  1. The expectations of Riry are just too great, the press people pump it up too much, local lad from near portrush etc, then the wheels fall off. He's going to struggle to make the cut.
    With regards to coverage, we miss the BBC doing their 10 hours per day, there again it's down to price.

  2. This is the way an open should be. Tall grass and some high scores. Pebble Beach had 2 problems, 1 short rough and 2 It is a stop on the PGA. Not really that much new from then. MAYBE they should only do 2 courses for the year the Pebble Beach is the US Open venue. Grow the rough and have some weather. (lol)

  3. As mentioned below, the crowds at the open are amazing. I was lucky enough to go last year and everyone was so respectful, it's one of the reasons that it's such a great tournament

  4. That's how golf should sound… with only cheers and clapping. Plus I wanted to see Rory's Quad & Triple and Double Bogeys!! Definitely not a highlight for him mind…

  5. The fact is, Rory’s been playing like garbage all too often for 5 years now. Maybe this is the direct punch in the face he needs to realize he’s coasting on talent, accomplishing nothing and needs to actually challenge himself in 2020. Absolute embarrassment of a round.
