A side note, the British courses always looks like a muni course on drought year water restrictions and a grounds crew that just doesn't give a shit about weeds. It looks like players are teeing off on dirt. Probably better looking in person but the only green seems to be the greens. 

I played a course in Scotland, the name escapes me, but it was a course that had been used for the Ryder Cup.  I am not an avid golfer, but have had a chance to play a few nice courses over the world.  It was super weird looking out on a golf course and seeing no trees and seeing the heather (weeds) lining the fairways.  Seeing those bunkers where when you stand in them you can’t see the course above them.  Very different type of golf.  On that trip I also walked around St. Andrews, but obviously didn’t get a chance to play it.

Rose in the clubhouse at -6. Rory has had a nice Sunday, too.

watching this run Tiger today has been terrific. 

These last two or three holes are making for great viewing.

[Tank]

Molinari headed to 18 at -7. Don't van de velde it and the Jug is his.

[Tank]

Some idiot just yelled during the middle of Tigers tee shot on 18. The shot ended up okay, but the increasing amount of yelling needs to be shut down. It's out of control.

Tigers second shot was terrific and gives him a good shot birdie. Molinari just did likewise and is staring at about three feet to go into the clubhouse at -8.

[Tank]

Tiger has about a five footer for birdie.

[Lou]

that guy should be slapped across the face with a glove 

[Blarg]

Nope. Par was not good enough today.

[Tank]

Tiger misses the putt and ends up -5. What a great week for him.

[Lou]

damn.

miss it Molinari! 

[Tank]

Molinari makes the birdie. Bogey free 69 today. Leader by two.

[Lou]

damn again.

i hate how they seem to be giving Molinari the title. 

[Blarg]

He has earned it so far.

[Tank]

Oops. Forgot about X-man at -7.

Tigers kids here with him this week.

[Lou]

X is still in contention

Spieth has had a terrible day. He looks like valbuena out there.

[Blarg]

A lot of choking going on right now.

Sorry. Nondisclosure agreement still in effect.

I forget who it was setting up a short putt, but the announcer's comment was golden:

"Not a hard putt at all, except for it being the 71st hole at the Open."

[Tank]

X-man in trouble at 17. Someone hush that kid!

[Blarg]

The tourney was slipping away on that second shot, the third was poor. 

[Blarg]

And so it goes.

[Blarg]

Baring a miracle eagle, this Open is closed.

[Homebrewer]

Great last round, lots of drama.

Speith has lost his putter, or his nerve, or both.. this year. It's painful to watch.

[Tank]

Xander needs to sink this eagle to force a playoff. Doing so would make him only the second player eve to eagle 18. The first was the other Zander , who eagled it yesterday from the exact same yardage.
