal Liverpool is too tame a venue for the Open.

Sergio's quote from the 2012 Masters

yep, he's right.

the look on his face today down the stretch didn't show that his self-realization brings him much comfort, though.

Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

Should note I called the final four and the final of the Olympics, too.

Well, then let me propose a toast.

Hollowed ground, HC. I played there twice.

Although if I had only one round of golf left to play and I could pick any course, I'd choose Muirfield.

See you all at the PGA Championship in August. I'll start a pool for that one too.

 

[Canuck eh?]

Congrats Danny.

 

[slapshot]

Congrats Danny.

Congrats indeed Danny. My only objection to the coverage of the event was the non-stop references to Eldrick (in the papers down here and on sports on TV). Rory is a great golfer, seems to be a really good guy, and I hope his career lasts for decades to come.

If anyone has a chance at breaking Jack's major win record it's Rory, not Tiger.

The talking heads and leering press just can't let go can they?

Congrats Dany , and thanks Stranger for Commish duties !

Agreed.

Tiger shouldn't even be picked for the US Team this year, never mind winning another major. He finished over 20 shots off the winning score, #thatshiphassailed

I would love to go lose 30 balls and shoot a solid 136 over there !!

 

[elocomotive]

I still think Tiger will win another major or two and hasn't he still won as many tournaments in the last year and a half as any other American golfer?
